Obama is much smoother.

It helps to be a sociopath.

[Cicero]

overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."

Actually, it was barely passed after months of corrupt maneuvering and buying of reluctant congressmen. So, that is a lie, too.

[jazusamo]

Exactly, Tax-chick. I’ll bet Dr. Sowell knows it but didn’t want to say it.

[jazusamo]

Yes, it was very close in the House and not one Republican voted for it in the House or Senate.

[GOPJ]

Obama went to law school, right?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Obama is much smoother.

“It helps to be a sociopath.”

LOL!!

WINNER!

[jazusamo]

Well, he says he did. :-)

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Obama went to law school, right?”

Well.....he was enrolled......

[infowarrior]

Obama went to law school, right?

I've heard rumors that he actually graduated Harvard Law School, but, absent any available transcripts, they remain merely rumors...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

BRAVO Mr. Sowell.

[Tax-chick]

Well, he says he did.

Could we see his transcripts? His LSAT scores? His undergrad transcript? His SAT results? His ... birth certificate???

[CharacterCounts]

I disagree with Sowell on this. I can always tell when Obama is lying. If his mouth is moving he is lying.

[jazusamo]

Amen.

[tet68]

the media that exposed Nixon is covering for Obama.

As they have from the beginning.

Hanging a few of the most biased media would
probably cure the rest or at least make them
somewhat introspective.(I’m not sure that’s the
word I want to use, but maybe you all get my
drift.)

[jazusamo]

You may want to consider for your ping list.

[Tenlein]

I worked in a university Registrar’s Office for a long time and although transcripts of courses and grades could not be released to third parties, dates of enrollment and degree information COULD - to anyone who asked for it, UNLESS the student put themselves in a sort of “witness protection” status. They usually didn’t do that, because they needed employers to be able to call and verify the degree. But maybe Obama’s executive order to seal his records included even this information. If not, anyone should be able to contact the Registrar there and get a certified letter of enrollment/verification of degree.

[jazusamo]

Introspective sounds like the right word to me:

Adj. 1. introspective - given to examining own sensory and perceptual experiences

[mrsmel]

One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring.

I wouldn't call it a highly developed talent-that would imply he had to work at it, have some dicsipline. I regard it more as a symptom of his sociopathy. He can't help being a liar, it's what a narcissist does.
