- Call Me Ishmael



I was telling someone last week that I really feel sorry for Obama sometimes. I think if anyone anywhere had explained to him how the world really works, he might have been able to understand it. Regrettably, he was instead inculcated in academia, where almost no one has any idea what drives the great wheel of life. Instead they have this great invented drama of the villainous rich, their victims the poor, and the redistributive heroes.

In fact, if he gets fired for his anti-business excesses and those of his staff, it will undoubtedly be the very first time he's ever been held accountable for anything he's ever done. That's the way it is with academics. When they get things wrong, it's always someone else who pays.

Many have questioned how Obama got into Harvard Law School. It's time to question what, if anything, he learned there and how he managed to graduate?

Moreover, he fancied himself a lecturer in Constitutional Law after he graduated but seems not to have learned much about the Constitution. So, one can also reasonably ask what kind of socialist crap poses for Constitutional Law at Harvard Law School?

I wonder if HLS takes pride in this alumnus?

RFNJ readers should be sure to check out the Aug. 29 issue of The New Yorker - interview with Justice Clarence Thomas. As a corollary to "flynful's" point, it is well time we question the very institution that is the Ivy League in the US. While I will not begrudge these schools in the areas of the applied sciences... I would very much question their superiority in the realm of the liberal arts. It is this reader's opinion that the weight and value of an Ivy League education is so completely distorted in our culture as to render a degree from one of these institutions suspect, in my eyes at least, not to mention Judge Thomas. The next presidential candidate with a degree from Humble U. would be likely to garner a vote from me based on that quality alone. The Ivy League has its head up its ass. Perhaps that's how BHO got in, not to mention GWB.

I made that very point right here.

The best employee I've had in recent years was from a small catholic college, and he decided to leave Wall Street to join the military.
