The full 1:35. Creepy stuff.

I couldn’t fail to notice that among the aspirations of the Obama scholars, mathematician, engineer and physicist did not come up.

I guess there’s little harm in trying to motivate kids, better they should believe in themselves. But do they expect to get by on affirmative action or by dint of real effort? I wonder how many of them are going to go home and try do their math homework. (My guess: 0).

Time was that anyone who proclaimed themselves a "scholar" was bragging that he could actually read, more or less.

Seems like to claim the title of "Obama Scholar" is to admit that you don't know what, or where, or who, but you are convinced of the why.

Considering what a moron zero is, being an Obama Scholar is not something to be proud of.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Big deal. I’m a prophet.

The list, ping

Aside from not appreciating scholarship for its own merits, what proof do they have of his scholarship? He has very little acquaintance with either history, geography or mathematics and even less respect for what facts he does know.

[Beckwith]

That’s sad.
