Recommend if you think Obama is smarter than you and knows what he's doing.

1. And what would that be based on?

Do you have his IQ test results?

[readmoreoften]

2. Well, I do think he's smarter than you.

I'll give him that.

:shrug:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Well then thank you for recommending my thread.

:thumbsup:

[readmoreoften]

7. Thanks for proving my post. /nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. Thanks for proving mine.

:rofl:

[Control-Z]

29. Lol!!

So true.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. He's not smarter than me

Just more educated.

[goclark]

10. He is well educated but so are a lot of people

That said,education does not give you good old fashioned home training and kindness.

He appears to have great home training and manners.

4. I suggest a low calorie alias for you

Yours is giving you a sugar high!

[Marx is my homeboy]

5. He's smarter than I am

But I'm smart enough to not be a fool. Let's not mistake ourselves - Barack is our guy, but Washington is a zero-sum place. You have to constantly make yourself heard. The squeaky wheel, after all...

9. Welcome to DU!

8. Depends on what one views as smart.

Smart people can be wrong about something. There are no man gods (my apologies to the Christians who may be offended by my post).

[Faux pas]

11. Well he's had a lot more book larnin' but I wouldn't say he's

smarter than I am. Smarter than boosh by light years tho. I'm not too happy with some of his bi partisan appointments. Sorry, can't recommend but won't unrecommend either.

[undeterred]

13. I used to think that.

[MineralMan]

14. I don't know if he's smarter than I am, but I'm very certain

that he knows one helluva lot more about the intricacies of running a country than I do. I'm equally sure I know more about mineralogy than he does, and that I could show him lots of shortcuts in Microsoft Word he doesn't know.

I'm glad he's in the White House and not me, and especially not John McCain.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. I will say he is smarter than I....

and I am going to also say he has to play political chess too. At least, I hope that is what he is doing.

[mmonk]

16. Republicans don't play chess.

They pick their pieces and go home. Democrats "compromise". I guess they compromise with themselves since Republicans don't.

[Andy823]

17. Well I think he is

And would recommend this post, but it's obvious the anti-Obama crowd is not going to let you get any rec's so what can I say!

[scheming daemons]

18. I'm unrecommending ANY post that starts with the words "Recommend if.."

Even if I agree with them.

[TexasObserver]

I don't accept instructions from thread starters.

I unrecommend on merit, and this one merits it.

[rollingrock]

19. Some of his appointments and policy positions were anything but smart

he talks a good talk but all too frequently fails to walk the walk.

[Mojambo]

20. I'm sure he's smarter. And I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

But you can know what you're doing and still be doing the wrong thing.

[Ohio Joe]

21. Well... I do think President Obama is smarter then me.

I also think he knows what he is doing. So far, I agree with some of the things he has done, disagree with some others and for the rest, those are things I don't know what the right answer is so I don't know if I agree... I'm working on educating myself so I can decide.

Sorry but... I am going to pass on giving a rec though I won't un-rec either :D

[girl gone mad]

22. In what subjects?

In Quantum Physics, Relativity, Differential Equations, Economics and Concert Music I'm pretty sure I have him beat.

I wouldn't want to debate him on Constitutional Law, International law or History, though.

[FourScore]

23. I hate "recommend if" threads.... n/t

[IADEMO2004]

24. I am just smart enough to vote for him and use a computer

[WI_DEM]

25. I do think he is smarter than I and knows what he's doing but I won't recommend this thread

[greendog]

26. He's certainly smarter than me. He probably knows exactly what he's doing.

But that doesn't mean that I have to agree that he's doing what he ought to be doing.

[Jim Sagle]

27. This thread's goin' DOWN!!!!

;)

[MadHound]

28. Smarter than me, perhaps, knows what he's doing, certainly,

The thing is it's what he is doing that I find objectionable.
