This just confirms to me that Harvard is more like a colony than it is a school. In a colony, everyone has their own forte where they pitch in something for the preservation of the colony, no matter whether it's worthy of mention or not. We found Barry's place in that colony. "Hey...you go write a newsletter. It doesn't have to be perfect. That's not the point. It's something to keep you busy. Oh, and since you're a black Affirmative Action student, it will make your resume look good. "
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.
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.
A-HEM! Hate to bring this up, but I know how Dubbyah got into Yale (Legacy). What I don't understand is how he got out with a degree. The guy can't string a four-word sentence together without making at least three serious grammatical errors.
None of it is accessible. Yale probably incinerated anything he wrote to avoid embarrassment. Didn't he say something about having been a cokehead until he was 28 anyway?
It isn't important but I'm curious why Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license a mere 5 years after receiving it. Her Wikipedia page says it was "no longer necessary for the work she was doing". BS. A "voluntary surrender" means either you give it up or it will be taken away from you. (Like how we "voluntarily surrender" money to the IRS.) If a license isn't needed you let it expire, you don't voluntarily surrender it.
Which only shows how much you don't know. Read and educate yourself...
Here's the letter from the original source if anybody cares to read it:
Record Retrospective: Obama on affirmative action - Election 2008 - The Harvard Law Record - Harvard University Law School (http://www.hlrecord.org/2.4475/record-retrospective-obama-on-affirmative-action-1.577511?pagereq=1 - broken link)
Thanks for posting this. If the RWNJs take the time to read it, their fears about our Prsident's inability to express himself 20 years ago will most certainly be put to rest. That is, of course, if they can even understand what he wrote - complex sentences and big words can be so confusing...
