Barry Explained

James (from England) a commenter at Don Surber's posted this link. It says a lot about the teleprompter reader in the White House.

Abstract
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.

So how does this fit Barry? He rated himself a solid B, America rated him a solid F. Barry certainly lacks humor. He is dependent on a teleprompter to tell hm what to say and how to say it. he cannot figure out that since communism has failed everywhere it has been tried that it will fail here if allowed to continue.

It is one of the essential features of such incompetence that the person so afflicted is incapable of knowing that he is incompetent. To have such knowledge would already be to remedy a good portion of the offense.

Barry thinks he is super smart. he has even sought to remake the currency and put HIM on the dollar bill. Whether or not he is capable of learning remains to be seen. He is stuck in a Chicago rut. He has never worked as a politician, never negotiated a deal.
His life experience is nothing, no achievement whatsoever. His political positions were bought and paid for by Soros and fiends. He did nothing to earn them. He is a puppet, and like Pinocchio, not very smart.
