Actually ... intelligence is debatable (since it is the Teleprompter that provides the words .. hey, don't need much to just read) ..

But yes, Einstein was quite the Genius in stating something that was just .. COMMON SENSE .. in a very compact, witty way.

What does this quote have to do with Obama, or any other political topic for that matter?

Sure you could apply it to the political arena, but why?

Isn't it enough to simply look at a quote, read it, analyze it, come to a personal understanding of it, and apply it to our own personal lives without trying to make a political statement out of it?

It's a wonderful quote from a wonderful man. Could we try not to bastardize it?

Cheers.

Since we are on the topic of Obama here's another quote for the day:

"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."

Nikita Khrushchev
(1894-1971) Premier of the Soviet Union

What a silly way to try to put down the President. And it does not even really mean anything. I assume there is a point in there someplace, but I'll be damned if I can see what it is. The only 'simple' I'm seeing here is some of the responses, which I would definitely NOT describe as "intelligent", but only fool-ish.

I love this saying by Micheal Angelo. "We as humans are not in danger of setting our goals too high and not achieving the mark, but for setting our goals to low and hitting it." Also there is another saying " there are three types of people in the world, ones that are with you, ones that are against you, and ones that are really against you."
