Intelligence alone does not a president make.......

I keep hearing that Obama is an intellectual as an excuse for any and all problems when he falls down on his face. Do people really think so.???
Like the Chicago Mob in the 1930's he just climbed the ladder of politics on the coat tails of others that were more ruthless then him, those who saw a sucker they could use and benefit from.
He is not in any way a self made man, Movers and shakers keep their eye out for promising up and coming men and woman in the same way Colleges watch the High Schools for future athletes.
Lots of preening went into Obama, perhaps years of being the Golden Boy of the future.
As he got older shields went up around him, records were LOST, all his activity's down to who he married were Skillfully arranged. It would not do for him to marry or date a white woman, there was allways someone older and wiser to direct him on the path they wanted him to walk.
Obama, being no different from the normal male thrived on the attention, the flattering and YOU-DE-MAN, the false smiles and coming to believe everything he was told.
I have seen nothing in his speeches that appear to come from this great intellect of his.
I believe it is easier to manipulate him now then 20 years ago. He has become to believe his own press releases, Yet I believe he still allowes others to make his decisions so as he thinks, when things sour, not his fault.
Only now do I think he is realizing that the people he has surrounded himself with the people that he appointed as his advisers not because of any knowledge of them but because he was advised to do, is his Nemesis.
Advisers, some woman he never heard of is now chief cooker and bottle washer for the Anti-Terrorist arm of the government. What can he do he appointed her, over some General in the Pentagon to run things with knowledge and know how.
Look at all the rest of his appointees, how many does he know personally from the old days.?
Poor Obama, he had little chance to climb the ladder as most do, learn hard lessons on each step. Just taken up- 2 steps and bounced to the top with no idea what to do with out being advised to do.
I think it was Machelle that let the cat out of the bag when she announced that for the first time in her life she was proud of America. Holy Crap Barry, put a muzzle on your wife. What country if not America is she proud of.??
This week when Obama has his State of the Union Speech, and some say he insists on writing his own speech, he will be sitting at his desk trying to figure out what to tell or not tell the American Public.
Knock on the door in in come 5 men, proof readers and editors to HELP HIM.
He may recognise one or two but the other 3 are strangers. He has been told to TRUST these men, they are just there to insert commas or give stage directions. You know, at the word fight, put your fist in the air. Come to the podium with a bounce of confidence, look stern at this paragraph, give a chuckle and the upward glance kids do when caught at something, but smile at the same time.
The next few years are going too be a nightmare for him, he lacks the self confidence to move on his own, perhaps he cannot move move on his own because of those pushing him down the path they want him to go.
Time will tell, when he places his horse in the Senate and places Poor Nancy in a brothel , then I will know History is repeating itself.
