I'm very confused because Obama's a smart man. So why would he do something this stupid?
Perhaps he's not that smart?
No reason to believe that at all.
1. Like I said, his foreign policy has been brilliant till now.
2. His ability to use social media and the Internet is nothing short of amazing. He pioneered the use of crowdfunding in politics and took Howard Dean's crude use of social media further than anyone ever had. His use of social media was the main reason he was able to wrestle the Dem nomination away from Hillary when she was the obvious, foregone conclusion. Palin is the only other pol to use social media. She's very good at it but not in Obama's league.
3. He's very good at building coalitions. He's reached out to the Clintons and won them over after a bruising primary. He's used the Sec of State position to mend fences, getting Hillary and then Kerry there. He's united the Democratic Party, no easy thing to do.
4. Harvard doesn't admit dummies. Nor does the Law Review take dummies as editors.
Boy oh boy, where to begin.
Harvard doesn't admit dummies, ever hear of "legacy admissions?" Why do you think Harvard has such a huge endowment?
If former congressman Patrick "Patches" Kennedy with his 70 i.q. wanted to go to Harvard Law school he's going! Of course there'd be a big fat check involved. His father Ted went to Harvard but was expelled for cheating.
None of the Kennedys even JFK were the sharpest knives in the drawer with the exception of old Joe. The mother's side was the weakest link, drunks, crooked politicians, ("Honey Fitz") mental illness, etc, etc. Real "Royalty" there.
Then, there's the "Affirmative Action" program. Evidently even if you're only half black you qualify. (I wonder where the cut-off line is?)
You also qualify if you *say* that you're "Native American" but you're not like senator "Laughing Cloud" of Massachusetts.
"Harvard" is the "oldest" college in the U.S., why some people think that it is the "best" I don't know.
If you went to Harvard Med School there's no differance than if you went to say the U. of Nebraska Med School. They're both M.D.s fully qualified. What do you drive, a Ford or a Chevy?
As for building coalitions, who in their right mind would want a coalition with the sociopathic Clintons?
Oh sure, she did such a bang up job as sec of state! And NOW look who Erkel put in there! John Fucking Kerry?
Steven, did you ever read that book, "The Peter Principle? I'm starting to think that Erkel uses that book as a hiring manual.
And, imho getting the U.S. involved in the problems of foreign countries and civil wars is not "brilliant." It's "brilliant" to stay out of the problems of foreign countries and their civil wars. That's not what we're paying our taxes for.
Look at Libya and Egypt. Boy, what successes they are! (As they'd say in Ireland, "Fookin' Brilliant.")
A long time ago in July of 1968 I came home on a hot, humid afternoon to find my mother and aunt crying in the kitchen.
I knew right away what had happened, my cousin Bob had been killed in Vietnam in the U.S. Army after being there for only three weeks. Forever "19."
He had a "brilliant" sense of humor and was highly intelligent and wanted to become an electrical engineer when he got out of the Army.
Presidents should be keeping us out of foreign wars, not trying to get us involved in them!
Foreign policy? I want to see Erkel's "Detroit Policy."
