I agree with you. I was a poli sci major at Indiana University at about the same time (and as a conservative, even in college, it was not easy). All you had to do was write that whatever topic we discussed “...showed how the evil American is nothing but man’s inhumanity to man as it transcends the class struggle.” The liberal profs ate that crap for breakfast and loved it. “Oh what a bright young man; he gets it!”
The difference is that I figured out the game to get my grades and get the hell out. 0bama actually believed it, as we see now. And no, he is proving to me that he really isn’t that bright. He is parroting thoughts put into his head by TOTUS. He is such a good speaker at telling lies because he isn’t smart enough to realize he’s lying.
All I need to know about how Obama did in school is to watch his speech and actions now. He doesn’t come across as well-educated by any means. He makes dunder-headed decisions over and over again. There is absolutely nothing about his words and actions that would make anyone believe he was highly intellectual if he didn’t have his cheerleaders in the MSM.

It only took my son one or two F’s on well written papers to adapt to regurgitating what the profs wanted to read.
It got to be a fun game between him and me to keep up with the latest dem talking points and buzz words to include in his papers, which he made all A’s on after that.
The funniest ones he ever wrote were for an African Studies class (scheduling snafu required him to take it). In one he justified OJ’s prosecution as being analogous to the efforts of a plantation owner to recapture a runaway slave and another was on a book about a black woman who gets raped by a white man; in that one he claimed the white man’s mentality was analogous to a plantation overseer’s “right” having his way with the slaves.
And based on his other papers about Global warming we are all doomed and one political paper about Obama he successfully argued that if you disagree with him you are a racist.
He made straight A’s on these ridiculous pieces of crap, graduated and now has a successful job in a field completely unrelated to any classes he took in college.
