In short, Obama reminds me a little of myself–at 26. I had left the farm for 9 years to get a BA in classics, PhD in classical philology, and live in Athens for two years of archaeological study-all on scholarships, TAships, research-ships and part-time summer and school jobs tucked under the aegis of the academic, no-consequences world. By the end of endless seminars, papers, theses, debates, discussions, academic get-togethers, I had forgotten much of the culture of the farm where I spent years 1-18.
The Return
Then after the requisite degrees I left academia, and returned to farm 180 acres with my brother and cousin-and sadly was quickly disabused of the world of the faculty lounge...

Actually - he reminds me of a Jr. high schooler!
No experience, a limited view of the world - and terribly dangerous with weapons of any design!
This not even mentioning that he cheats with teleprompters and cheat sheets - of speeches written by another person - Yet taking the credit for being a Great Orator!
Perhaps this is why Hanson, whom I greatly admire, is so charitable toward the Dear Leader.
Sophomoric.
Exactly it.

Bam is incapable of admitting that he is wrong or that some of Bush's ideas are correct. To validate his worst enemies world view would humiliate him, and this is the worst thing that can happen to a Muslim. This is what we face and he will drag us all down before he changes.

This is exactly why he will fail. Educated idiot comes to mind.
I wish I could believe he’s just young and naive. Unfortunately, I think he’s so steeped in anti-American, anti-Christian and anti-free enterprise thinking that he will continue down this path until he is stopped. I just hope that he is stopped by appropriate exposure of his corrupt history and connections and that a full housecleaning takes place. I’d like to see him and his cronies completely discredited and tossed on the scrap heap of history.
I love Hanson but disagree with his conclusion re. Obama.
If Obama wants to remain above room temperature for the rest of his term, he dare not stray from the script written for him by Soros and the rest of his One World handlers.
And why would he: He’s of one mind with them anyway.
“this one makes me scratch my head.”
me too......but then...the comments below VDH’s piece more than made up for it.
Every liberal should read this, but sadly, even if they did they wouldn’t make the connection.
A BA in classics, PhD in classical philology?
LOL
Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Harvard Law School, where he was Juris Doctor (J.D.) (Magna Cum Laude)
Majored at Columbia in political science with a specialization in international relations. The neo-con Hanson has more of a liberal education then the socialist Obama...by any measurement.
Screw em both.
He will never, ever change.
1. Because he's a megga narcissist, change is not even on his radar.
2. Because he's a muslim.
This is why it's so very important that we relieve him of the presidency as soon as possible.
