Is Obama Stupid & Lazy?
The Western Center for Journalism ^ | 1-12-10 | Steve Baldwin

Posted on 01/13/2010 5:27:47 PM PST by washingtoncon

This lenghty Report by Steve Baldwin is well worth the read...

Is Obama Stupid and Lazy? Although that’s quite a provocative question, evidence is mounting that Obama may not be as intelligent as his supporters and cheerleaders in the media constantly assure us.

The reality may be that Obama is mostly a creation of the liberal media. Indeed, the more 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 while he pursued his political agenda.

We know very little about Obama’s academic performance. Sources state that he attended an elite K-12 school in Hawaii called Punahou School, but the school claims that his records are missing.

Obama attended the prestigious Occidental College in California. This is puzzling, however, because he has admitted in his book and elsewhere that he was engaged in heavy drug use while in high school. This seems to show that his studies were the last thing on his mind. How he got in remains a mystery and Obama’s attorneys have blocked access to those records.

Obama finished up his undergraduate years at Columbia College, but, again, Obama won’t release those records either. We have no information to suggest he was a good student. We do know, however, that he did not graduate with honors from Columbia. As the New York Sun writes:

University Spokesman Brian Connolly confirmed that Obama graduated with a major in political science but without honors. Nevertheless, he was later admitted to Harvard Law School.

Being accepted by Harvard Law School without graduating with honors from Columbia suggests that Obama was admitted to Harvard based on race and perhaps, by that time, his growing reputation as a liberal political superstar.

Obama can’t be stupid, he has a JD from Harvard. But wait a minute, so does Michelle! Wow! If this pampered President and his sycophantic followers are intellectuals, frankly, I’ll take Joe the Plumber.

He is also an habitual and shameless liar. The day cannot be long in coming when politicians and pundits start questioning his integrity to his face.

The media made a big deal of George W. Bush being a C student (actually he had a lot of B’s in his major, History), but never pointed out that those were from the era before grade inflation. Obama won’t release his high school, college or law school transcripts, so we don’t know how well he did, but his education was after grade inflation became prevalent. A B+ nowadays might have been a C or C- in the 1960s.

Obama is not very bright. He is the quintessential affirmative action baby. A bunch of white liberal professors kept kicking him upstairs. He has to be one of the luckiest men in world history.

I always wrote that if attended schools at all, he sealed his education records to hide the disastrous GPAs.

Records will also show something about his negative IQ, which will turn the MSM myth about how brilliant he is into smithereens!

Lefties and Communist professors must have written his books and passed him through “schools” without attendance, etc.

0b0z0s education was a mirage; hence, the hidden records or no records to begin with!

I can’t can’t reach any other conclusion, but if anyone can prove otherwise; show me the records!

I'm a little more than 100 pages into the book and I find it difficult to understand just how this charlatan was elected Senator, let alone POTUS.

I read the article and found it interesting enough to bookmark.

Obama remains a packaged product and we’re still not permitted to see inside the package.

Join the club, my FRiend. IIRC, that was the first thing I thought of as well. Don’t worry, it doesn’t get any prettier.

——————————So the school records showing his religion as Islam, doesn’t count?

“Obama remains a packaged product and we’re still not permitted to see inside the package.”

Oh, if you read the whole article, it makes a good case for Obama being a total fraud. Here is an exerpt...

“Don’t believe me? Visit YouTube.com and search for “Obama with no teleprompter,” and you’ll find a slew of speeches in which he sounds like a fool, stuttering and stammering. Without a speech prepared for him and without a teleprompter, he’s a less than average speaker. Being unable to speak extemporaneously, like the media claims he can, is a sign of his lack of brilliance. What’s more, not only is his grammar and syntax off in his unprepared speeches, his thoughts are also confusing: “

A sound argument can be made that Obama is only semi literate.

One of my best friends was in the Harvard Medical School, class of 76. His 2 roomies were a black student, and Charles Krauthammer. The black student was given the questions and answers of upcoming exams(not identical, but very similar)
two weeks before a test date. The black student was bothered by this, and offered his roomies(and every other guy in the dorm) a copy of these exam papers. This is not hearsay. I met this student several times, and he showed me the papers.
