Because I am always curious I looked up the definition of Intellectual - an adjective that is frequently applied to the Obama - the Merrium-Webster Dictionary online:
Intellectual: 1 a: of or relating to the intellect or its use b: developed or chiefly guided by the intellect rather than by emotion or experience : rational
I have no doubt that Obama is intelligent - well at least he is educated, I can't really comment on his intelligence but I have a problem with the definition as applied to the Obama - the part that says "chiefly guided by the intellect rather than by emotion or experience." Well, certainly the experience part applies because he has none, but the emotion part? Hummm. Being a emotional is the very definition of the liberal, and Obama epitomizes the definition of liberal. So, I have to conclude that the term Intellectual only partly applies to the Obama - No experience and we will leave the debate about his intelligence to another day.
