For gods sake, he WAS using the concepts, that isn't the issue....the issue is that YOU do not understand the concept underlying all of it.

I already posted twice the basic concept and it went right by you. Next you tell me you want nothing to do with it....and then you say you want a separate thread to debate it.

Ignorance, misunderstanding and contradiction....ffs.

if you insist.. I have no clue what tangent you are on.. talk about lack of focus..

my only point is if you want to sit around a blowhard that "I dont get Alinsky".. then make a thread on it.. you seem to be half baked on merging that into the thread.. I GET ALINSKY.. OH I DO.. my point was Obama is a weak minded radical follower who tought it aka a dope, moron, anti american idiot.. something that seemed you didnt know about your hero Ozero..

I have seen NO evidence that you understand the basic concepts. It is not radical, it shares ideas with christain liberation theology, Thomas Paine...
It is a primer for organizing the downtrodden in an modern urban setting. You don't get it, all you get is that it has "radical" in the title.

Because someone followed or taught it doesn't make them a "dope". "Dopes" are those who refuse to understand the concepts within it.

why don't you pick up a copy of my book, "how to argue with an idiot"? step one, when baseless point is made, call person who made it out on it....step two ask person to substantiate said claim with actual proof.... step 3, watch person who made baseless claim avoid you in thread, even after repeated calls for proof.....step 4, watch person who made claim attempt to run away from own words, or make an attempt to change subject, or attempt to divert . step 5....watch person who made claim disapear , leaving it to friends to defend their assinine comment.....

You are right but unfortunately for Obama he now has a record that will be on the ballot in 2012 and it is a record of economic failure.

I disagree with this, but that's a topic for another thread. Obama's success or failure in regards to the economy isn't what's being discussed. His intelligence is.

Youre right.. thats why Romney will be elected.. so things can get better..

You really need to stop drinking the kool aid Travis. If Romney gets elected, nothing will meaningfully change about day to day life in America. Nothing changed significantly when Obama took over from Bush. Romney isn't going to come charging in and implement every policy that the Republican party wants. A few minor things will change and that will be about it.

its intertwined... his lack of intelligence ( real world) is whats driving us into the abyss.. so one could argue his policies are horrible and that he wont change ( idealogue) is showing his lack of intelligence..that Obama is a weak minded follower of the radicals he followed..

I think everyone thought that. Who knew the economy was going to crash just months or weeks before the election?

Obviously it could mean about 100 different things. Probably the most reasonable interpretation would be -- end the recession (check), make a good start bringing down unemployment (check), save the domestic auto industry (check), and stabilize the markets (check).

LOL So did I. It was train wreck waiting to happen. But it would be extremely naive to think that just two people from one party were the cause.

"Obviously" it meant "done," as in, recovered. That's the only "reasonable" interpretation of it, your water-carrying notwithstanding.

His so called intelligence is on full display by the people that support him and the economic results he has generated. The "smartest man" ever to hold the office has sealed college records and with a Democrat Congress has generated the results which have him below 50% JAR and 23 million unemployed/under employed Americans along with 5.2 trillion added to the debt. That doesn't show an intelligent individual.
 
Re: Will Obama's lack of intelligence hurt him in the election

Obama is clueless, blame his teleprompter guru; it was shorter than "Nazi concentration camps in Poland". There is no great wizard Obama, look behind the teleprompter curtain.

Still waiting for proof of a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit in January 2009 when Bush left office? With regard to all those "excellent" results please explain why the Obama JAR is below 50% if he has done as good of a job as you believe?

Its only because Republicans have obstructed him from doing what he and the Dems really wanted to do.

Take a civics class and get back to me. You have a very short memory, Democrats controlled the Congress from 2007-2011. Some of the first two years Democrats had a fillibuster proof Senate

What are you talking about? It's about recovery post-crash. Why would anyone be thinking about recovery before the crash?

Obviously since we don't know what "this" referred to, exactly, we can't know what "done" means, exactly -- your partisan hackery notwithstanding.

He made the statement when the economy was still in freefall. Again, it seems pretty obvious that he was talking about stopping the freefall. He never claimed that the economy would be fully recovered by the end of his first term.

What exactly did Obama do to stop the so called free fall? Since Obama stated that "shovel ready jobs weren't so shovel ready" I cannot wait to find out what he did that stopped the "free fall" and led to the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depresssion?
