George Clooney: Obama Is Smarter Than Anybody You Know
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 31, 2011, 6:00 PM
Obama may have lost independents and women, but he hasn’t lost the far left numskulls in Hollywood.
Story Balloon reported this from The Telegraph:
The Hollywood actor campaigned for Obama during the last election and speaks up regularly on political issues, leading some to posit him as the Democrats’ answer to Ronald Reagan.
However, at the Venice Film Festival he shot down the ‘Clooney for President’ rumours once and for all.
“As for me running for President – look, there’s a guy in office who is smarter than anybody you know, and nicer, and he’s having an almost impossible time governing.
“Why would anyone volunteer for that job? I have a very good job. So I have no interest,” he said.

PMSL! Somebody best send the emergency crew round to rescue me from the floor! ANYBODY who at 50 or so years of age publicly gives his “opponents” the finger in the way IWonWTF is so very prone to do is not by ANY stretch of the imagination “nice.” And I see no signs whatever of “intelligence” other than “full of himself.” He’s an affirmative action product, not a genius.

George, George, put the pipe down man…Crack and your brain on crack is not appealing.

How the fvck would George Libtard know what “smart” is?
What evidence is there of Obama being smart.

Isn’t Clowney directing a propaganda film for Odumba ?

An idiot like Clooney is now a judge of intelligence? Clooney probably doesn’t know more than a handful of people that Don’t have 2 digit IQ’s
Nana commented:
George has been drinking a lot lately. At least my dog knows how many states in the union.

Smart? Okay, let’s see his college grades. Oh, wait……

Clowney was speaking to a bunch of clueless idiots , who only know other clueless idiots .

First the Left denutted Hollywood males like Clooney…then they successfully removed their brains.
Ask Tony Rezko how “nice” good old Sheik Obama is.
dnb commented:
“look, there’s a guy in office who is smarter than anybody you know, and nicer,” That would be smarter and nicer than anyone YOU know, George. The rest of us know plenty of smarter and nicer people. Too bad for you.
Warthog commented:
… who is smarter than anybody you know, …
No, George. He’s smarter than anybody you know.
gus commented:
What’s NICE about him Clueless George??
gus commented:
Is ‘nice” Hollywood code for Gay??
Anna commented:
Didn’t George get his hollywood start playing some kind of dorkey dumb*ss on “Facts of Life” or one of those high end intellectual shows in the 80′s? I’m pretty sure his aunt was Rosemary Clooney so maybe after he explains to us how intelligent Barry is, he’ll belt out a showtune…and know all the words!
#1AMERICAN commented:
another hollywood dip $hit….
BS-meter commented:
Off-teleprompter he is known as Uh-bama. That should settle the “smart’ claim.
As for for George Clooney, (the ‘C’ is actually silent, you know) he and his contemporaries all have room-temperature IQ’s, so how would he know?
When you’re a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. When you’re a congenital idiot, EVERYBODY else looks like a genius.

I might agree that Obama is smarter than Clooney

George who?
tommy mc donnell commented:
as truman capote once said “actors are not too bright.”
dwd commented:
Why does everyone keep repeating the “Obama is so smart” line?
Where is the EVIDENCE of that? Listing off the schools one has attended is NOT evidence of intelligence.
Let’s see the GRADES. Grades are quantifiable measurements of achievement.
Why hide them? Are they really as bad as his recently released, error-full letter in the Harvard newspaper would imply?

Well, they’re stepping over the line now. To prove Barry’s superior brain they just had him do an intro on Jeopardy, for, (get ready for this) “teachers week”! I’d like to see him play one time, he’d probably run the category on “The History of Chicago Corruption, and How I Benefitted”.

LOL, AuntieMadder (#33) – Why on earth would Jim creep into that bunghole for a story?
Joe Blow commented:
The easiest way to make the left wing actors irrelevant is to stop buying, stop renting and stop going to see their movies. I have started my own little campaign vowing to not give them any of my money. I don’t see many movies these days since so many actors are nut cases and so far left, but to me my own war on their stupidity is worth it. If millions of the conservatives quit supporting the liberal actors maybe they wouldn’t have such pull in the media or the public. Why does the media and the public think their “upity” thoughts are the gospel and more important than anyone else. Clearly they are not.

Sorry George- Obama is nasty. If he’d release his college info then we’d know what courses he took and how he did. All these docs are hidden for a reason..either he did not have the coourses or he flunked. Otherwise they’d be out there. So do what you can with your friend obama to have him tell us what his proofs are.
Read “The Five Insulting Gestures of Obama” by Paul Rahe of Hillsdale College. It is prob over at Powerlineblog.com
Both Hillary and M’Cain got the finger from ‘nice guy’ Obama. IT was away from the 2 candidates vision so everyone in the audience laughed at the gesture and the 2 candidates could not see what he was doing. Nice guy huh?

“As for me running for President – look, there’s a guy in office who is smarter than anybody you know, and nicer, and he’s having an almost impossible time governing.
So prove it by releasing transcripts and scores.
Which is as irrelevant as George’s claim. Handsome is as handsome does. If Obama is so smart, why is the country in such a mess?
Oh, I forgot.
Dubya’s fault.
Tea Party’s fault.
Republicans’ fault.
Arab Spring’s the fault.
Japan earthquake’s the fault.
England riots’ the fault.
Not to mention that the dog ate his homework.

Clooney to English dictionary:
“smarter” = “least qualified person in any room”
“nicer” = “thin skinned with a strong vindictive streak”
“governing” = “dictating like a 1930s tyrant”
Hopefully this will help people better understand Mr. Clooney.

A recommendation from a guy who can’t go through the day without reading someone’s else words written down for him. No wonder actors and broadcasters love Obama. They recognize how difficult a job it is to read off a teleprompter.
Way to lower the bar Clueless Clooney. Now it’s so low a snake can get over it.
SpideyTerry commented:
“look, there’s a guy in office who is smarter than anybody you know”
The dirt on my shoe is smarter than that idiot.
“and nicer”
As evidenced by “I won” and his hissyfits when he doesn’t get his way.
“and he’s having an almost impossible time governing.”
Wouldn’t he actually have to be trying to govern to have an ‘almost impossible time’ of it?

SLAVERY TODAY
[Almost 200 years after the British outlawed the slave trade in 1807, slave raids and the sale of slaves in Muslim markets continues in countries like Sudan. The slave trade remained legal in Saudi Arabia until 1962, when under international pressure it was finally abolished. However, there are persistent, credible reports, that slavery persists in Saudi Arabia, and even that slaves from Sudan are ending up in Saudi Arabia.
Recently, a former slave from the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, Mende Nazer, had her autobiography: "Slave: My True Story" published. Mende was captured in 1992, she was first a slave to a rich Arab family in Khartoum, and then in 2002 to a Sudanese diplomat in London, from whom she escaped and sought political asylum.]
Obama knows none of the above, not to mention any of the
following, neither does AmbASSador to the Sudan George &
his fellow travelers../sarc/
THE AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE
[It is extraordinary that, considering that less than 5% of all the Trans Atlantic slaves ended up in North America, the vast majority of films, books and articles concerning the slave trade concentrate only on the American involvement in the slave trade, as though slavery was a uniquely American aberration. However, the vastly greater involvement of Portugal, Spain and France seem to be largely ignored. Even more so the far greater and longer running Islamic slave trade into the Middle East has been so ignored as to make it one of history's best-kept secrets.
We tend to focus on what happened in North America because the
United States would eventually fight a war, in part over slavery, and
because of the enormous and vocal American opposition to slavery.
This was in sharp contrast to the indifference that Muslims, Africans
and many Europeans evidenced towards it.]

Tell me, how he is so nice. Is he nice when a business gets immediately shut down by one of a hundred government agency goons, if they don’t contribute to the Democrat Party or play ball with the Union? Is he nice when he tells his people to get into the faces of those who have opposing view points?
Tell me, was he so smart when he couldn’t get an umbrella through a gate?
SCOAMF, look it up George, when you’re not too busy doing lines of coke with your buddy Obama.

AuntieMadder commented:
@ #38 Redwine: I don’t know but I’m glad he did. Clooney’s latest remark about the greatness of Barky’s intelligence indicates to me that at least some of the Hollywood crowd that campaigned for him in 2008 will do it again (a rerun?) in 2012. That is, if the DNC runs Barky in 2012, which I still have some doubts about.

Valerie commented:
Hmmm. George’s guess about Obama’s is intelligence is higher than what I would guess. But, George and I agree that Obama isn’t doing such a great job.
Perhaps we could agree that Obama’s temper simply does not fit the times, and so we should look to another leader as President for the next 4 years. We would then be free to select somebody with the right kind of experience, perhaps a governor (actual governing experience would be a plus) from a border state (experience with immigration issues) with a Constitutionally-required balanced budget (another issue), and lots of illegal aliens (another issue) that is handling the employment problem well (experience with some good solutions.
How ’bout it, George?

Hey, George Clooney has no interest in being president. We can all relax.
After having such a smart president, it would be ashame to replace him with a pretty-boy dope. (Only a dope would think that Obama is smart.)

They are DELUDED. In the case of NOT SO-CURIOUS GEORGE CLOOONATIC. Georgie, LOVES being PART OF THE “SCENE”. In other words. Georgie, is one of the ELITE, BEAUTIFUL PEEEEEEPS, and that is where he INTENDS to stay.

I agree with truthteller. I have known some *amazingly* smart people in my time, and Obama doesn’t strike me as anything close to super-intelligent. My IQ is 138. I am reasonably smart (though nowhere near genius), and I don’t see Obama as especially intelligent. I just don’t buy it. If he were, why cover up his grades? I would show my grades, even though I have some bad or indifferent grades mixed in with the good ones.

Hmmmmmm….. Go figure…. I wouldn’t walk the 600 yards to my mailbox to see George Clueless run over by a sixteen wheeler much less drive into town to watch one of his lame films! Sorry George… I’ve read the letter Obama wrote for the Law Review and the man can’t even get his tenses to match in the sentences he wrote. Smart? As a political hack able to fool the stupid… perhaps…. brilliant? Questionable but I guess that’s why his grandmother called him sonny because he’s so bright! The photos of Obammy sucking on a reefer testify to just how smart he is. If I were responsible for creating that narcissistic nasty Obamanation I guess I would just have to slit my wrists and wait for better times to catch up with me.

I think that has to be, if not the most asinine comment ever spoken by a human being, really one of the top ten. How does he know who knows who?

Baycenterbabe commented:
And I used to think George Clooney was hot! What an eye-opener! Obama had a good education but as far as I can tell he didn’t make good grades at the University level – even though he had connections for a low-cost education that most ‘Americans’ don’t have. He postures himself as highly ‘intelligent’ but who could not see through this illusion? Maybe the correct word to describe him is ‘crafty’ or ‘deceptive’. He may even be somewhat charismatic to have fooled so many of the people so often in so many ways!
