Obama a Puppet?

Is Obama a puppet?

There is more and more compelling evidence that may well be the case.  He continually shows he is an intellectual lightweight.  He remarked about the 57 states in the Union.  Any fifth grade student knows that isn't so.  He told us a few days ago that now is a good time to invest in the stock market.  The stock market is in a freefall.  He made a comment about the "profit to earnings ratio" the other day.  That ratio would always be 1.  Meaningless.   Any person minimally knowledgeable of investing knows what the "price to earnings ratio" is.  He knows not what he speaks of when he speaks off-the-cuff without a prepared script. 

So, who prepares the remarks he delivers so well with charm and the help of the teleprompter?  Emanuel? Axelrod?  Podesta?  Carvelle?  Are they the puppeteers pulling the strings?  Is he nothing more than a polished actor that can read and deliver a scripted speech with style and charm?
