Possible causes: drug use, poor work ethic, narcissism, and a vague awareness that these things don't really matter anyway.<br /><br />He is smart enough to do what he has to do - wealth transfer to lower & upper middle class NAM's. Obama deserves props for being more intelligent than Bush & Karl Rove, who convinced themselves home ownership would convert NAM's into docile Gee-oh-Pee-ers altruistic enough to vote against self interest.

In Law School, he probably got away with it by taking soft, social-science oriented courses and post exam bump-ups due to "meaningful class participation". I suggest you look at The American Thinker's archives - plenty of good examples showing 0bama making an absolute hash of Con Law - on the campaign trail, no less. To this day he shows confusion about basic separation of powers, for one thing.<br /><br />At the freep link, note the heavy reliance on recycled exams, which are riddled with errors despite his having MONTHS to prepare them. I took 4-5 law school exams a semester for three years; most exams were error-free, and I recall at most one or two minor clerical errors on the ones that weren't.<br /><br />Also keep in mind that even the best legal minds like Katyal, Rosenkranz, etc will have their pick of 1L's to assist over the summer with research & drafting. Many of these 1L's go on to graduate cum laude or MCL. Shocking that with all these resources at his disposal and months of preparation, the Magic Negro couldn't seem to come up with anything better.<br /><br />Finally, consider 0's failure to write anything of note while on the HLR. I was an unremarkable student, but I found that as long as you were interested in your topic a 25-40 page legal paper could be completed with about 2.5-4weeks of preparation. Making sure legal citations were done properly was probably the hardest thing for me. I wrote two such papers which were far from stellar but earned decent grades; 0bama apparently wrote nothing but "notes" - some of which were shorter than a typical Legal Research & Writing weekend homework assignment. Seriously - it actually takes EFFORT to be so shiftless that you leave a LS like Harvard with virtually no paper trail.<br /><br />IMHO it's probably off base to debate 0's raw IQ - rather, the question should be whether or not his "academic career" enhanced or inhibited his ability to resolve crises (or, at least, instill public confidence if traditional presidential "skill sets" are not applicable.)Nine-of-Diamondsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-53508052579385723052010-06-01T09:24:27.022-07:002010-06-01T09:24:27.022-07:00For reasons that I don't pretend to understand...For reasons that I don't pretend to understand, Komment Kontrol rejected my original attempt to post to this thread [pointing out that these nihilists in the Obama Administration WANT this catastrophe, and that there are deep ties between them and BP].<br /><br />Well, it's now the Tuesday after Memorial Day, and in the opening segment of his return from the holiday, Rush Limbaugh is fronting a story about how Rahm Emanuel lived [rent-free] in the home of the man who <a href="http://thenextright.com/ironman/bps-strange-democrat-bedfellows" rel="nofollow">crafted BP's ecopagan propaganda campaign</a>.<br /><br />PS: Obama's IQ is <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2124993/posts" rel="nofollow">no higher than 115</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-8362589376601878712010-05-31T21:10:16.506-07:002010-05-31T21:10:16.506-07:00As a consistent hard worker, I don't get it in...As a consistent hard worker, I don't get it intuitively, but easy empiricism reveals that history and the present is filled with very smart people who spent decades fucking around.<br /><br />I think there's plenty of evidence that Obama is very smart, but I get why folks want to force-fit him into the narrative of blacks-are-less-intelligent-than-whites.

Concern for others? Love for America? And no, speeches written by young Favreau and recited from a teleprompter don't count.<br /><br />I really can't believe there are still people on this blog who still think Obama is particuarly intelligent. He doesn't write his speeches, he cannot speak without a teleprompter. He thought there were 57 states in the country. Cum Laude at Harvard? Just don't believe it. He has no writings of any note to his name except a bloated autobiography ghostwritten by Ayres (pls don't tire yourselves with argument; it's been proven.)<br />On May 14 began a trial in New York City, uncovered of course by national press, which concluded that Obama never graduated from Columbia. This trial -- in a regular court with a legal judge and jury -- was the result of a private investigation hired by an Obama detractor (black man, btw, who the MSM never stops ridiculing in their predictable way.) <br />So please.

Firs...Ah, the personal attack by the partisan hack. First off, yes I have done better than your silly unsubstantiated claim (i.e., that he was objectively in the top 10% of his law school cohort); but I am not the issue here. I know it's hard for you Barry believers, but belief generally is a poor sustitute for the truth. Try to keep focused, the issue is the competence or lack thereof of Barry Soetoro.<br /><br />Again, he seems to be without any even mild degree of competence (again, and that includes academic). As a reminder, he clearly has little or none of the following:<br />1) Actual experience (i.e., outside of being a political hack), either academic or practical.<br />2) Intelligence (remember, we don’t know his grades; but we do know he has been an affirmative action case from private school through law school). In short, would anyone be surprised, for example, to find out that Bush or Kerry would make him look stupid (i.e., relatively speaking, at least with respect to grades).<br />3) No real ability to speak without, at a minimum, two aides: (A) a teleprompter, and (B) someone else writing the words.<br />4) Academic credentials (e.g., he doesn’t have a Ph.D., and hasn’t authored any academic articles, which is a really a requirement in order to be considered ‘academic’).<br />5) A name (i.e., Is it Barry Soetoro, Barack Obama, Barrack Hussein, etc.?).<br />6) A past (e.g., Did he: actually attend and study at Columbia, study in the U.S. as a foreign student, use multiple social security numbers, etc.?).<br />We do know he:<br />1) Is a socialist/cultural Marxist.<br />2) Lacks basic empathy, especially for founding stock Americans.<br />3) Cannot complete a thought without a teleprompter with words that are not his own (see #3 above).<br />4) Hates America and any American that stands in his way.<br />5) Has used and abused drugs (and still relies on nicotine to keep his girlish figure).<br />6) Etc., etc. ...<br />Finally, I will make this simple for the Barry Boosters out there, just kindly provide links with solid proof countering the points above or stop watsing our time. Hey, why not read Steve's book about America's Half-Blood Prince and tell us all where Steve finds that he displays his competence. Again, the current president has a sporting chance of going down as the most incompetent presidient in U.S. history; and,I would argue this is in no small measure due to his being our first affirmative action president where he has received an easy ride through each rung along the way (including law school).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832139888984418983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31858828123116670182010-05-31T12:40:00.196-07:002010-05-31T12:40:00.196-07:00What about the MSM?
