“Lawyers have strong verbal skills and so does the demagogue 0bama
But how well would he do in hard science like a physics class?”
I know several lawyers, and I wouldn’t stereotype them. I am talking people who passed the tough California Bar exam first time, and have practiced law as a career, not mail order types who do it part time for awhile.
One undergrad Chemical engineering—long succesful career in international project management, now a professional mediator; another undergrad Finance—now business law; another now a sitting Superior Court judge, very strong verbally—but smart.
Law is a demanding enough subject to require a structured, organized thinker like hard science, engineering, accounting, etc.
Any of these guys could change oil, probably fire a pretty nice group at the range.

As for 0bama and his ilk? They are different. They like the squishy and vague stuff. Not the quantifiable. Michael Mann with his hockey stick graph.... He’s awful at statistics. It wasn’t all deception. These CRU types are squishy and bad at logic and math.
Steve McIntyre has an excellent background in math. He knew their published info looked fishy so he requested the underlying data to determine this
