Do you realize...
That "editor of the Harvard Law Review" is almost the ONLY example I am ever given of how smart Obama is? Even there, he didn't particularly distinguish himself. He did graduate magna cum laude, indicating (at Harvard) a level of eighty percent on the general scale, or Honors in any department.
That's not chopped liver, but I've been paying attention to his political career, not his college career. I have yet to be dazzled by any serious original thinking in this area, or any sign of solid principles.
To be fair, I wasn't that impressed by McCain in this area, either.
