“I think Mr. Cashill is right, but I can’t see what difference it could ever make in the real world. Obama’s supporters don’t care.”
True, this is really more for the history books. Revisionists will rake over Obama like they’ve raked over every other public figure. At some point, perhaps, they won’t be able to continue saying he’s one of the smartest presidents ever. And they certainly won’t be able (if this story is accurate) to say he’s the best writer ever to be president, as some people have said. It’ll sound like they’re taking the cherry tree story seriously.
Are none of his English teachers or other teachers from high school or college still alive to comment on his writing or other academic abilities? He seems to have slipped through school like a phantom no one saw.
