Sarah Palin has rightfully criticized the Obama as spending too much time lecturing and too little time listening. Recently, Charles Krauthammer wrote a great column about the Obama's tendency to talk down to the American public as though we were some sort of ignorant hayseeds. It has become fashionable for the left to elevate liberal lawyers to the status of Intellectual gods. Note that I say liberal lawyers. Certainly when it comes to intellectual power, Justice Roberts, Justice Scalia and Justice Alito are far and away superior to the Obama and everyone in his White House club, but they never get the liberal nod to the ascendancy of god status. No, that honor is relegated to the left's hack lawyers and judges - think Sotomayor.
Even I consider myself to be intellectually superior to the Obama. I may not understand socialist theory as well as he does but on nearly every other subject I have bested him in every way. I have a far better education as a physicist - and not a theorist, but as an actual experimentalist - and I understand the futility of continuing down dead end paths when the data clearly show that a theory is wrong. This is something that the Obama does not understand. Despite decades of data that have proven that his pet socialist theories are wrong and don't work he continues to try and implement them. So, when he is in front of a camera somewhere and every day he is, and he is lecturing us, one only has to think of snake oil salesmen to understand where he is going and attempting to take America.
