The more upside-down the view of off-campus life that professors take, it seems, the more likely they are to succeed. Take Peter Edelman of the Georgetown Law Center who the D. C. bar describes as a legend.
An Obama supporter, he is pained to note of the presidents economic policies that, In spite of all that, were not doing too well. Similarly, he bemoans the flood of low-wage jobs that built up in this country for about a quarter century without acknowledging that virtually all of last months job gains came from McDonalds.
Edelman moderated a panel at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on Strengthening American Families. His own diagnosis of what ails them might strike those same families as counterintuitive.
We have a criminal justice system dedicated to keeping families apart, he said at CAP on June 9, 2011. They are locking up two million disproportionately African-American and Latino prisoners. Edelman did not mention that a glance at police logs show that the rape and murder victims of criminals also tend to be African-American and Latino.
Conversely, Edelman is impressed with the stunning successes of LGBT (Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual and Transgender) activists, particularly in overturning the so-called dont ask, dont tell bar on homosexuals serving in combat. He did not mention that polls show that this might lead heterosexuals to avoid reenlisting.
In October 2008, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) conducted an online survey on whether the military should allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military, Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness noted early last year. The majority (52 percent) of the 1,664 respondents to the survey opposed repealing the 1993 law, and 68 percent believed that repealing the law would have a moderate to very negative impact on troop morale and readiness.

“We’re not doing too well.” - Man, this guy is really invested in Obama. He thinks he is Obama. Democrats - every single one of them should be whipped with a dead weasel. Not that it would do any good, but oh, the fun of it.
