- NOT BECAUSE HE IS TIRED.
- IT'S BECAUSE HE'S JUST NOT VERY SMART.
- WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER SCROLLING A CLEVERLY WORDED SPEECH, HIS LACK OF INTELLIGENCE COMES ACROSS.
- DON'T BELIEVE ME!?
- WHAT'S YOUR PROOF? THAT HE WAS HARVARD LAW REVIEW PRESIDENT!?
- WELL, THAT INDICATES NOTHING.
- WHY!?
- BECAUSE HE WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE LAW REVIEW; HE WAS NOT SELECTED.
- YUP: OBAMA BECAME THE FIRST "BLACK" TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE LAW REVIEW AT HARVARD IN 1990.
- THAT WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAW REVIEW WAS NOT CHOSEN ON THE BASIS OF GRADES, BUT BY AN ELECTION OF STUDENTS.
- THIS CHANGE WAS MADE DELIBERATELY TO ASSIST LESS SMART MINORITY STUDENTS TO GET POSITIONS ON THE LAW REVIEW.
- STILL DON'T BELIEVE ME?
HERE'S HOW THE NYTIMES REPORTED IT AT THE TIME, IN 1990:First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law ReviewAND IT WAS NOT A FIRST BALLOT VICTORY:
By FOX BUTTERFIELD, SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: February 6, 1990
LEAD: The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School. Change in Selection System ...
... Mr. Obama was elected after a meeting of the review's 80 editors that convened Sunday and lasted until early this morning, a participant said.
Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.
That system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.
- IT TOOK SEVERAL BALLOTS AND ALL NIGHT!
- ALL IT PROVES IS THAT OBAMA WAS A POLITICIAN WHO EXPOLITED HIS BLACKNESS AS MUCH THEN AS HE DOES NOW.
- AND IT EXPLAINS WHY HE MAKES SO MANY GAFFES.
- I BETCHYA HE ONLY GOT INTO HARVARD BECAUSE OF HIS BLACKNESS, TOO - AND NOT ON MERIT ALONE.
- WHY WON'T HE RELEASE HIS APPLICATION OR HIS GRADES?
- WHAT IS HE HIDING?
ASIDE: IN THE PHOTO ABOVE, NOTICE HOW GLEEFULLY OBAMA HOLDS THE LAW REVIEW CUDGEL, ER UM ... I MEAN SCEPTER!?!?
IT'S A WEAPON, AND HIS JOY AT WIELDING IT REFLECTS HIS EGOMANIA AND HIS ANGER.
MORE ON BOTH HERE - FROM PUNDITARIAN.
Obama graduated magna cum laude at Harvard. Good Luck telling the world that he's dumb.
ReplyDeletewhy won't he release his grades and application?
ReplyDeletewhy does he make more mistakes than any candidate ever?
Harvard Law School recognizes the achievement of attaining and maintaining high grades through graduation honors. Students who graduate with a general average of 7.20 and above are honored with the distinction of graduating summa cum laude. The top 10% of the class, excluding summa, are honored with the distinction of graduating magna cum laude.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.law.harvard.edu/ocs/employers/HLS_Grading_System.htm
harvard law doesn't GRADE each class on a bell curve.
there is grade inflation as a result: B might be the average grade in a class.
as the hls notes: the honorary
are given for a set point total (7.2 average and above), or a point total in relation to the rest of the class.
DESPITE BEING ITS PREZ, OBAMA NEVER PUBLISHED ONE SINGLE SOLITARY ARTICLE TO THE HLR.
after law school he got ONE clerkship offer: from ther CHICAGO MACHINE CONNECTED LIB JUDGE: AB MIKVA.
obama wanted no part of lawyering EXCEPT to further his poltical career:
David B. Wilkins , the Kirkland and Ellis professor of law, said he advised Obama to become a Supreme Court Clerk. "Obama recognized the honor in pursuing that post," Wilkins said, but quickly added that he wasn’t interested.
“He said that he wanted to write a book about his life and his father, go back to Chicago, get back into the community, and run for office there. He knew exactly what he wanted and went about getting it done,” Wilkins said. [ http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_Obama/ObamaEducation.htm]
OBAMA WAS MOST DEEPLY COMMITTED TO POLITICS FOR SELF-PROMOTION: JUST AS OBAMA USED POLITICS TO GET HIMSELF THE PREZ-SHIP OF THE HLR.
THAT'S WHY HE WENT TO CHI-TOWN AND HOOKED UP WITH THE MACHINE:
THIS MACHINE MADE OBAMA WHO HE IS AND OWNS HIS ASS. SALON [ http://dir.salon.com/story/opinion/feature/2008/01/14/obama/index.html ]:
When Barack Obama was 22 years old, just out of Columbia University, he took a $10,000-a-year job as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago.
It was a shrewd move for a young black man with an interest in politics.
Had he stayed in New York, "you would never have heard of him," says Lou Ransom, the Defender's current executive editor.
"He may have been a very good lawyer and maybe got elected to some office, but if he hadn't come to Chicago, he would not have had the kind of support to push him where he is now."
BY KIND OF SUPPORT HE MEANS THE MACHINE - OF WHICH TED KENNEDY (WHOSE FAMILY OWNED THE HUGE CHICAGO MART FROM 1945 TO 1988, AND WHO IS STILL TIED TO THE DALEY MACHINE) AND ANTOIN REZKO ARE BIG AND LONGTIME PLAYERS.
obama is as smart as a ssssssssssnake. and as sly as a fox.
he has fooled many people.
in college.
in law school.
and in politics.
HERE'S A GOOD OBAMA QUOTE FOR YOU (it shows his utter and complete disingenuousness):
As he wrote in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, Obama discovered a technique for allaying the suspicions of the white people with whom he came into contact:
It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied; they were relieved - such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time. (Pages 94-95 - DREAMS OF MY FATHER).
DAVID: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A DUPE!
So, I'm sure you graduated from Columbia and have a Harvard Law Degree. I'm also sure that the University of Chicago would have let you teach constitutional law?
ReplyDeleteThe other candidate seems to be a genius... McCain only got into the Navy because of daddy. Then he proceeded to graduate next to last in his class of 700. He has referred to "Czechloslovokia" four times over the summer.
i have two degrees each from a major university. my masters was earned in a year.
ReplyDeleteYou did not read the article very well.
ReplyDeleteMale white students were the first to benefit under the new system, which was started in 1970's.
A white women, Susan Estrich, the first women to be Editor only benefited after 1977.
There were no African American editors until 1990, Obama was the first.
"Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank."
"That old system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition."
