Robertson is either ignorant or his religious prejudices have gotten the better of him. Buddha never claimed to be a god. Buddha wasn't a Jesus, a Savior figure, or anything like that.
In fact, he's wasn't even smart. It took him 30 odd years to realize that life is a suffering. Other than that, I think Jesus and Siddhārtha Gautama would get along just fine. And ironically some Buddhists act more Christian than some fanatic self righteous Christians ... of which, from what I've seen out of Robertson over the years, includes him.
