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.

The author certainly makes a good case; in particular, I was unaware of this information:

J.P Morgan tracks the percentage of cabinet officials — 432 in all – who have private sector experience. They’ve been doing this since 1900. The vast majority of Presidential cabinets have selected around 50% of its people from private sector backgrounds. Except Obama’s cabinet. Only 8% of his cabinet officials hail from the private sector. This does not mean they’re stupid, but it does reveal how incredibly naïve it is for Obama is to appoint so many people with NO private sector experience to oversee a collapsing economy.

Maybe, but the people running him and working under his auspices are not. They are undermining the foundations of this nation 24/7.

The more I read about Obozo the more angry I become.

Oh,I read the article and bookmarked it. He’s indeed a fraud and I’ve never thought of him as intelligent or even educated in the sense that most people with his letters/degrees are educated. His years at Columbia remain a mystery, and ditto for most (of not all) of his life. The man is an empty suit and packaged product that was sold to the public by a complicit news media and they’re still covering for him.

Eventually, something’s got to give.
