Brains Are Back!

HEHA is right, sort of; just because a person's IQ (Sarah Palin for instance) is lower than someone elses(B. Obama for instance) does not mean that she would be a worse leader than the "Brainy one". She would be better because what she has is common sense and a faith in America, capitilism and the people of America. BO is too steeped in his ideology of Liberalism and wealth redistribution to see that his policies are taking what G. Bush and congress messed up and making it far worse. If he is aware, then he is just evil. He is not much of a Constitutional scholar as he continues to show each day with taking over companies and appointing Czars. How is his apology tour complete with pandering speeches going over? Maybe fine in Europe and the Middle East, but here at home his popularity is starting to plummet. Hopefully America has awaken and ACORN can be subdued so that BO can join the unemployment line where 500-700 thousand Americans have gone every month since the great (unread) stimulus package was passed. Obama is a disaster and he and Liberalism will be vanished for a generation at least in 2012......Good riddance.

PPPPPPPPUUUUUUHHHLEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!! WHy is ut every liberal president is a genius and every conservative a dolt? Clinton asking the meaning of is....nuanced. Obama shutting down Gitmo....with no plan of whatto do...intellectuial...But a principled stand because leadership doesn't require opinion polls....must be slow. We are at war. Our economy is being destroyed. We don't need a speech where the president is thinking out loud. We need decisive leadership, not platitudes, not intellectual discussion to explore and reflect....

We have history that shows us what works and what our enemy will do (They decapitate their prisoners). We know that supply and demand and human nature works (read about the Plymouth realities). We don't need an experiment. Leaders speak clearly and concisely. But hey , the MSM can now attend cocktail parties and snicker at christians,conservtives, and regular folks....intellectuals.

Puhhhhhllleeezzzzzzz!!!!!!!! Why is every liberal president touted as a genius and every conservative labeled a dolt? Is Obama nuanced, or too insecure to have a real set of principles to take a yes/no position? If you take all sides of an issue and talk all day without saying anything, you are an intellectual. Delivering a speech made you smart? Bizzarro world. Brevituy is the key to wit. If you know what you know and believe in a core set of princip[les, then it should take all day to say it, ala Ronald Reagan, George Bush. IF you want to continue to discuss the meaning of is....go ahead intellectuals...

Amen Mr Hirsh, Amen! It's so refreshing to have a US president that speaks and understands English in addition to actually using his brain for something. If Obama achieves nothing else, I hope he can instill a sense of pride and interest in intellectual pursuits. Too many people have been revelling in ignorance for too long.

Sorry, i didnt want to get on a rant here, but...."

Hey Everyone :
Did you know that Barak Obama is the first black president of the USA? Geez, i would have never known that if our friends at ABC,NBC,CBS, MSNBC, FOX, and CNN hadnt told me daily since nov 4th....and about every 15 seconds during the conronatio...err,....Inauguration.

Did u know that Martin Luther King, Jr was apparently black also.....i think he was a speaker of some reknown, but it was so long ago that almost no one who isnt black apparently remembers him or believes in anything he tried to do.....

...and did you know black people were once slaves here in America? (Unlike the millions of slaves held by the Romans, the Assyrians, the Mongols, the Turks, the Babylonians, the Zulus, the Carthaginians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Egyptians, the Russians, the French, the Arabs, the Hindus, and countless other cultures throughout history.....) and that more people were bigoted and racist many years ago than today?

...and when did it become mandatory for any Christian preacher to call themselves Dr?
Isnt that reserved for people who actually earn degrees studying something? Dr of Divinity is an affront to people who actually get PhD's the old fashioned way....they earn them.

And What is keith olbermann going to do now that Bush isnt in the white house ? That was his whole show.....
He's prince Snark.

In fact, humans have limitations. Our knowledge is limited and so intellectualism will only take us to far. It i not a panacea. I have three Degrees two graduate. Experience from Science to Business and the Arts.... All domains of knowledge have boundary conditions and must be respected. Don't apply the wrong methodology, technology or technique to the inappropriate issue m

Be humble and wise

Actually the original sin of Pride is quite in evidence. Arrogance goes hand in hand with intellectualism. Knowledge is not enough. There is no utopia through politics or anything else.

There needs to be humility and wisdom. not in evidence here this magazine or the Obamaians (ever notice every pronouncement of something that is a problem proceeded with a statement of the past 8 years; as if when Clinton was in office the USA was perfect? sorry I don't remember it that way either...its positively Orwellian.)

There is no objectivity or integrity and soon corruption will set in.

Note, its still 2008 and Nov 7, 2009 is about 320 days ahead. The president-elect is really not showing a lot of "change" by allowing old politics in his administration. You don't make any changes by selecting a war monger such as Hillary to be your secretary of state. Above all, if I wanted to make a change in US foreign policy, why would I hire someone who has called to OBLITERATE another country. Our country has suffered enough in world's declining opinion of USA during eight years of Bushomania.

Thank you for the article. I never understand why in the Bush Years it has become: War of the Nerds. In the Bush administration if you???re smart, you must be a lacking in moral fiber, practical and or pragmatic skills. That???s ??????well.....just???..dumb. I want lots and lots of intelligent people working on our country problems. What scared me about Sara Palin is how the Republican base embraced her, The Average Joe (Vice) Presidential candidate. I'm an ???average Joe??? I don't want me to run this country.
