Oh, please. He was a college student who made a few syntax errors. The other "errors" that the author cites aren't errors at all, they are stylistic preferences. What can be seen from the few excerpts is that President Obama had an extensive vocabulary, and a tendency to a pompous debate style which elite institutions like Harvard often reinforce.
So now he was just "a college student?" But that's not what we were told and are constantly reminded by his sycophants--that he is brilliant. If he's that brilliant let's see his college transcripts. Moreover, Law Review is all about writing. It is a journal, after all. But for affirmative action, Obama would not have made Law Review based on his writing samples that have somehow leaked out to the wider public.
The significance of this is that the media is already beating Rick Perry over the head for his lackluster academic career. Let them apply the same standard to Obama. The public deserves to know the facts rather than the hype.
It is well to remember that when the same standard was applied to John Kerry as was used against Bush, Kerry came out second best. Give us the facts and let the public decide who is qualified to be president. Enough of the stealth candidates!
Beating Rick Perry over the head for a lackluster academic career? That's like making a big deal out of an axe murderer having stolen the murder weapon. Seriously Rick Perry and the other wingnut looney tunes don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a general election. All the nutjobs are doing right now is making the GOP look like spineless chumps since no one has the intestinal fortitude to tell them to get lost. That is perhaps with the exception of Christie, who I wouldn't put it past if he ever decides to put himself on the national radar.
Face it, the public did decide who was qualified to be president. We decided on Bush (sort of) and we decided on Obama. And in 2012 we'll decide again, based on who survives the major parties' nominations process.
We all know that college grades are not the sole measure of success as a US president, yes? Otherwise all we have to do is pick from an endless supply of nerds. I do enjoy having a President who is not an embarrassment to the US every time he opens his mouth. We also want a president with business experience, military experience, government service, upstanding morals, photogenic, etc etc. Guess what? There ain't that many out there who are qualified and many who are wouldn't touch the job with a ten-foot barge pole.
As far as I am concerned the last election was a no-brainer after Papa John insulted the collective American intelligence by adding Sarah Palin to the GOP ticket. You folks in the GOP want to be taken seriously, put up some serious candidates for cryin' out loud and stop with the comedians.
"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."
Does anyone remember when David Brooks of the NY Times said Bush should step aside and let Barry start governing?
Countdown until Obama leaves Office: 509 days as of August 29, 2011.
Some folks would probably no doubt therefore tend to agree with the suspicion that 0bama might have apparently not actually written either of his two autobiographies.
I am sure if the media pursued Obama's academic record with the zeal they dogged Bush's academic record, we would find Obama was an average or, below average student.

Well.... we elected a president with no experience and ZERO accomplishments, but we were told not to worry, because he was an intellectual who graduated from Ivy league schools. This president went on to appoint more intellectuals and academics to his administration, and they have turned or nation's economy into a complete disaster zone. At this point, I'm all in favor of electing a president with common sense and a proven record of achievements.
Wapasha I'm sure many agree with your sentiment, at least I do. The question is, do those who fit the bill stand of chance of getting a major party nomination?
I wonder how many other Harvard students have problems with subject-verb agreement?
How fundamental is that?
What a shame those students who worked their ***** off to gain admittance to such a prestigious school have to suffer the embarrassment of being associated with Barrack Obama.
EVERYBODY sometimes has problems with subject-verb agreement. EVERYBODY.
