I blogged earlier about
how smart Obama is (not very), linking to
Steve Sailer, who has been thinking about this sort of thing for quite some time. But beyond smartness is wisdom, or know-how, or just plain competence, for which a certain level of intelligence is necessary but not sufficient. Most every President we've had has at one time or another been in charge of something substantial in an executive position, be it a state (George Bush), the CIA (that other George Bush), the invasion of Europe (Eisenhower), the whole damn Union Army (Grant), a newspaper (Harding)... etc. Obama, in contrast, has never been in charge of anything, really, except for his own image, and he's had a lot of help with that. In fact, if you'll remember the 2008 campaign, people questioned this fact, and Obama supporters countered that he was in charge of his own campaign for President. And they expected that to be accepted as sufficient proof of his executive prowess. I guess it was enough for a lot of goofy voters.
Well, Steve is at it again, this time discussing Obama's competence rather than just his intelligence. In order to know what is meant by "volcano gods" in his blog post, you need to go back and read
his VDare article HERE. Then read
his piece HERE.
