Obama: Clarence Thomas Is Just Too Dumb

I realize everyone is focusing on Obama's "exp..." gaffe tonight with Rick Warren. But look for something else in this brief clip via Hot Air. It seems fairly obvious to me that what Obama actually did, whether he intended to, or not, is imply that Clarence Thomas is simply dumb.

At the end of the clip he cites Scalia as something of an anti-Thomas with whom he disagrees. And what Scalia factor does he suggest makes the difference? His intelligence.

On Thomas: "I don't think he was a strong enough jurist, or legal thinker."

On Scalia: ... although I don't think there's any doubt about his intellectual brilliance."

I wonder if Obama thinks all black people are dumb? Based upon previous Jesse Jackson comments, Jackson pretty much suggested he does when he accused Obama of talking down to blacks.

"On Scalia: ... although I don't think there's any doubt about his intellectual brilliance.""

Sorry but unless you want to murder 40 million babies you're not qualified!

I had a very hard time getting through his latest abuse of the word "uh", the count must be in the dozens if not over a 100. I can't believe that with his 300+ advisers they don't get this guy a "uh" speech coach!

I liked that McCain had no problem naming the SCOTUS leftists he wouldn't have nominated.

I wish the guy had asked "hey Barry tell us about your church"

I can't believe Barry's handlers let him do a non-scripted event. He got his ass handed to him on a platter.

This guy needs to keep laying low and wait for the Soro's funded slime campign that's coming in the last 60 days before the election. They may have to start earlier than the script so we may just see it in the next couple of weeks with some help from his partners in the MSM.

Wait until next weeks polls come out. You are starting to see Barry for the empty suit he is.

If this guy doesn't pick Hillary for VP he's toast!

This is just starting to get good!

Clarence Thomas IS dumb.

Why did McCain come off as arogant and elitist? Why did he repeat stories he has told many hundreds of times before, playing to the crowd, instead of having a personal conversation about faith? Didn't he look old?

Hey look folks, for a guy who doesn't know who Jerome Corsi is Dan sure seems to have gone to school on his method of innuendo...

Obama , like other Dem nominees of the past, must run from the extreme left to win the party nomination then make an awkward jerk center-right for the general election. It was clear during this forum that Obama was trying to take both sides of every issue once again. McCain looked decisive .

Thomas not qualified? How about not liberal enough to be a real black?

Oh and by the way, which aspect of being a community organizer equates to dealing with the netional economy and world terrorists pent on total destruction of the US and western civilization?

Let Barack go to Iran, Syria, Cuba and the Palistenian territories for 5 years and organize their democratic voter registration process, then he can run for president.

A demogougue is a guy who says things he knows aren't true to people he thinks are idiots.

This is right out of the Democratic playbook. A few years ago Harry Reid insulted his intelligence on Meet The Press. He then called Scalia "one smart guy". Man do they hate Clarence Thomas.
