Recently, Dana Pico of Commonsense Political Thought and I traded posts on the subject of Obama's intelligence. Pico argued that ridiculing the intelligence of our political opponents is a bad idea. I agreed and added that intelligent people often lack the ability to apply logic, use poor judgment, lack honesty, are ignorant on the subjects they speak about or are out for power.
I was wrong. Barack Obama is actually a moron. I'm putting his IQ at about 70 after hearing Rush Limbaugh make fun of these remarks today: Obama Solves Energy Crisis: Inflate Your Tires
RUSH: You parents who have sent your kids or whose kids are at present in Ivy League schools, you might want to think about the education they're getting just by listening to Barack Obama, because he is a walking, talking example of the kind of education you come out of Harvard or any of these Ivy League schools. This is Obama yesterday at a campaign event in Springfield, Missouri.
OBAMA: We could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and -- and -- and getting regular tune-ups, you can actually save just as much.
RUSH: This is unbelievable. My friends, it's laughable, of course. But it's stupid! It is stupid. How many of you remember the seventies when we had these shortages, all through the Jimmy Carter years? We had all these tips, all these tips on how to save gasoline. Avoid jackrabbit starts, keep your tires properly inflated, and all that. There's a list about ten or 12 of these things. And I said, "If I follow each one of these things, I'll have to stop the car every five miles, siphon some fuel out for all the fuel I'm going to be saving here." Ridiculous. This is a presidential candidate, and he's talking about keeping your tires inflated and getting regular tune-ups? That would save as much oil as drilling would produce? This guy is the Democrat presidential nominee. Who has filled his head with this stuff?...By the way, contrast something. President Bush at a recent press conference, a Drive-By reporter, a new castrati, stood up, "Mr. President, Mr. President, are you going to advise the people to drive their cars less and to get smaller cars?" "No, I'm not going to do that, they're adults. They know what to do to save money. They know what to do to deal with this. I'm not going to tell people how to live their lives, they're adults." Contrast that with Obama. "Put the right amount of air in your tires and get tune-ups, and we will not have to drill for oil." Black and white difference, ladies and gentlemen, between the Democrats and the Republicans, and that's not a racist comment when I say black and white difference. Obama would think it is, you know, the Drive-Bys might.
Incidentally, tomorrow is Rush Limbaugh's 20th Anniversary Show, and I expect I'll be listening to it and blogging on it. If you are able to listen, this is one I wouldn't miss.
