I think Obama looks goofy.

Arugula? Sounds like the noise you make in the bathroom when you eat something bad.

Fancy degrees, affirmative action, etc. don’t mean jack shiet to a bunch of down-to earth Iowa farmers.

Hey, Mr. Muslim man, try this: “I’ll be the first to admit I know very little about farming. But I know how much you’ve contributed to our country’s greatness. I hold you guys in the highest regard. Thank you for your bounty.”

Dumbass!

I remember the whole "Belgian endive" thing. (And yes, it was "Belgian endive" as I recall.) The idea was that Rommel was completely out of touch with middle America and farmers such that his only contact with the agrarian sector was via a chilled salad plate. There were cutting referenes made (by Dan Quayle?) to "fancy Harvard vegetables" and perhaps growing such vegetables in "Harvard Yard". Funny stuff!

Maybe, but I have known a lot of affirmative action types who did not measure up. I worked for a department chair once who could not figure a percentage, even though he was a PhD in sociology.

Your key word there is "sociology".

Obama, like Turban Durbin, is owned and operated by the Chicago and Cook County political mafia.

This is the old George Will I remember, taking liberals to the woodshed. Excellent column here.

Obama is intensely intelligent.

So were Napoleon, Hannibal Lecter and Lex Luthor.

I think the criticism is that the market for endive is, shall we say, limited.

How about arugula?

Smart, maybe. Tone-deaf and out of touch, definitely.

"Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see[n] what they charge for arugula?"

Better than any six screens' worth of cogent psycho-politico-historico-socio-economic analysis, that single sentence epitomizes the bottomless and forever unbridgeable chasm separating us, mere mortals, from our anointed betters.

He was not moved up beyond his ability because of sociology (which one historian defined as elaboration of the obvious.)
