Hell. I think my dog Max is smarter than Mr Obama.
I think Mr. Teleprompter may be smarter than Max though.

I don't even think it's ignorance, it's too petty.

One may not agree with Obama's politics, but to think he's not a very bright person is either just stupid. The "teleprompter" remarks are equally stupid...

Have you noticed how nobody every makes a well reasoned critique about what Obama actually says when he's not speaking from a teleprompter? All they can do is poke fun of him for not being on one...

Thank goodness he doesn't have a bad studder, the comments would be heartless.

Lame.

Are you serious? Exactly what "credentials" do I need to have an opinion that I was not impressed by the President's speaking ability? I don't see the need to go into a three paragraph dissertation to support this. Typical Spence response to insult the intelligence of anybody that has a differing opinion.

That being said, for the record, I believe he is very bright, just not very impressive when he speaks. Sorry I hurt your feelings.

By the way, it's "stutter" not "studder"

To make a remark like "If he's as sharp as you say he is you'd think he could put two sentences together a little quicker" clearly seems to indicate you don't feel he reaches your own personal standards for intellect.

As for insulting the intelligence of someone with a differing opinion, that's just nonsense. The issue is that the basis for the remarks about Obama have little to do with his real intelligence.

If you watched his press conference I'd think you'd have some substantial critique
of his responses and perhaps praise or contempt for his policy.

Instead there's just petty.

JohnnyD called this one right.

I'm sorry,

That entire post about my dog being smarter than Obama was just my way of poking a hornets nest with a stick
