Have any examples? I'll bet I can come up with just as many or more Obama lines (off the prompter) as you can about Bush. I think many people think Bush is dumb because of his accent and tone. Obama is great at changing his accent to fit the crowd he's pandering to.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Just like the way SNL turned Gerald Ford, athlete, into a stumbler based on just one short film clip.
Selective memory?
Several times when Ford was playing golf, he hit the ball into the gallery of spectators—once hitting a lady on the head. While playing doubles in tennis, he hit his partner on the head with the ball. All of these incidents were caught on camera.
But I think he is the only president to fall down the steps of Air Force One.

Just like with Obama, I don't think he's any smarter than the average Joe who graduated from college degree. And for the record, I don't think you have to go to college to be smart either... common sense is not a college course.

Critical thinking skills are one of the things you learn in college.
I've never met anyone who said, "Man, I wished I hadn't gone to college."
Who said I didn't go to college smartass? I paid my own way bartending for 6 years and got a BA in finance. But it wasn't journalism so I must be an idiot. My point is that some of the smartest people who ever walked the planet never went to college.
