I didn't bother to click the link given the reports that it was all anonymous-based accusations. We'll leave that tactic to Sen. Harry Reid, the NYT and the WaPo.
Nonetheless I don't doubt that Pres. Obama was out of his depth at U of Chicago. He doesn't know how to use "lie" and "lay," and during the debates he misused the phrase "beg the question," which does not mean "provoke the question." Rather it's a logic term that means essentially to assume that which is to be proven. These are common errors, but they are errors that any U of C student would have had squared away by soph. year.
U of C is kind of like the Navy Seals of American universities. They outwork everyone, with the possible exception of MIT. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. are all great schools but they are all 2nd tier to Chicago. Chicago sacrifices nothing to pure academics. Case in point, I don't think there has ever been a U of C student to go into the NBA. Harvard, Stanford, and Yale all have sent people to the NBA.
All of this doesn't mean that Obama is not a very sharp guy and smooth operator. It just means that he is not much of an academic.
Yea, not much of an academic.
That's why he's a double Ivy guy. You know...most of those people aren't very academic.
That's because the smart guys go to schools like Ole Miss and Texas.
I swear, you guys try to hold it in, but you can't. It always manages to find a way out.
The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school....
RWNJ website slags on Democratic president, citing "unnamed sources."

Dems tend to have a double standard when it comes to things like Ivy League education. George W gets an MBA from Harvard, but he's an idiot? Doesn't that make it completely hypocritical to cite Obama's "Ivy League education" as proof of Obama's intelligence??
I think Obama is a very intelligent man with tremendous charisma. He just completely clueless as a president because he doesn't seem to know how to lead. He doesn't know how to compromise. He has no earthly clue how to bring people with opposing ideologies together to work for the common good. Instead his tenure has increased the division in this nation. No president has presided over a more bitterly politically divided country than he is now -- not in living memory.
True, the OP is citing a completely biased source obviously. But what truth do we honestly have on all matters Obama? How much is cleaned up or sanitized to make him sound better? How much is real. His college records are a closely guarded state secret. When you act like you have something to hide, people start to get suspicious and create conspiracy theories. But I'd like to see a real source on what the OP posted before I consider it credible.
I tend to agree with you, but then again, what fool would go public with this, after seeing the depth of the scandals that go after political enemies of Obama.
Sarah Palin just came out "guns ablazing" with her latest criticism of the President...yet these pansies have less balls than she to do the same???

The Left will say Bush is an elite WASP and thus got into the Ivies not on merit but family ties while Obama got in on merit. However Obama was a mediocre student and was only accepted because he belongs to a group where mediocre students and worse dominates. Universities desperate to get in more Blacks would have saw Obama as a good catch. Well spoken from the far reaches of empire, Black on paper but not like those Blacks up in Harlem.
The fact that Obama transferred to Columbia speaks volumes. It is extremely rare to transfer to an Ivy. Columbia wanted Obama badly.
The first debate against Romney proved how lightweight he is intellectually. Romney carved him up and spit him out leaving Obama a sputtering, stuttering mess. Still he won though.
