John Hodgman Asks Obama, "Are You a Nerd?"
Hugh Pickens writes "Watch a video of comedian John Hodgman speak after Barack Obama at the recent Radio and Television Correspondents Association dinner in DC and discuss the central question of our age: "how we can heal the great and shameful division that has plagued our nation for so long — the age old conflict between jocks and nerds" and ask Obama: Are you now, or have you ever been, a nerd?"
And of course we can't forget Obama -- I hear rumors he's been sleeping with a Black chick!
That's just his way of keeping it old school.
Both those suggestion fail.
Those people were reasonably well versed, had some knowledge of how to move in social circles, and had the respect of their peers.
Jimmy Carter, OTOH...
I loved the man, and he had great vision. Sadly the political know how and the state of the party at the time pretty much got his ideas buried.
And he was the first real victim of what became what we now call Neo Cons.
He made the classic nerd mistake: Assumed the facts would be enough to win a debate.

Oh I see, so your definitions are mutually exclusive. That's convenient. However I doubt if you look at the definitions given from more authoritative sources you'll find that they are so neatly mutually exclusive.
TL;DR : I win.
You just got troll'd!
