Anti-Obama Facebook page makes claim that Sarah Palin is ten times smarter than the President. Website takes about fifteen minutes to completely refute that claim.

So there exists in the world a Facebook page with the fairly ridiculous name "Barack Obama's Dead Fly."  Which I kind of think refers to this famous moment.

Kind of seems like a strange thing for an anti-Obama page to call themselves since that was totally cool.

Anyhow leaving that aside they recently posted a link to a blog weighing in on the kerfuffle between Bill O'Reilly and Palin while also claiming that Palin was right about something, and then the Facebook page owner also added this tidbit:

Take any cheap shot against Sarah Palin that you want to but in the end, she is more of a true Conservative with our core values than many out there who claim the title of Conservative Republican. Not to mention the fact she is 10 times more intelligent than Barack Obama (HL)

I know right? I mean that is so ridiculous that most of us would not even bother refuting and it, and instead focus on trying to combat a case of the giggles.

However there was one blog that simply could not allow that to stand unchallenged and so he quickly wrote up a comparison for those people out there who may have been living in a cave for the last six or seven years.

Education 

President Obama: 

  • Occidental College – 1981-1983 
  • Columbia University – 1984-1985 – B.A. Political Science 
  • Harvard University – 1988-1991 – J.D. Magna Cum Laude 
  • Editor and first black president of the Harvard Law Review, professor Lawrence Tribe, said of Obama: “He wanted to make a difference. He wanted to learn how the system worked.” 

Sarah Palin: 

  • University Of Hawaii – 1982 – One semester 
  • Hawaii Pacific University – 1982 – One semester 
  • North Idaho College- 1983 – Spring and fall semesters 
  • University of Idaho – 1984 – One academic year 
  • Matanuska-Susitna College – One semester 
  • University of Idaho (again) – 1986 – B.S. Journalism 
  • After five years of bouncing around and making no significant impact on anyone, with the exception of a classmate she once prayed for, a North Idaho College instructor discovered by accident he had taught Palin in a government class after checking his gradebooks. Nobody else seems to care. 

Resume 

President Obama: 

  • Political organizer in Chicago from 1985-1988 
  • Civil rights attorney 
  • Taught constitutional law, University of Chicago from 1992 to 2004 
  • 3-term Illinois State Senator from 1997-2004 
  • 1-term United States Senator, (D-IL) from 2005 to 2008 
  • 2-term President of the United States from 2009 to present 

Sarah Palin: 

  • Sportscaster for KTUU TV Anchorage 
  • Helped her husband with his fishing business for a while 
  • Wasilla, Alaska City Council, 1992 
  • 2-term Mayor of Wasilla, 1998-2002 
  • Lost a bunch of races, came in second for some nominations 
  • Appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 
  • Governor of Alaska from 2006-2008 
  • Made herself a laughing-stock as Republican Vice-Presidential nominee in 2008 
  • While her time as Governor of Alaska was a fiscal disaster for everyone who earned less than $300,000 a year, she gained valuable foreign policy experience because an island off the coast had a view of Russia on clear days.

There is also a comparison of quotes, but since most of us already know them by heart I will  not bother posting them here.

You know one could be excuses for simply not taking this seriously and simply ignoring comments on an anti-Obama Facebook page, but then we have to remember that there is an ever shrinking demographic in the country whose ability to reason is so retarded that they actually might consider the possibility that Palin is indeed smarter, more capable, or more experienced than the rather amazing President Barack Obama.

And it is for those sad sorry excuses for humanity that I share this article. 

You never know, perhaps somebody will offer to help them with the hard words.
