I'm particularly interested in what The Obama's supporters think, but responses from everyone are welcome.

Define "smart" however you'd like, though, obviously, not all definitions are sound.

Please be sure to explain your response.

Given from where Obama came from and to where he has gone to, I expect Obama is smarter then me

He certainly is more driven and achieved a higher level of academic achievement. The academic achievement while not always an indicator of intelligence, in this case I would say it is

Law school really isnt that hard - millions of lawyers prove this every year.

Intelligence is an arbitrary concept, and I have no grounds for a comparison between the president and myself. Generally, I think he makes rational judgments, if not always the ones I would make.

I'll say "we're even" because I think if we were in a room we would be able to talk on a number of subjects on an even footing.
 
I'd beat him in computer architecture and design, building a house, and repairing a car etc., but I only managed a small group of engineers and spoke at conferences of a hundred people or less. He's doing a far better job than I could.

this isn't another thread for people to whine about the rich in

true. but we also can safely say but for him being black he'd never been accepted into Harvard Law. but you don't graduate MCL from HLS if you are stupid.

graduating from a top 20 law school is not easy. graduating from A law school is not all that tough

I doubt he is as intelligent as Romney but I would give him the nod over Michelle BatGirl. She's smarter than botox Nancy or Biden though

When your in a thread its always a rich whining about everything and everyone else...

Did you work in a shipyard ? were you in the navy ? did you work around asbestos ? Call us NOW you may be entitled to money...I sure hope you have mesothelioma so I can get another 10grand off this class action lawsuit ive had going on for over 20 yrs...AHHH AMERICA is such a good country...

Obama has a law degree from Harvard. Summa cum laude.

do YOU have a degree from a top Ivy-Leage school, with highest honor?

I do not think any politician is stupid. This "the president is idiot to stupid moron" was stupid with the die hard foaming at the mouth Bush bashers did it and it is just as stupid when the Obama Bashers do it.
 
President Obama is much smarter than I am. The stupid folks are the ones who actually believe he ever thought there are 57 states. It was a gaffe after a long day on the campaign trail. So when any right winger brings this up, it give me an indication how smart they are.

How is this any different than when die hard Bush Bashers accused Bush of being a idiot?
 
"The Obama"?? Which one? Barack? Michelle? Sasha? Malia? A future offspring?
 
"Smart" means knowing enough about the issues so as to not vote "present".

smart: (1) : the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : reason; also : the skilled use of reason (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests)

I think we're equal.

if you're saying what I think you are, then I can add "racist" to my list of reasons to lose respect for TD.
 
I wouldn't say "never been accepted", but the fact that he's black didn't hurt things much. Even my much-beloved alma mater's law school has been proven to discriminate against the white male.

As far as Obama, I'd say around equal, maybe with a slight edge toward myself in the fact that anyone with a remote economics background could tell that his policies were detrimental, if not disastrous, from square one.
