George Clooney says Obama “is smarter than anybody you know.” Not so fast, Clooney. I know the self-made gazillionaire owner of an NFL team. And the CEO of a major international beverage company. And the worldwide marketing director for one of the world’s largest computer companies. And Bill Gates ex-girlfriend. And a guy who left Apple to start his own company and sold it a couple years later for $200 million. And the guy who created the “got milk” ad campaign. And the Administrator. I know the Administrator of IHateTheMedia.com, for god’s sake. They’re all really smart people and as far as I can tell, none of them have ever screwed up the world’s largest economy.

I used to be a fan of clooney. Him and anyone else who votes for nobama is being played for a fool. I feel sorry for every one of them because They are blind to the fact that nobama hates America, he hates white people and he will ruin our country more than he already has. Also, has anyone noticed that him and his wifey refuse to say the pledge of allegiance. He is no American.
Maybe smarter than anyone YOU know, George!
Obama is as smart as a rock and as sharp as a cue ball. Is that TRANSPARENT enough?
Obama is so smart, yet can't he even schedule a speech. He's just the latest Chicago doofus getting a beat down from the Packers. :)
Olivia darlin', academic achievement doesn't always translate into executive ability---which may explain the latest miserable jobs report and a 9.1% (actually much higher) unemployment rate.
We still don't know WHAT his academic achievement level is! It may be right in line with his competence!
Awwww. Olivia bypassed all the other derogatory posts to come and give me and me alone a thumbs down! I never knew (or cared) that you love me so, Ollie!
No, that was Fweetnes, Olivia doesn't thumb.
OH. I thought fweetness was YOUR stalker!
Fweetness stalks anyone who pulls the mask off of Olivia.
AHHHHH I see. Then I guess you're right. Though There WERE a lot of similar posts!
Fweetnes can't read very well, he mostly just looks at the pictures (avi's).
Her Feebleness has yet to figure out how we do that thumb thing. It's rather complicated.

I wouldn't count on that, I know some pretty smart shopping cart collectors at Wal-Mart.
I've got a box of rocks over here, that's smarter than Obama and Clooney put together. And they're NOT sharp rocks.
LOL! I hope you know I had Oblivia's ridiculous indictment of you in mind when I made the post about supposed "freeloaders".

I hear tell that the Unibomber is a pretty brainy guy as well. Should we give him a shot at being POTUS too? Someone should clue George Looney that "smart" and "capable" don't always go hand in hand.
And that uber smart frequently results in surprisingly INcapable!
there's "smart" but not to be confused with "crafty", "sneaky", "manipulative", etc etc etc! As for giving a crap what Looney Clooney and his Professional Pretender Posse think - they speak other people's words for a living, gain fame and fortune NOT being "themselves" and Georgy is a great example of why they're not paid to be themselves. I'm as big a fan of a well-written, well-acted play/movie/show as anyone, but somehow I manage to note when the play/movie/show is over and when Reality begins and not assume that A Celebrity is just s'dang wonderful.
If Obama is so brilliant why won't he show his transcripts? I'm thinking there are some very average grades on there. I think we would see C a bit. I'm also thinking we might see a class or two he doesn't want us to see like "Theory of "Marxism". My boycott of Clooney movies remains in place.
"Because he’s not legally required to, that’s why. The fact that the far right is nosy about his private life, and anxious to find juicy tidbits that they can manufacture a scandal about, in no way obligates him to surrender his right to privacy."
Olivia, when one runs for the highest PUBLIC elected office in the land, that person should be vetted thoroughly. A candidate absolutely surrenders his personal privacy or should. Of course, this particular individual was not scrutinized in the least but his protectors literally go through Sarah Palin's, who is a private citizen, trash. So, spare me the hypocrisy, Olivia, it grows tiresome.
Sidekick
Hypocrisy from Olivia, no way. Any person running for public office surrenders their right to privacy and all who run for office know this. However, if they no longer seek office, they revert back to being just a citizen. Therefore they are due their privacy and rights to it.
BTW, I've found a well executed hook kick does wonders :)
"BTW, I’ve found a well executed hook kick does wonders"
It sure does.
Just don't use a sidekick-you'll get picked up for exposing yourself.
only when Olivia is policing the scene...everyone else just sees a man doing a sidekick
So does a leg sweep and punch to the throat!

I'm always amused by people who claim to be for "small government," but at the same time want to restrict civil rights and liberties to selected individuals. Freedom that's restricted to people who look, worship and vote as you do isn't freedom at all.
No President has ever been legally required to fork over his history, including schools attended and college and post graduate grade transcripts. Yet every single one has revealed whatever history he had. More recently that included transcripts. You keep breaking your ankles running to defend him but that doesn't answer the question why he, of 44(?) Presidents has felt the need not only to not release that information, but has taken steps to legally seal it so NO ONE can ever see it. Maybe it shows super genius work, stellar references from professors, and grades into the stratosphere. But if it did, one would imagine he would be proud of that accomplishment and want his constituents to know. By hiding them, he gives a air of suspicion about WHY he is hiding them, and thoughts to the effect that there is nothing in them to be proud of, and possibly somethings that are definitely NOT pride producing.
My lady has had to show her transcripts on a number of occasions while applying for travel nursing positions. While I truly believe that having well qualified medical personnel is important, I think having a well qualified President is even more important to the country.
You never had any problem with doing that to W. Why is it ok toharrass him, but Obama is off limits? No double standard here!
Translation:
WAAAAHHH! Why won't you right wingers leave the "smartest President this week" alone and just accept that he doesn't lie.
Stop asking for documents that he can't produce, like transcripts and birth certificates!!
I have disliked Clooney ever since he almost destroyed the Batman movie franchise. He was the worst Batman ever and I will never forgive him for that. I liked Ocean's Eleven, but I would have liked it even more without him in it. I am tired of his mouth. He said he was going to keep quiet about politics, what happened to that? This boy is on my nerves, shut up you don't know what you are talking about.
I have seen pets that are smarter than Obamie okay? Obamie is not the smartest person I know. You trippin'.
George even your dad is no longer an Obama supporter. Just face the facts that all of you where fooled into believing in an empty suit and platitudes.
