More Evidence "Smart As a Whip" is Really "Dumb as a Post"

In this post I gave eight pieces of evidence that the "smart-as-a-whip" meme is just a fabricated chimera with no basis in fact, and that rather than possessing a towering intellect, Barack Obama displays a rather overt cluelessness indicative of a complete lack of basic sense and understanding. Sense and understanding, to my mind, are the foundation of higher cognitive pursuits - or "intellectualism" if you will. Without the foundation of common sense and basic understanding, any intellectual pretensions are are suspect. This, of course, is summed up in the Reagan quote about liberals.

Well, today we add evidentiary exhibit number 9: "Don't call my bluff." John Hinderaker explains.
