If I understand correctly, law students take their toughest and most substantive courses in their first year. Afterwards they can take a variety of electives that don’t have much to do with the nuts-and-bolts “black letter” law. Such courses can be theoretical or only distantly related to actual laws and cases. In such an environment it’s possible to stand out if you can talk a good line. So it’s not surprising that Obama — who could do that, at least with some people — could do well at Harvard after not doing well at Columbia.
Barry Obama is probably the first and only Law Review Editor in the entire history of the Law Reviews of all of the Law Schools in the United States who NEVER published a SINGLE Law Review article.
What does that tell you about why he was chosen for the job? (Refer back to his future Vice President’s comment about his clean cutness and articulateness).
Look I don’t deny that Barry is very intelligent sounding (if reading from a teleprompter - not so much off the cuff) and probably has a VERY high “schmooze IQ” or “EQ” as its often called.
But he is nothing but a third rate intellect. I submit the entire public body of his work as evidence and move for Summary Judgment.
