A Brilliant Law Professor??? By admin ~ April 7th, 2012 @ 01:39 By Aaron Cantor USAF (ret) Someone should tell Jay Carney to stop calling his boss.
How did Obama get into the Punahou School, Occidental College, Columbia or Harvard?
Although the above is a provocative question, evidence is mounting that Obama may not be anywhere as intelligent or learned as his supporters and cheerleaders in the MSM constantly assure us that he is.
Obama’s Educational Background
We know very little about Obama’s academic performance, but various sources state that he attended an elite K-12 school in Hawaii called Punahou School.
The school says it can’t find his records!
Occidental College in California
How he got into Occidental College remains a mystery and Obama’s attorneys have blocked access to his records.
Obama has admitted on several occasions that he was engaged in heavy drug use while in high school, which perhaps indicates that serious studies were the last thing on his mind.
The New York Sun Wrote
"University Spokesman Brian Connolly confirmed that Obama graduated with a major in political science, but without honors".
Nevertheless, he was, for whatever reason, admitted to Harvard Law School in late 1988
Obama at Columbia University
Obama has also refused to release his Columbia thesis, but we do know that he did not graduate with honors.
His thesis was about the nuclear disarmament of the West, and is known to have advocated the disarming of the West at the peak of the Cold War.
Does that sound clever?
So Why Or How Was Obama Admitted To Occidental and Columbia?
The numerous and ongoing efforts by Obama’s legal team to seal all his academic records brings suspicion that Obama wants to hide his lack of academic achievements, which of course suggests that liberal college administrators at Occidental and Columbia admitted him based on his skin color, and probably because of his liberal political pedigree.
And Admittance To Harvard?
Not graduating with honors from Columbia College almost guarantees that Obama’s acceptance to the Harvard Law School was hinged on affirmative action.
Obama has also refused to release any Harvard records, LSAT or SAT scores.
President Of The Harvard Law Review
How Obama was elected to the presidency of the Harvard Law Review is extremely controversial because historically, those who become president of the HLR did so based on outstanding grades.
It should be noted however, that at the time of his election to the post, that there was a huge push to promote blacks to leadership positions on campus, regardless of their merit.
What Did Obama Ever Publish?
The only article that anyone has found so far that was written by him during his undergraduate years, is one that was published by the Sundial, which is a campus magazine.
It’s entitled Breaking the War Mentality, and it simply repeats the propaganda lines of various campus anti-war groups that were active at that time..
He wrote fervently about nuclear freeze groups, which we now know, thanks to the opening of KGB archives, were being manipulated by the Soviets.
A little bit worrying, considering that Obama was just caught on a hot mic talking to the Russians.
Obama’s Chat With A Russian Politician.
If given space, I’ll have more flexibility after my election for negotiations on issues like missile defense. On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for you to give me space".
“Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space",
President Medvedev replied. “Space for you…”
“This is my last election", Obama observed.
. “After my election I have more flexibility".
“I understand", responded Medvedev and “I will transmit this information to Vladimir".
So Is Obama’s Brilliance An MSM Creation?
The reality may be that Obama is mostly a creation of the liberal media.
Because the more that we dig into his past, the more we find very little substance, and discover how a network of liberal professors, law firms, and others, gave him a pass on performance whilst he pursued his extreme left-wing political agenda.
The New Party (communist)
It is known that Obama was an active member of The New Party in 1996 and he didn’t quit it, but it got shut down by the court. Its aim was to help get people elected to office that would then move the Democratic Party further to the left.
The ‘New Party’ which was formed by members of the ‘Democratic Socialists for America’ and leaders of an offshoot of the ‘Community Party USA’ was an electoral alliance that worked alongside the ‘Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now’ – ACORN.
Is Obama So Articulate?
One reason why the media declares Obama to be so “brilliant” is because of his inspirational speeches.
But Obama doesn’t write his speeches!
His campaign speeches were written by Jon Favreau, who is now his main speechwriter at the White House and the soaring words and inspirational phrases were all written by Favreau.
Don’t believe me?
Just visit YouTube.com and search for “Obama with no teleprompter".
And you’ll find a slew of speeches in which he stutters and stammers.
Without a prepared and practiced speech and without a teleprompter, he’s at best, a less than average orator.
And what’s more, not only is his grammar and syntax off in his unprepared speeches, his thoughts are also confused:
Well, let me, let me be absolutely clear.
Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s.
It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain government, administration.
It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration.
So that policy is not going to change.
Even Bush was probably a better “off-the-cuff” speaker than Obama is.
The Cost Of Affirmative Action
Obama made headlines when he was elected the first bi-racial president of the HLR and he noted that:
"The fact that I’ve been elected shows a lot of progress".
And according to the NYT,
"The head of the HLR used to be selected based on grades, but that’s no longer the case".
The original system came under attack in the 1970′s and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition.
Affirmative Action
One of the major problems with affirmative action programs is that when people are promoted for any reason other than merit, then somebody or something has to pays the price.
And in Obama’s case many would agree that it’s America that’s now paying the price.
Who Is Obama?
What does the following video tell us?
Is it true or fabricated?
I don’t know, but we do know that because the MSM so desperately wanted to see a left-wing, bi-racial candidate elected, that Obama was less vetted than perhaps any presidential candidate in recent history.
Even though most of the MSM still refuses to admit its error, some cracks are appearing in the facade.
Hypocrisy and lies: The Obama/MSM combined spin on …
hotair.com2/24/12
“Some politicians, they see this as a political opportunity. I know you're shocked by that. Last week the lead story in one newspaper said, 'Gasoline prices are on the rise and Republicans are licking their chops.' That's a quote.
STOP MARXISM: Defeat the Obama MSM Machine
Defeat the Obama MSM Machine. Only Full Vetting will Defeat the Obama-Mainstream Media Machine Written by Lawrence Sellin, PhD. The Republican establishment is fully aware that Barack Hussein Obama is surrounded …
For too long, the MSM idolized Obama and he could do no wrong, but that’s all finally changing.
Obama carefully hid his past and although blogs posted the horrific downside of electing an almost unvetted Communist, the MSM so much wanted a bi-racial and somewhat articulate liberal, that they swept the dirt under the proverbial rug.
So What’s Changed?
What is happening is that the president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator, who’s not operating in good faith, and this is hardening positions and leading to increased political bitterness.
When Did This Start?
The major shift most likely started on Jan. 20, 2012 following the mandate that agencies of the Catholic Church would have to provide birth-control services the church finds morally repugnant.
How Did The Public React?
Well the Obama administration was most likely taken by surprise when a large part of the public sided with the church.
"You’re kidding me. That’s not just bad judgment and a lack of civic tact, it’s not even constitutional!".
Faced with a fairly extreme blowback, the president offered a so-called accommodation that even its supporters recognized as devious and underhand.
Then his operatives flooded the airwaves with dishonest charges that those who defended the church’s religious liberties were trying to take ban contraception.
And Then Things Grew Steadily Worse For Obama
Several events over a period of just ten days also contributed to the shift in scrutiny.
1) There was the open-mic conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in which Obama pleaded for "space" and said he will have "more flexibility" in his negotiations once the election is over and those pesky voters have done their thing.
But when he knew that he’d been caught, our president tried to laugh it off by comically covering a mic in a following meeting and it was all very ghoulish!
2) Next, a boy of seventeen was shot and killed under disputed and unclear circumstances and the whole issue became racially charged, and emotions were high.
And the only memorable and incredibly dumb words from the president were.
"If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon".
But then as the story unfolded there were death threats and tweeted addresses and congressmen in hoodies.
And at the end of the day, the public reaction seemed to be:
"Hey buddy, we don’t need you to personalize what is already too dramatic, ‘this is not about you’".
#3 Then came the Supreme Court arguments on ObamaCare, which made that law look so hollow and so careless, that it amounted to a characterological indictment of the administration.
And how come the constitutional law professor from the University of Chicago didn’t notice that the centerpiece of his proposed agenda was not constitutional?
From the day Obama was sworn in, what was on the mind of most Americans was the economy, unemployment, declining home values and foreclosures.
And those self-same Americans were perhaps asking themselves.
"Can America survive its spending its taxing, its regulating".
"Is America over or can we turn it around?"
But the new president and his close knit circle weren’t thinking about that at all!
All the books written about the creation of economic policy within his administration make clear that the president and his aides didn’t know it was so bad, didn’t understand the depth of the crises, didn’t have a sense of how long it would last.
Obama had his mind on health care, and to be fair-minded, health care was part of the economic story, but only a part!
And definitely not the most urgent part.
Not the most frightening, distressing, immediate part.
Not the, "Is America over?" part.
Health care was similar to the birth-control mandate.
It came from his hermetically sealed inner circle, which operates with what seems an almost entirely abstract sense of America.
They know Chicago, the machine, the ethnic realities.
They know Democratic Party politics.
They know the books they’ve read, largely written by people like them, bright and credentialed, but intellectually cloistered.
And there always seems a lack of lived experience among them, which is why they were so surprised by the town hall uprisings of August 2009 and the 2010 midterm elections.
The Time Machine
If you jumped into a time machine and went forward to the day after the election, in November, 2012, and saw a headline saying "Obama Lost", do you imagine that it would be followed by widespread sadness, pain and a rending of garments?
Even his own supporters would not be that sad.
Will We Miss Obama?
It’s pretty hard to imagine people running around in 2014 saying,
"If only Obama were still president!".
And that most likely includes Obama himself, who in spite of being deeply competitive doesn’t seem to like his job very much.
What Happened To Obama’s Bi-Partisanship?
Do you think that Tip O’Neill liked Ronald Reagan?
You think he wanted to give him the gift of compromise?
O’Neill was a mean, tough partisan who went to work every day to defeat Ronald Reagan.
But forced by facts and numbers to deal, he dealt, and so did Reagan.
An American president has to make cooperation happen, but Obama couldn’t.
The Worst Week?
Obama just had the worst week of his presidency and it might be the worst week ever experienced by any US President.
Somehow, Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, and see his credentials for being elected so severely undermined, that it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place, let alone be re-elected later this year.
1) Obama wandered into the killing of Trayvon Martin and aided by his ignorance of the situation, knee-jerk prejudices and tendency toward racial profiling, he played a heavy hand in elevating a tragic situation in which a teenager was killed into a full-blown hot race fight.
Americans, he suggested, "need to do some soul-searching".
And then, utterly inexplicably, he veered off into this bizarre tangent about how he and the poor dead kid looked so much alike that they could be father and son.
It was election-year race-pandering gone horribly wrong.
2) Obama then fled town and was racing to the other side of the planet just as the Supreme Court was taking up the potentially embarrassing matter of Obamacare. It was the single most important attainment of his presidency. But by most accounts, Obama and his stuttering lawyers were all but laughed out of the courthouse and were even stumbling over softball questions lobbed by Obama’s own hand-picked justices.
3) Then in South Korea, he was caught on a hidden mic negotiating with the president of our longest standing rival on how to sell America and her allies down the river once he gets past the next election.
4) Finally, but not exactly icing on the cake, he managed to totally and completely unify the nastily-fighting Democrats and the Republicans in Congress.
Late Wednesday night (April 28, 2012) Congress unanimously voted, 414 to 0 to reject the budget that Obama presented and that was the second year in a row.
Summing Up Obama’s Bad Week
So, in one week, Obama got caught whispering promises to our enemy, incited a race war, raised serious questions about his understanding of the Constitution, and then got smacked down over his proposed budget that was so wildly reckless that even Democrats in Congress could not support it.
It was as if you lumped Hurricane Katrina and the Abu Ghraib abuses into one week for George W. Bush and added on top of that the time he oddly tried to massage German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s shoulders and got rebuffed, and then got caught cursing on a hot mic.
I’m not sure why the media rejoiced in calling Bush’s actions groping. I think he was just being playful and maybe wanting to loosen her up a little.
Even then, it wouldn’t be as bad as Obama’s week, because you’d probably also have to toss in the time Mr. Bush’s father threw up into the lap of Japan’s prime minister.
Only then might we be approaching how bad a week it was for Obama.
Obama will not show any trace of embarrassment however because he has thoroughly mastered the high political art of shamelessness, and he wears it smugly and unashamedly.
