Ya gotta hand it to Leftists' ability to do intellectual gymnastics.  Without the least bit of hesitation, they continue to state that Obama is one of the smartest politicians ever, if not one of the smartest human beings in all history, while in complete confidence, they continue to state that Sarah Palin is clearly one of the dumbest people on the planet.  

The fact is that Obama is more credentialed that Palin.  But credentials do not equal intelligence to anyone but a Leftist.  His intellectual boundaries were set by Leftists anywhere from 100 years ago to 40 years ago.  There isn't a new, exciting thought rattling around in Obama's head anywhere; and his political curiosity is moribund.  Sarah Palin has explored new political ideas at a pace that would simply confuse the boy president we now have in the Oval office.  Yes, she has a simple undergraduate degree from a simple state college; but not one of her policies while she was in the governor's office in Alaska was as simple-minded or politically aged as every single one of Obama's policies.  Intellectually, they aren't even in the same league.  Which is about the only thing that a Leftist and I would agree upon concerning the vapid, boring, unattached, intellectually lazy poser we have in the Oval Office, and the ex-governor from Alaska.
