Let's just say that if Obama had the same level of charm and likability that Cheney has, we'd never have know who he was.

Oh man, I loved Cheney.
I don't perceive all that charm and likability as anything of substance- just an empty suit. Give me someone with a little testosterone, and some experience in something outside academia, any day of the week.
 

The way Obama articulates points his intelligence is obvious. He certainly has less wisdom than Cheney as it seems that he is unable to apply his intelligence in a practical manner.
 
Actual intelligence with real world application- my guess would be Cheney.

OK. Here's a real mind bender for you:

Dershowitz or Cheney?

Hmmmm, that would take me more time for consideration. Dershowitz is probably more intelligence wrt IQ. I'd probably still consider Cheney more intelligent wrt real life.
 
Smarter in what way? You didn't us any parameters in which to judge them...

I'll go with - Other

Dick Cheney is dumb as Dora and is responsible for not only the unnecessary loss of innocent Iraqi life, but the lives of young Americans as well. Misleading the people of the U.S. in that way is one of the dumbest moves in history.

same if he were white

that is merely demonstrating you are completely unable to understand what the term intelligence means.
using your criteria almost every president is "dumb" since they have all mislead the public in one way or another.
 
My dad can beat up your dad.

Being dumb would imply that Cheney didn't have the ability to reason out a correct course of action given the data he had and the end goals he wanted to achieve. Cheney is not dumb. He knew exactly what he was doing. You're going to have to a different adjective to describe why he got so many people needlessly killed. I might start with evil.

That's right. But that, to me is dumb.
 
Yep, Cheney is a macho guy



That's what you call a REAL ladies man!
 
Cheney has a better record of accomplishing his agenda. For whatever that's worth.

Hitler accomplished quite a bit. If he would have waited for the V2 to be perfected, he would have won WWII as well.

what is really stupid is trying to support your lame poll with arguments that have nothing to do with intelligence. from all your rants I can conclude that the real lack of intelligence was starting this thread without any intention to actually honestly debate it
 
Obama or Cheney?

Smart how?

Nature Smart? Musical Smart? Logical-Mathematical Smart? Existentially Smart? People Smart? Bodily-Kinesthetics Smart? Word Smart? Spatial/Dimensionally Smart? Self/Intraperonally Smart?

Or maybe

Street Smart?

Or how about "SPIN SMART?" or "DECEPTION SMART?" or "REDIRECTING ATTENTION OF ELECTORATE SMART?" or "INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST SMART"? <-------this line ;)

I personally believe that politicians at the highest level are mostly smart in the line directly above this one.

I don't think Obama or Cheney are anywhere near dumb.

I think that there are a lot of smart people in politics, but as shown by the list of different types of smart, I choose to believe smart politicians have those types of smart, which are more closely related to criminals who are geniuses and who have the intellectual talent or ability to manipulate and deceive - among other mental talents, which seem to allows them to function as a criminals.

I was reading an article the other day about the low arrest rates of criminals with an IQ over 137. I don't have a clue as to the IQ's of Cheney or Obama...but obviously they both exhibit elements of smartness.

Dunno, just my opinion.

After all that f'ing up, to be dumb enough to be furious over that is dumb on top of dumb.
