That America hasn't seen his dangerous World View regarding anti- neo-colonialism has left me wondering:

Has the National IQ fallen that seriously that it would elect this man in the first place in 2008, and then to do it again in 2012?

the Manchurian Islamic candidate becomes president, and is working on defeating ISIS but it takes time...

In a brilliant opinion piece in the New York Post a couple of weeks ago, Michael Goodwin called for President Obama to start leading or resign.
Here are some of Goodwin's observations:

"President Obama has spent the last seven years trying to avoid the world as it is. He has put his intellect and rhetorical skills into the dishonorable service of assigning blame and fudging failure. If nuances were bombs, the Islamic State would have been destroyed years ago.

He refuses to say “Islamic terrorism,” as if that would offend the peaceful Muslims who make up the vast bulk of victims. He rejects the word “war,” even as jihadists carry out bloodthirsty attacks against Americans and innocent peoples around the world.

He shuns the mantle of global leadership that comes with the Oval Office, with an aide advancing the preposterous concept that Obama is “leading from behind.” He snubs important partners like Egypt, showers concessions on the apocalyptic mullahs of Iran, and called the Islamic State the “jayvee team” even as it was beginning to create a caliphate.

Having long ago identified American power as a problem, he continues to slash the military as the enemy expands its reach. In a globalized era, the Obama doctrine smacks of cowardly retreat and fanciful isolation.

In an accident of timing that captures his cluelessness, the president actually declared on Friday morning that the Islamic State had been “contained,” practically boasting in a TV interview that “They have not gained ground in Iraq and in Syria.”

What gall. What folly."

With the caliber of candidates available...what could you expect?

Would even a "genius" IQ find a suitable candidate in the upcoming presidential election?

The public has spoken. And the Republicans on this forum STILL can't get over it. It's quite pathetic. Maybe it's the case that their candidates are the ones lacking in IQ. I mean, you can't get any worse than BUSH. Oh wait, you can.

As the welfare state grows larger and larger (from GWB's RX's drug bill to ObamaCare), Dems become more and more entrenched in power. I don't think any Republican on this forum denies this reality. Congratulations for increasing government dependency.

Well said.
I don't think that Democrats would deny that reality either.

All you need to do is field a candidate that isn't a HALF WIT. Then the public will certainly see it your way. Who wouldn't want to share a viewpoint with the old, fat, WHINEY, and narrow minded?

Hillary and Bernie Sanders are young? Hillary and Bernie Sanders are thin?
Hillary doesn't whine? Liberals are open-mined? Absolutely, if you agree with their world view.

In any case, you didn't refute my main point about government dependence. I'm shocked.

Spot on.

Warren Buffett once said (paraphrase) you should try to invest in companies that are so well positioned, even an idiot can't screw it up...because eventually an idiot will be put in charge.

He didn't put a time limit on that. We've had 16 years of idiocy and I think we are pretty close to screwing it up.

"He seems to dig in — and why I would suppose is because he thinks he's right. He is facing formidable opposition on this particular point."

This is exactly right.

The more passionately his opposition disagrees and the greater the consensus against him, the deeper he digs in and the more he enjoys going against what everyone wants. He literally enjoys it. You can see it in face and comments.

He's childlike in ways, but he's not even a very bright child.

He's petulant, petty and partisan. The very same qualities he is so contemptuous of in Republicans.

Yeah, he's really lacking in IQ. He graduated from Harvard with an MBA. Next to you, that would make him a phreaking genius.

Stick with Cruz. Bush was a legacy admit at Yale. That, along with his last name ensured the HBS admit, imo.

Bernie's not fat. And you should show some respect for a former first lady.
