Gallup tracking poll puts Obama approval and disapproval at 47%

You are probably right, he is not stupid, but that does not mean he is competent. Take School district administrators. I have taught for almost 30 years in several districts and rubbed elbows as a union negotiator with them. They all usually have PHD’s and Master degrees. No one can argue they are not smart. They have the lamb skin to prove it, yet they can make a janitor look like a genius with what they know about teaching children in the classrooms of their district. I saw the light on my community organizing many years ago I have lost count of the number of times I had to kill their brain farts before they did damage, and when I failed it hurt the teachers and the students.
Obama has had a good education; we think anyway. We know he got a bachelors degree and it seems that he barely got that, and we know he went to Harvard and somehow he managed to get to the top of his class, but we nothing of his grades or what he took. We know he was president of the Harvard Law Review, but unlike those before him who wrote tons of opinion and reviews, he wrote one memo. We know he taught Constitutional law, but he seems to know almost nothing about it. We know that his professorship required that he publish often, yet he published nothing and yet he was given tenure. We know that he was hired by two law firms but did not stay with either for very long. He wrote two books but did he write the second one or did a devout socialist, Bill Ayers, write the second one. He has told us as much that he did. As with school administrators with their degrees and often demonstrated yet incompetency, he may be smart, but not capable of being competent. His actions speak for him in that regard.
As for being a Marxist, how could he not be? You could say it is not even his fault that he is as he is; that he sees the world through eyes that are not his.
His mother was a radical, raised by parents that were far left socialist if not by a fine line; communist. Obama’s father walked out of his life the moment his feet hit the tarmac when he landed in Hawaii. He had a year or two as a normal child, free to be himself but that did not last. His mother married a Muslim who probably was a good father to him, but he did insist that his stepson be raised as Muslim and with that his life was guided by religion. For whatever reason, perhaps because the grandparents saw hope in making him the one hope that could lead America to be what they dreamed it would one day be, they took him to raise while his sister continued to live with their mother and her father. Obama could hardly escape the guiding of his young mind in socialist principals. At the age of nine, he was given a mentor, Frank Davis, a Moscow appointed communist leader of the Communist Party USA. Frank Davis implanted his ideas and perceptions into Obama into his late teens. He has spent his life afterwards surrounded by socialist and communist. It is no surprise at how many of his advisors and Czars follow him in his beliefs.
If there are still doubts about where his beliefs lie, compare his campaign platform to the Communist Party USA platform. They are almost identical. Compare them both to his polices and goals of his presidency. If you really want to know what he is doing, find a copy of the 1997 communist parties USA platform and goals. It is scary at how close they are to achieving those goals.

We did not give Obama his presidency. It was given to him to do one thing, get a nationalized healthcare law in place. Once that is done, the socialist can reach and control every aspect of Americans lives. Once he has done that, what he does afterwards is not important.
