He isn't dumb, but I'm smarter than everyone. :2razz:
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.
1. Intelligence isn't necessarily linked to extraordinary careers.So 53% of you think you're as smart or smarter than a law professor from a top 5 law school... So at least half the people on this board are like supreme court justices, major inventors, rhodes scholars, NASA scientists, etc? Who knew!?

2. I'm still young so...maybe. :lol:

"Smart" means knowing enough about the issues so as to not vote "present".

Smart people would recognize that Obama was not a law professor, he was a part-time lecturer who was hired because he was black.
SadFunny.....
Well yeah, there's probably a lot of delusion involved in the answers.I'm claiming it is just one of those things like that poll where 95% of people said they were a better than average driver.

I'm tested between 129 and 136 IQ all my life, using multiple tests.
The man is academically smart. He's not stupid. He's misguided, he's misinformed by those around him and his character is what it is.
Being a law professor does not automatically qualify someone as super duper smart.
At a school like Chicago, yeah, it does.
The University of Chicago released a statement confirming that he was considered a professor. You don't know what you're talking about.Smart people would recognize that Obama was not a law professor, he was a part-time lecturer who was hired because he was black.
Do you really think you can prove that you're smarter than Obama by blurting out idiotic white supremacist rhetoric? I hate to tell you, but that makes you look dumber, not smarter.
And he was a professor... He taught several standard law courses. His title was "lecturer" instead of "professor" because he wasn't tenure track. You don't sign up for tenure track unless you plan on teaching for the rest of your career. But he was definitely a full fledged professor. Full time, had his own classes like con law, etc.
The average LSAT score at Harvard Law equates to an IQ of 141. So, a distinct step above your highest score and yes, 141 is in the genius range. And that's just the average. He came out magna cum laude, so he beat out most the students there, meaning his score was likely above average for Harvard Law.
Eh. He got generally great reviews from students, Chicago kept him for 12? years and invited him several times for the tenure track. It's safe to say his professor status at Chicago is evidence of his intelligence.Not really.
Academic smarts can sometimes shroud a true dumbass, I've known many.
He was the president of the Harvard Law Review - maybe you're unfamiliar with academia, but that's a pretty big thing. He did other stuff as well, but you can look that up on your own. You're racism and ignorance are showing. I suggest you leave now.Y
The facts are that it is unheard of for a candidate applying to be a professor at law schools, never mind top law schools, to even be considered for the position without having a publication record of some kind, without having achievements of some kind, and Obama had nothing - he had no publications, he had no career achievements. He was black. University of Chicago Law School had an embarrassing shortage of black law school faculty.

Actually, at UChicago, great student reviews mean a lot.Great reviews from students can mean nothing. Check out Rateaprof and Pickaprof to see what I mean.
