Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write
American Thinker ^ | 8/29/11 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 08/28/2011 11:10:18 PM PDT by Nachum

On November 16, 1990, Barack Obama, then president of the Harvard Law Review, published a letter in the Harvard Law Record, an independent Harvard Law School newspaper, championing affirmative action.

Although a paragraph from this letter was excerpted in David Remnick's biography of Obama, The Bridge, I had not seen the letter in its entirety before this week. Not surprisingly, it confirms everything I know about Barack Obama, the writer and thinker.

Obama was prompted to write by an earlier letter from a Mr. Jim Chen that criticized Harvard Law Review's affirmative action policies. Specifically, Chen had argued that affirmative action stigmatized its presumed beneficiaries.

The response is classic Obama: patronizing, dishonest, syntactically muddled, and grammatically challenged. In the very first sentence Obama leads with his signature failing, one on full display in his earlier published work: his inability to make subject and predicate agree.

My high school English teacher would never tolerate such writing.

Well done, Jack. Keep investigating. The truth is out there and you are getting closer.

If that is representative of his overall writing, I can see why he locked up almost all the evidence. That is the writing style of a man using words he does not fully comprehend...AKA using big or ‘smart’ words to sound impressive and hide a lack of knowledge.

Or he wrote it in the third grade.

Looks like there is very good reason why the powers that be have hidden and made unavailable all of Obummers work prior to being President. He is an incompetent and a very stupid man.

This is the reason they use the teleprompter. They are more afraid of mistakes than they are of the ridicule he gets here and abroad for TOTUS.

I wonder if she’s proud of herself for the first time.

There's a lot about Obama I've read and must say I tend to believe.

Barry still could not get a real job, because he was still a fraud, even with his Harvard degree in hand he could lie and take the Bar exam, but he could not work as a lawyer for a major law firm without a back ground investigation and he would never pass one. So, Michelle got Barry a job at her law firm. Barry never filed a case alone and never filed a motion. He wrote lots of memos according to the law firm where Barry worked. (I think they know Barry is a fraud and don't want to be sued by previous clients) Barry rescinded his law licenses, so as not to be disbarred for fraud. The Bar knows Barry lied on his application. Michelle also had to turn over her law license for her involvement in corruption with the Chicago mayors office.

Reminds me of Matt Damon and a bunch f other Hollywierd types. Outstanding actos and do great when you put words there for them to read. Drooling moonbats when speaking on their own/with their own thoughts and words.

And since so few of us think critically anymore thanks to that skill no longer being part of a basic education, here we are in America 2011. Gee...almost like it was planned that way.

As opposed to being "synaptically befuddled"?

I like that one too.

It's a veritable paradise of prose tonight.

My countdown clock shows 512 days until Jan 21, 2013.

What date are you using or is my clock whacked?

I never got beyond the eighth grade, but if the Obama standard was the norm, guess I never missed much.

And he was said to be the smartest man in the room. He is the affirmative action president—the last thing MLK wanted to see. Thank you Liberal guilt ridden media, thank you Oprah, thank you Hillary for not tearing him apart in the debates. We were saddles with an incompetent and we may even get him for two terms—if his friends can fix the election and run a 3rd party.
