Now people are starting to say Obama is dumb when it comes to finances
I just saw some TYT vids and Cenk implied that Obama is a moron when it comes to finances. This is clearly going to be the next wave of attack when things tank again.

1. The ironic part is everyone pushing that idea are actually far less intelligent
than our President.

5. i doubt it
that doesn't sound like Cenk at all. I've heard him say a lot about Obama but I've never heard him say he was dumb.

8. He made a point to say some people are brilliant at certain things and dumb at others. Go to the TYT
youtube channel. IT the vid about Obama and Geithner's man crush. Their words, not mine.

11. Coffee Joe, Is that you? Cause I don't know what we'd do without you!
Edited on Tue May-25-10 02:53 PM by FrenchieCat
"People" say African-Americans are inferior.....even when they have advanced degrees.

Did you know that?

In fact, "people" think that what's important is what family you are born into....
that this is what makes one smart.

Why don't you start that thread?

(there's a reason I don't watch or listen to Cenk....part of it being that he so fucking smart,
he's yet to land a television show after trying so hard! :eyes: )

13. Cenk did not say the POTUS was dumb
just the opposite. What he said was the relationship between Geithner and Obama has caused Obama to not force sweeping financial reform. At heart they're all technocrats and the system doesn't need restructuring. He doesn't want to do real change. Obama is not doing his homework and letting Summers, Geithner and Emanuel run and ruin his presidency. I agree. A quote from Jonathen Alter's book

"Obama grew slightly impatient when the conversation grew too technical or backward looking"

14. That's some accusation you're making....
We didn't elect a socialist, so no, he wasn't gonna to nationalize the banks.

So this...."Obama is not doing his homework and letting Summers, Geithner and Emanuel run and ruin his presidency." is a bunch of shit.

ELECT YOUR OWN FUCKING SOCIALIST PRESIDENT AND THEN GET HIM/HER TO MAKE THE REAL CHANGES YOU DEMAND, LIKE GETTING RID OF CAPITALISM!

what in the fuck is this? Did the Zoo leave a gate open? :shrug:

17. thanks so much
for putting words in my mouth. Who said anything about nationalizing a bank?? Most of us want real financial reform so my 401k and and pension fund might still be there when I need it. Stay in the dark. You sound like the teabaggers. Socialist? Damn your ignorant

21. Except that all indications are that the economy is improving better than expected.
So if this is "letting Summers, Geithner, and Emanuel ruin his presidency", I'm okay with that. Some people just can't admit when they're wrong, and the people perpetuating this meme are among them.
