Many comments on that 2015 Obama blog entry were chillingly correct.
Eg, Obama and his besties were not going away in 2017.

Well, wow. It’s Disturbing that that type of dark ambition pays off.
I never could watch the Godfather film.
What I knew of the cruel characters seems just too close to certain family members.

I am quite confident that I’m correct when I say that Obama is smart. Is he brilliant in the intellectual sense? No. But he’s definitely smart. His off-the-cuff answers are of course not as smooth as his scripted speeches, but I’ve not heard anything he’s ever said off-the-cuff that doesn’t exhibit basic intelligence that is certainly above-average and that I’d characterize as smart. His special gift is campaign strategy and self-promotion.

See this post for more on the subject.

Joey and Chameleon are window dressing.

“Watching him at this year’s DNC I was reminded what a gifted speaker he is.”
…
Is speaker the same as orator?
As in giving prepared speeches?
Then I see your point.
Other than speeches, Iike when he answered questions — reporters or interviews — I thought he was fairly poor on his feet. Tons of hemming & hahing. Drawing out a silly answer in an arrogant style like a bad professor, talking down to students knowing he wouldn’t be challenged.
I found it quite annoying, & never considered that a sign of a smart person.
His fans said it was how a smart person has to work, on the fly choosing how to talk to a dumb audience — the common people.
I don’t believe that.
Also some here (not sure if you did Huxley) think Obama’s college resume means he’s pretty smart.
Really? I recall his people successfully hid all the proof!
We never saw grades,records,college papers, etc.
Just saw his likely ghost-written books.

His take is just like JohnTyler; she won’t be able to handle the debate pressure and deal with Trump’s attacks. I hope he’s wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I wonder if the Ds have calculated the scenarios of her debating vs her backing out and looking like a coward even if they can somehow pin her backing out on Trump being unreasonable.

But when a politician, esp, the VP and perhaps the next president offers this up when asked to sum up the Ukraine / Russia conflict;

“So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.”

“It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”

Sorry, but only a moron, or a child, would describe the Ukraine/Russia mess, like she described it . Not only is the “CACKLER” over her head but frankly she is just dumb and stupid.
She is consistent in her word salad statements or just plain stupid statements. She is incapable of displaying any sort of serious thinking about anything.

The only mystery , IMHO, is how on earth she passed the bar exam.
Did she have an “imposter” take the test in her place??

As for her election victories in California; when the real big money, the media and the party elites get behind someone – in the Cackler’s case, promoted by Willie Brown – it’s all over folks; that individual will get elected. In Ca, it’s next to impossible, if not impossible, for any republican to win.

Sorry, but the Cackler is a moron.

neo is a fan of that musical and saw the original, Broadway production. (… and I agree with your analogy.)
