Unlike similar ‘townhall’ formats where he’s playing to a packed house of his own choir, this townhall will be filled half with Obama’s camp and half with Romney’s. He won’t be able to expect the full adulation of his audience.
And this Harvard Law Review business is making me crazy. He was the 2nd President of the HLR AFTER they changed the criteria to achieve ‘diversity.’ Unlike those who’d come before him (save one) he did not EARN the post by being the top student in the class. It was handed to him (as, one might assume, was admission). There is no record of even ONE Obama-written article (unheard of from ANY law school’s review).
I don't know where you are getting your facts from, but numeous sources (both liberal and conservative) on the web recall Obama as having been a very competant president of the HLR. Furthermore, Laura Ingrham, herself a member of the Univeristy of Virginia Law Review spoke admiringly of his tenure there this week on O'Reilley. While Obama's record as a student at Occidental College is open to debate, there are numerous records and first-hand accounts from teachers, as well as conservative fellow students, that paint him as a dilligent model student there. He did not enroll at Harvard until he was almost 30, and had spent a few years working in the real world. Again, his race and his politics undoubtedly helped him get in. President of the Law Review is the top position at the school, competition for which is very competitve. His fellow students did not give it to him out of charity. Lawyers, even liberal ones, generally don't do charity.
Furthermore, there are Obama-written articles from the HLR available on the web. He did not contribute as EDITOR, and that is not uncommon.
I don't like being in a position of defending a guy I can't stand, but if you are going to criticize someone, you need to have your facts straight.
