News flash: Obama is a smart man. He tried his best to veil it, but Obama is an intellectual (”What America has succeeded in doing, against all the odds, and why we cried when it happened, is to elect the most intelligent, canny and imaginative candidate to the presidential office in modern times.”); Obama and the War on Brains (”The second most remarkable thing about his election is that American voters have just picked a president who is an open, out-of-the-closet, practicing intellectual.”); A public theologian (”Americans have elected the most theologically astute president since Jimmy Carter.”). Oh, and Obama’s going to reverse a bunch (200+) of Bush’s executive actions. Smart president = good thing.
