After Paul McCartney’s classless swipe at former President George W Bush at an award ceremony hosted by Barack Obama, one has to wonder at the maturity of modern liberals. Are they 12 year olds or adults? Was this the behavior of an infantile child or a gentleman? The fact that Paul McCartney believed his comments would be accepted without reservation by his host, Barack Obama speaks to the measure of both so-called men. Why else would McCartney utter such tasteless and irrelevant comments at a ceremony to honor achievement? Did Barack Obama attempt to diffuse the inappropriate comment or otherwise do anything other than condone it with his silence? Not to anyone’s knowledge. The comment in question: “After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” This is in reference to the liberal mythology that George W Bush was dumb. It’s amazing how stupid people can come off by drinking their own Kool-Aid.
Take a long hard look on the internet, use any search engine, do you find one mention listing Barack Obama’s grades? You can find the grades of George W Bush, Al Gore and John Kerry with little trouble. Notice how the The Washington Post and Boston Globe had no problems with obtaining university transcripts of George W Bush, Al Gore and John Kerry . Has there been any serious candidate for president in modern history that sealed their educational records in a deliberate attempt to conceal from the public the educational performance of a person who intends to be the leader of the US? Then why is Barack Obama allowed to conceal his academic performance?

Face it, the guy is a FRAUD. He is the equal of an actor in a role. Unfortunately for us, he is the pResident. His problems go beyond his needing OJT, his problems are in his lack of character, patriotism, and work ethic.
It would be nice, if he picked up a book at random and read it. No handlers, no puppeteers, no telepropmtrs. A sea change would be most welcome.
But he can read ..... a teleprompter.
a deliberate attempt to conceal from the public the educational performance of a person who intends to be the leader of the US?
You can only draw one conclusion.......lousy grades that prove he was carried along because he was a minority and had a major sugar daddy pulling strings.
McCartney’s education credentials are roughly equivalent to those of Bill Gates. And both have had about the same level of success.
Paul McCartneys academic credentials?
high school dropout?
No demonstrable ability to function intellectually.
Shallow, trivial, egotistic.
“Anyone who becomes POTUS is not stupid”
A thesis without merit. Obama is stupid.
He is the guy who'd rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.
****
My guess would be: probably not bad.
He is old enough to have gone to school before the "Preserve Self-esteem at All Costs" movement so prevalent today.
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is”
This is a rather ironic way to slam a president who married a librarian!
You fall into the same trap as the left who constantly demeaned Bush for being “stupid”. Gross inexperience and being a Marxist does not make one “stupid” - he and his policies are however a clear & present danger to the US.
Where is the pic of Obama with the book “Post America” something?
He seems to like that book. Hide it behind a telepromtr, he’ll find it.
I haven't heard Bill Gates denigrate the intellect of President Bush. I also believe Bill Gates is, at least, a college dropout, while Paul McCartney is a high school dropout. McCartney is clearly unaware that, while president, Bush read approximately 100 non-fiction books a year, although, he probably didn't have to go to the library to get them.
And did Paul realize that George Bush is married to a LIBRARIAN!
