Obama is sketchily educated. He wouldn’t know Shakespeare from a hole in the ground. He’d prefer Alinsky, or maybe Jeremiah Wright.

He should begin by reading “A Comedy of Errors”. That’s his Administration so far.

He wouldn’t know Shakespeare from a hole in the ground. I'll bet he knows that Shakespeare was white. Jeremiah Wright must have told him so. Which would explain a lot.

Will this do instead.
Obama is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: he is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
