The pseudo-intellectuals' intellectual.

The worst thing about the omniPresident is that one can't hide from his continual and unceasing speechifying. Morning, noon or night can't pass without a news program being interrupted to carry ...him and nothing of substance. A great orator is supposed to leave great speeches that read well. Washington's Farewell Address was actually not delivered orally but was widely published. Read any of Obama's speeches and see if they resonate with more than the momentary flash of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright; if there are any memorable phrases to compare with Lincoln's say, or Churchill's. "Yes we can" repeated multiple times doesn't look good in print and "We are the people we've been waiting for" (besides being plagiarized ) appears nonsensical.
Occasionally, however, something comes through all the insubstantial fluff ( and the constant introduction of people I know not and care less about contributes to the BOREDOM )that is revealing. This morning, trying to watch the stock market on CNBC there was an Obama speech at some community college where he noted that one of those he introduced claimed to have "taken calculus in this very room." He proudly went on, "I didn't take calculus." This might resonate among the academic "scholars" of Black Studies, Gender Studies and Mideastern Studies, but to the mass of educated people this is an astonishing admission, let alone boast. It certainly proves what has been obvious to many: he understands no economics or science.
Obama has added a line to the old wisdom:

He who knows, and knows he knows, he is a leader, follow him.
He who knows, but knows not he knows, he is timid, encourage him.
He who knows not and knows he knows not, he is simple, teach him.
But he who knows not, and knows not he knows not, he is a fool, shun him.

Now we can add:
He who knows not, and CARES not that he knows not, he will lead us astray; flush him.
