I did hear something about that. I don’t put a lot importance in IQ tests beyond measuring basic aptitude, basic mathematical knowledge, cognitive speed. I don’t think Obama is stupid. I would say he’s probably above average.
Consumer spending went up because the Obama administration changed the way it was measured. They started to inlcude student loan debt, which was previously not counted. There is a higher consumer balance now because of it so it counts as consumer spending.
Gas prices will kill Obama this summer and its his own fault. The left want so desperately to have high gas prices so they can say we need to focus on other types of energy but plain and simply we arent there yet as a country. The technology isnt there. We need a transition period first. We can lower gas prices but nobody has taken steps to do that. Honestly, I think if Obama is here another 4 years we are going to be in really bad shape. The dollar with be worth 40 cents. The dude just keeps printing money, kicking the can down the street. At some point its going to be time to pay the Piper, usally when its too late.

Obama’s problems are really two fold. You may agree, at least other’s whom I’ve espoused my theory to have agreed.
1. He is an Idealogue. He has this leftist picture of the US and when left to his own accord he gravitates toward it. He has some very bright people around him to constantly pull him back toward the center left. It only works now because he is not yet in his second term. Should he achieve his dream of a second term he will be unrestrained and not drift, but run toward the left.
2. He has an out of control ego. This man really does think that he’s the greatest thing that has ever lived. This is an obvious one from, not only what he’s said, but the way he swaggers when he walks to the way he holds his nose up in the air when giving a speech. He is completely full of himself. No question the most arrogant President in mondern times.
There you have it.

I agree completely, especially #2. Say what you will about the last six presidents - Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter and Ford - they all showed humility at times and never came close to displaying the hubris and arrogance that Obama consistently does.[/quote]
And logically one would think that this will ultimately be his undoing given how people tend to stumble badly who have this “disease.” There is only so much cover that the press can give him.

Insult and run. Throw shit and disappear into the crowd.
Never address any substantive issues for you shall surely lose.
Shout loud. Make witty slogans and phrases and continue to appeal to the lowered intellect of the crowd.

I know. Obama, a leftist? It is to laugh. The man’s so far up Wall Street’s ass he’s probably singing Lloyd Blankfein a soulful lullaby as we speak. Speaking as someone who shares common cause with the left on a variety of issues, the Prez is a lotta things but he ain’t no leftist.
It’s not like that’s a particularly tough case to make, either. Gitmo? Still open for business. Afghanistan? Still there. Iraq? Dust hadn’t even settled from the choppers before they were back to blowing each other up. Health care? A shitty compromise that satisfies no one, least of all the people it was meant to help. Drone attacks splattering civilians all over Waziristan, Homeland Security spying on US citizens and he’s busy pushing fracking harder than a coke dealer at a frat party. To say nothing of the fact that NO ONE went to jail over the financial crash or that the Fed secretly gave out a trillion fucking dollars to the banks, with nary a whisper from anyone in power, least of all him, y’know, the guy we fucking elected to stop this shit from happening again. Yeesh.
Anyone who thinks he’s a leftist has a severely retarded definition of politics. He’s the face of a public relations campaign on behalf of the elite. Duh.

Yeah, but you are assuming that being “left” automatically means being anti business.
In reality, the sort of collectivism the left stands for goes quite well with corporatism, they are an easy match.
It is neither new or unusual that big business is brought on board to implement changes in a society, like “free” healthcare and that they, at least initially, expect to benefit greatly from it.
Of course that sort of leftism, if combined with a militaristic, aggressive foreign policy and the tendency to draw power to the political center is usually called “fascism”, but I will leave it up to you how something that is supposedly so diametrically opposed to true leftism arranges itself to well with it time and time again.
PS- edited. Damn dyslexia, which I do not even have!?!

I think this guy does a pretty good job.
However, an IQ of 120-130 is hardly phenomenal.
It probably is however kind of the cut off point where someone still can effectively communicate with people of average intelligence.
Anything more and politics would be like facing monkeys flinging poo.
If Obama gets it, the country hits bottom. Sadly, that might just be exactly what we need. If government bankruptcy forces us to stop funding tertiary education, we can fire all the Marxist professors and save our young people from having their minds destroyed in college.

And I kind of do not get why any Republican and be it the most determined hack would want a Republican president in office when that happens.
Let Obama be at the helm when the shit hits the fan, why take the blame and accept Romney for all the trouble on top of it?

There’s a certain amount of sense to that, I agree.

Obama’s approval rating up to 50 percent: Reuters/Ipsos poll
(Reuters) - For the first time since early July, more Americans approve of the job President Barack Obama is doing than disapprove, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll that shows his approval rating now at 50 percent.
The poll, taken March 8-11 on the heels of reports that 227,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in February, indicates that Obama’s rating has risen by 2 percentage points during the past month. The percentage of Americans who disapprove of the Democratic president was 48 percent, down from 49 percent in February.
Some other polls have shown a recent dip in Obama’s approval rating, and linked that to rising gasoline prices.
But for most Americans, other economic trends during the past month have been relatively positive. Obama appears to be benefiting from that, and perhaps from a bitter Republican presidential campaign that at times has focused on divisive social issues such as abortion.

This idea that teachers are indoctrinating students with liberalism,Marxism, Socialism etc is fucken crazy.
I’ve been in college for almost 4 years now and cannot recall a instance were I had any of that stuff shoved down my throat. Only thing I can recall is teachers(very few) that make a small quip about Obama or a Republican candidate. Now I know what I’m saying is selection bias(or is it confirmation bias I forget lol) but most teachers just want to cover the material and end the class.
But I do know that Political Science courses are more liberal teachers etc but that is only one class for most students. And for Poly Sci. majors well they should know better and take what there teachers say with a grain of salt.
So can somebody please explain to me where this whole brainwashing of American youth into Liberalism comes from? Serious Question.

You don’t get it because you’re giving them too much credit. They actually think a republican president can fix this. They aren’t “aware” enough of there own flaws to cover them up like that.

Nothing is new really except the country is more to the right now than it was back in the 70’s but its also the result of the lies and hatred spurred by right wing ideologues.
