Oh no, no. First of all, I doubt if calling Obama a “bad President” would fly past Robert Bay, and second of all, if we privately dissented from Obamism, it wouldn’t be because of his use of a teleprompter, but rather, because of how the policies of the Obama administration are anti-Catholic.
Clinton was obviously brilliant… from poverty to Rhodes Scholar and on to President. Obama is reputed by some of his professors at Harvard Law School to be the most brilliant student they ever encountered.
Then why wont he release his transcipts? If Obama is what passes for Brilliant at Ivy league schools god help us! Clinton was an oversexed frat boy who slimed the highest office in the land and became only the second president in history to be impeached.
Fixed it for you:
Mudgely, let me offer you a quick lesson in Catholicism. Orthodox Catholicism, that is, not the liberal heterodoxy you often see from those who self-identify as “Catholic”, even though they have more in common with atheists, than faithful Catholics.
If he really wanted to he could stop that. I used to um and uh a lot when I was in my late teens/early twenties. I realized I sounded like an idiot. I made a conscience effort to stop it. Now you would be lucky to hear me say um or uh when I speak.
I think the smartest was Lincoln. I’ve looked at some former Presidents for class and I think Lincoln may have been among the smartest people of that century
While I could definitely make this argument too, let us not forget Thomas Jefferson, our third president, who wrote the Constitution when he was 33 years old. Very intelligent individual.
But does she have to use a sheet of paper as reference or use powerpoint? As a teacher, she probably prepares to teach something that takes under an hour to express. I have myself given speeches completely memorized, but they are generally ten minutes long and I have plenty of time to prepare. It would be very difficult for me to memorize an hour long speech, especially if I was one of the busiest people in the world
I think the use of the teleprompter was something that Rush Limbaugh picked up on, and that became a talking point for criticism, even though past Presidents and multiple foreign leaders use teleprompters. Really though, it’s just a speech that was written that is read. As someone with a decade of public speaking experience, posture is everything when it comes to communication. The appearance of eye contact with the audience affects people
The speech scene from The Ghost and Mr. Chicken just popped into my head.Let the joking commence!
I’m sure Leno, Letterman, et al. are scurrying about as we speak.
It’s because those are private documents and none of our business. The job of the President is not to accomodate every conspiracy theory you have or questions about his academic career.
Seriously? What’s the big deal? What could possibly be so private about his transcripts that they wouldn’t be shared? Is he ashamed of his grades?
Well, legally they are private. They are also none of our business.
Right…but other presidents and candidates have had no problem releasing their’s, so it makes you wonder. Are they worse than George W Bush’s? Maybe they are even worse than Al Gore’s!!
Leaving aside Lucifer (since Judaism has a different take on him, not believing Lucifer to be the evil Satan which Christianity and Islam believe him to be), as a psychologist as well as a person with some knowledge of life, history, and Jewish thought, I can honestly say, even being a liberal, that I am well aware intelligence does not at all ensure morality, as in the case of both Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon. However, neither does stupidity. And abnormality does not mean one is stupid either. The latter situation reminds me of a story one of my graduate school psychology professors told us, when I was a student, about a male sexually-disordered patient whose therapist had a new form of therapy for his sexual disorder, involving the use of a woman who provocatively dances in front of him. At this suggestion, the patient said to the therapist: “I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid!”
Well, that’s their business. Here’s one thing we do know about Obama’s educational background; he graduated from Harvard with honours. That should be enoughRight…but other presidents and candidates have had no problem releasing their’s, so it makes you wonder. Are they worse than George W Bush’s? Maybe they are even worse than Al Gore’s!!
Honestly, for me, his grades in school are of no consequence at this point. Through his first term, he has proven how meaningless his Harvard degree is. If I was a Harvard grad, I would be embarrassed to say so.
Obama has a law degree. A degree in law does not mean one will be a good politician. Let me put it to you this way; I study political science but have a weak grasp on advanced mathematics. Conversely, I know someone who studies math but doesn’t know the first thing about political science. It doesn’t mean either of us aren’t smart, but we just have our own strengths and weaknesses
