It seems that...David, your comment is well phrased.<br />It seems that by speaking with an attitude of great authority (the professorial/lecturer/teacher tone) he has managed to impress upon the naive or ignorant he is wise. <br /><br />I don't know if anyone else caught Mr. Langone's comment about buying swimming pools, but it struck me that he was referring to Obama's naive and narrow view of businessmen as only interested in making money so they can buy nice things for themselves, like tvs. Evidently the lesson about the big three's cash burn went over Obama's head last year.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320105485736052679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-19941006422791975002010-10-15T14:56:55.490-07:002010-10-15T14:56:55.490-07:00Thanks, David.

At best, Obama dons the mantle of the intellectual when it suits him, but, in truth, his intellectual efforts are not very impressive.<br /><br />Does anyone believe that he really wrote the two books that have his name on them, and that form the basis for his intellectual credentials?Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-38867023774413118592010-10-15T13:42:27.353-07:002010-10-15T13:42:27.353-07:00Stuart, I think Obama is an "intellectual&quo...Stuart, I think Obama is an "intellectual" only in the sense that the word has become an assertion of credentials and a claim of status. I've seen no evidence that he has a serious interest in ideas, a thirst for knowledge, or an analytical approach to problems.<br /><br />I think we need to call these people out and not accept them at their own self-estimate.<br /><br />Related thoughts from <a href="http://reflight.blogspot.com/2010/10/elitism-follies.html" rel="nofollow">Rick Darby</a>.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-22055762464371069932010-10-15T12:39:48.331-07:002010-10-15T12:39:48.331-07:00Being an intellectual, and being a philosopher kin...Being an intellectual, and being a philosopher king, Obama is living out the Platonic myth. He believes, as David says, that he knows more than people with experience because he sees the great Ideas. And his vision has never been clouded over by real experience.<br /><br />I think that The Ghost hits on the other most important point: namely, that the nation has, hopefully, discovered that Obama is not a man of his word. He does not feel bound by his word.<br /><br />Thus, the chances for his working effectively with a Republican House or even Congress are very slim indeed.<br /><br />And if we understand that Obama's word is not worth anything, how must nations abroad view his promises and commitments to them?Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-16497414917441389072010-10-15T12:16:36.812-07:002010-10-15T12:16:36.812-07:00there is no longer any confusion about the future ...there is no longer any confusion about the future for businesses.

For his radicalism, he is sui generis.</i> -- Stuart Schneiderman<br /><br />Not really. He's just like every other America-hating socialist-muslim, non-citizen.<br /><br />The only thing that makes him 'unique' is that US were stupid enough to put him in the Oval Office. But many of US who actually have more than two synapses to rub together and are not brain-washed by the flood of garbage coming out of the [literal] boob-tube, could recognize the key 'indicators' of his bent.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chuck(le)<br />[The Truth will out....]Chuck Peltohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407516830005550495noreply@blogger.com
