The Obamas’ Law Professor Thinks Michelle Should’ve Been President

If Barry was an “academic high flyer” at Harvard, I’m gonna start a posse to locate my “Order of the Coif” that went missing at my own 1986 graduation from a law school that is at least as good as Harvard.

Oh yeah. That’s right. They don’t give those types of awards to “B” students.

If Barry was an academic high flyer he would still have been bragging about it.

The reason his grades at Columbia and Harvard have been embargoed is because they would show him to be a B or even a C student (certainly at Harvard - if he was a “B” student at Columbia I can GUARANTEE you from personal experience of being an “A” Phi Beta Kappa undergrad, going to a law school of Harvard’s caliber and suddenly being surrounded by people most of whom had grades even better than yours, you would settle in the downwards direction on the grade scale and start experiencing letters on your report cards that just a few years before in college would have been unimaginable).

And that history of course would not have fit in with the narrative of the leftists who made him “The Golden Child” and promoted him over and over again til he conned an entire nation into getting a job that was several ranks above his “Peter Principle” zone ...

Michelle's brilliance and insight is on full display in her Princeton thesis.

If I understand correctly, law students take their toughest and most substantive courses in their first year. Afterwards they can take a variety of electives that don’t have much to do with the nuts-and-bolts “black letter” law. Such courses can be theoretical or only distantly related to actual laws and cases. In such an environment it’s possible to stand out if you can talk a good line. So it’s not surprising that Obama — who could do that, at least with some people — could do well at Harvard after not doing well at Columbia.

“If Barack was an academic highflyer at Harvard Law, the professor — who wants to praise Obama — might have found him to be kind of a pain, so he puts in a good word for Michelle who was at least quieter and not as pushy.”

Yeah, I know the type. He’d argue with the Prof, quite often repeating the same line of argument again and again - which the Prof had just demolished - because he didn’t “get” that the Prof. had just “eaten his lunch”.

One of the reasons why I quickly learned as a 1L not to challenge the ringmaster who ran the circus.

*LOL*

Barry Obama is probably the first and only Law Review Editor in the entire history of the Law Reviews of all of the Law Schools in the United States who NEVER published a SINGLE Law Review article.

What does that tell you about why he was chosen for the job? (Refer back to his future Vice President’s comment about his clean cutness and articulateness).

Look I don’t deny that Barry is very intelligent sounding (if reading from a teleprompter - not so much off the cuff) and probably has a VERY high “schmooze IQ” or “EQ” as its often called.

But he is nothing but a third rate intellect. I submit the entire public body of his work as evidence and move for Summary Judgment.

IIRC (someone confirm or prove me wrong please)

Moochelle was on the board of the hospital. He went into the uS senate. He got a rider on a bill sending a few mill in grants to the hospital. She go a pay raise from 167,000 to over 350,000.
