Really? I don’t remember it being so awesome after a semester in college.

You can always tell you college prof. : “I’m not done yet” :)
“Give me another chance...”

Looking forward to changing that “Incomplete” to ... “Withdrawl Failing” ...

Obama 2009

And of course, the TV cameras aren’t there when you’re doing all this. [Laughter] And when you notice that nobody is paying attention to what you’re doing, just remember, we’ve been through this before. Some of you were involved when we were in Iowa, 30 points down, and all of Washington said, “Oh, it’s over”—hand-wringing and angst and teeth-gnashing. [Laughter] And then last year, just about this time, you’ll recall that the Republicans had just nominated their Vice Presidential candidate, and everybody was—the media was obsessed with it, and cable was 24 hours a day, and “Obama’s lost his mojo,” and—[laughter]. Do you remember all that? [Laughter] There’s something about August going into September—[laughter]—where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up. [Laughter] I don’t know what it is. [Laughter] But that’s what happens.

One can suppose that ‘incomplete’ was a grade Ombama frequently received in college. And Obama was totally fine with it...

Like Vince Lombardi said, “I don’t lose, I merely run out of time.” However, winners receive more courtesy after a loss than losers do. Perhaps this author’s argument isn’t very good?

As Malkin says...“Incomplete” is actually good news for those who fear the day anybody in this administration says “our work here is finished”...

Don't know about anyone else, but this old-sounding "forward" theme is boring and meaningless to any except those who can link it philosophically with its roots.

To those folks, "forward" must evoke images of utopian bliss with them in charge of all the rest of us, with all of us "pursuing" equality in misery, and with the planners and controllers enjoying perfect freedom to impose their will on "the rich."

There's just one little potential fly in the ointment of "forward." After the already-created wealth is "redistributed," and China calls in the debt and interest, after the printing presses have worn out and there's no funding for replacement even of them--after the Chicago "pseudointellectuals" have had their way with America, overruling the real intellectuals who framed the Declaration of Independence and Constitution for a free people--after all that, who will believe that America will have moved forward since 2008?

For any who missed it on FR a few years ago, the following announcement and summary of a Conference agenda may be of some interest in evaluating the above paragraphs. More information is at the web site noted at the end.

The Center for Public Intellectuals & The University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC)
April 19th-20th, 2002, Conference
[Participants include: William/Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Sen Barack Obama]

April 19th-20th, 2002
Chicago Illinois Union
828 S. Wolcott

This conference is part of the Center's mission of helping to create a more engaged civil society, working towards social change, fostering coalitions between theorists and activists, and combating anti-intellectualism in contemporary culture. It will be both a celebration of ideas and a rigorous examination of the roles and responsibilities that intellectuals play in society.

I. Why Do Ideas Matter? (a keynote panel)

We introduce the “meta” theme of the conference by hearing “success stories” from diverse voices discussing their experiences intervening intellectually.

Timuel Black, Chicago activist; Prof. Emeritus, City Colleges of Chicago
Lonnie Bunch, President, Chicago Historical Society
Bernardine Dohrn, Northwestern University Law School, Children and Family Justice Center
Gerald Graff, UIC, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Richard Rorty, Stanford University, Philosophy

III. Lunch and Public Encounters

Alternative breakout tours led by Chicago activists. Tours of Bronzeville and other communities, and visits to organizations that are working on partnering theorists with activists.

IV. Intellectuals in Times of Crisis
Experiences and applications of intellectual work in urgent situations.

William Ayers, UIC, College of Education; author of Fugitive Days
Douglass Cassel, Northwestern University, Center for International Human Rights
Cathy Cohen, University of Chicago, Political Science
Salim Muwakkil, Chicago Tribune; In These Times
Barack Obama, Illinois State Senator
Barbara Ransby, UIC, African-American Studies (moderator)

The Center for Public Intellectuals
University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC):

But they’re so “independent”.... of men, husbands, fathers, etc...

and gov’t programs make that “independence” possible.

There are some aspects of our life that aren’t under government control,

so I suppose they are “incomplete” in their accomplishments.

An incomplete is as bad as an F, where I come from.

He’s done! Stick a fork in him.
He gets his pink slip in 2 months.

The fork-in-potato is not what we want!!!!

That’s not what you’d like it to mean, aka “stick a fork in him, he’s done.”

For a baked potato, you actually stick a fork in it BEFORE it really gets started cookin’.

We can’t survive Obama if he really “get’s cookin’”.
