Ben Stein: Obama Not Terribly Smart, Lacks Human Empathy

Tuesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” humorist, economist and former speechwriter for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, Ben Stein, said President Barack Obama is “just not a terribly smart man” and lacks “human empathy.”

Stein said, “Of course he should have gone. Of course he has contempt. I think he has contempt for just about everybody not just dead Jews. I think he has contempt for people murdered everywhere. I mean, I don’t think he has much regard for people killed by the Islamic State. I don’t think he has much regard for people killed by al Qaeda, fighting other Arabs, fighting Muslims. I  just don’t think he’s much of a guy in terms of human empathy.”
