resident Obama doesn't know much about history.
In his therapeutic 2009 Cairo speech, Obama outlined all sorts of Islamic intellectual and technological pedigrees, several of which were undeserved. He exaggerated Muslim contributions to printing and medicine, for example, and was flat-out wrong about the catalysts for the European Renaissance and Enlightenment.
He also believes history follows some predetermined course, as if things always get better on their own. Obama often praises those he pronounces to be on the "right side of history." He also chastises others for being on the "wrong side of history" -- as if evil is vanished and the good thrives on autopilot.
When in 2009 millions of Iranians took to the streets to protest the thuggish theocracy, they wanted immediate U.S. support. Instead, Obama belatedly offered them banalities suggesting that in the end, they would end up "on the right side of history." Iranian reformers may indeed end up there, but it will not be because of some righteous inanimate force of history, or the prognostications of Barack Obama.
Obama often parrots Martin Luther King Jr.'s phrase about the arc of the moral universe bending toward justice. But King used that metaphor as an incentive to act, not as reassurance that matters will follow an inevitably positive course.

“...those alive today will “do it right”, because of their superiority.”
Hmmmm...maybe THAT’S what the Germans told themselves when they began building furnaces to solve their social problems.
German fascism is based on the same basic worldview as modern “liberalism”.

The buffoon imposter also probably plays a crappy game of golf. Observing Clown Prince nobama is like watching seriously disturbed people in a mental ward.
The real fact is that the Arabs got a lot out of reading Aristotle and the other Greek philosophers. That is where they got the idea about the concept of zero. So, the Arabs did not invent as much as Obama thinks they did.
Around the time that the West discovered the missing Aristotle (wrong 1100 AD.), the great imam's at the time did not want any of the Western Civ knowledge to play a part in Arab thinking anymore so it all was shunned. What ever advance they had arrived at was quickly shuttered and they reverted back to the days of Mohammed.
Meanwhile, Western Civ knowledge exploded onto Europe creating the Renaissance and we have far outpaced them ever since.
I do not know how autocorrect made "wrong" when I typed in "about."
Probably? Now that is funny
There appears to be some doubt as to whether he ever actually attended Columbia.

Oh, no, Aristotle inspired the creation of Obama!
LOL
Thanks Kaslin.
Muslims and blacks overstate their contributions to the world. I think it comes from feeling inferior.
