In the rear view mirror, the liberal view in the 1950s of the “intellectual” Adlai Stevenson and the dumb but affable Ike appears to be but a mirage of reality.

“An intellectual is a man who takes more words than is necessary to tell more than he knows.”

Beautiful, just beautiful. And Obama has just 17% of his advisors with private industry experience, an all time low by a wide margin. What could go wrong?.

As Ike said… “An intellectual is a man who takes more words than is necessary to tell more than he knows.”

Maybe Barry can learn something from another one of Ike’s pearls of wisdom… “I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.”
