Here’s a piece from Jennifer Rubin calling Obama out on the ignoramus that he is. Rubin hits hard with:
He displays contempt for Americans who don’t agree with his flawed policies, in effect instructing them to shut up. But his arrogance is both unwise (these people vote!) and undeserved. Had he not spent trillions on a flawed Keynesian economics, had he not botched the Middle East peace talks, had he not misread the mullahs, had he not mistaken appeasement for “reset” with Russia, and had he not hired ill-prepared senior advisers (who now must be cast off), his self-satisfaction might be warranted. But to put it bluntly, where does a garden-variety leftist with a track record as bad as his get off telling the voters that they lack adequate reasoning skills?
This is part of her rebuttal against all the Obama cultists who claim this man is an “intellectual”. Rubin calls him a snob.
We go a step further and call him out as the poster boy for Affirmative Action that he is.
If Obama had done well at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard, he would have turned his college and law school transcripts into wallpaper so his cultists could wallpaper their mothers’ basements with them. There, they’d eat their Hot Pockets, wearing their faded, ill-fitting (too many Hot Pockets!) HOPE! tee shirts and gaze up in wonder at all the A’s and maybe one or two B’s Obama received…if those were really his grades.
We remember the 2000 campaign where Al Gore released his college records in an effort to prove he was smarter than George W. Bush, a Harvard MBA. Bush then released his transcripts…and he not only had a higher GPA than Gore, but took harder classes too. Instead of Underwater Basket Weaving and Intermediate Farting, Bush took, you know, FINANCE courses and BUSINESS classes. Oh, yah, and he also learned how to fly airplanes in the Reserves.
Obama was a C or D student in college who was passed and promoted aggressively because he was a smiling, biracial, man with a weird name who more likely than not played up on his Muslim upbringing in Indonesia in all of his college admissions essays and other course work. That’s the sort of thing Columbia and Harvard JUST LOVE…so we can’t imagine he ever hid any of that. It’s what made him interesting to the academic elite…this little brown boy raised in the jungles of the Pacific, mentored by Frank Marshall, with that Kenyan last name.
They just ate that stuff up.
There’s a reason Obama won’t release those transcripts…or any of the other dozens of documents he spends millions of dollars concealing. Historians will eventually find them all, and one day in the future when all of us are long dead future Americans will have a better, if not ever fully accurate, picture of who the 44th President of the United States was.
We bet this “intellectual” will, in the end, ultimately be proved to be that C or D student we suspect, among other things he’s done such a good job hiding.
Simple question: Did he list himself as a foreign student? Let the transcripts that answer the question.
C's and D's, and a bunch of "I's" so there's no need to brag about it.
Combined that with his relationships (professional and otherwise), his travels to Pakistan, and genuine BC that reveals 0bama's daddy isn't actually the one on the BC, and you have a buried paper trail that proves ZERO's entire life is a fraud, a sham.
What especially disturbing is: WHO has been covering all of this up, why, and the reason GW's DoJ and FBI didn't vet him.
He was not editor in chief, he was president of the Harvard Law Review.
I agree. Speculating on grades is not BREAKING news. Put this story up when it turns out to be true.
That’s always been the theme promoted by the MSM.
Republicans are dumb and clumsy and democrats are brilliant!
Yes, I misspoke— the tiltle is President, not Editor in Chief, but either way, the students who run the law review do not write the articles in it, only professors do.
Does it really matter now? The reality is on 11/4/08 the American electorate chose an lawless lover of self who had plans to destroy the nation & create chaos in the world.
The Editor in Chief of the Harvard Law Review never writes any articles for it.
...actually, he was NOT the Editor, but the President of the Law Review, a new political position that he won out over 15 other candidates as a minority compromise, and that’s why there are no articles “edited” or written by Hussein...
ymmv
you could just state this as fact, and if anyone questions it, tell them to prove you wrong.
Is it blog pimping if someone other than the blog creator/writer posted it?
Also, it was clearly a challenge for O and his minions to prove otherwise.
Having graduated Harvard Law School (well before Obama), I can tell you that all the students who work on the Law Review have the ttle “editor,” that the editors elect one of them to be “President” and that the editors don’t write the articles in the Law Review. I can easily believe that his election to be President was political, but getting to be an editor in the first place requires very high grades— I didn’t make it and my grades were good.
Obama wasn't in law school to learn to be a lawyer. Law school was just window dressing for a resume. Grades were irrelevant. Obama was groomed to be the marxist infiltrator/agitator/street organizer that he became. Infiltrating him into the American political system was the goal.
As to the “Cs and Ds,” Hlllbuzz appears to be guessing (and supplying good reasons for the guess, e.g., Obama’s bumbling in office; Obama would show off the transcripts if he had GOOD grades; etc.)
I happen to AGREE with the guess, but it seems to be just that.
It’s ‘breaking’ in the sense that a smart lady like Rubin has the guts to say ‘go ahead, prove me wrong and release the transcripts’. If C-BS got away with ‘fake but accurate’ smears od Bush, then a blogger can state the obvious, without the fake pretense of ‘objectivity’.
He’s a stupid POS. A blind man could see that.
but but but...we’re told he’s intensely intelligent.
But, But, But... compared to the people who voted for him~~~he is;)
They didn't. If you read the article, Ms. Rubin merely speculates that he got C's and D's, on the theory that they'd have released his transcripts if he'd done better.
It's BS.
No, they chose something entirely different. Most of his supporters voted out of ignorance. The Obama campaign went to great lengths to disguise his world view and the media helped. The media even tried to paint him to the right of McCain (i.e., tax cuts for 98% of Americans).
HLR doesn't have any wiggle room to lower its standards for diversity's sake?
I went to Boalt, where it was entirely a blind "write on" competition -- yet even there, the (California Law) Review told us that top grades AND RACE could be used to break ties at the make-or-break line.
