He did not stand out – in fact, his students recall that he obsessed over race, class, and gender issues while offering less of an emphasis on more important aspects of Constitutional Law. This, coupled with his lack of legal scholarship, indicates that despite substantial “innate intelligence” O is probably no more familiar with the law than many law students. He’s made horrific gaffes on the campaign trail about the Nuremberg tribunals and the role of the executive branch. (Of course, his supporters used mental gymnastics after the fact to make it seem like he knew what he was talking about).

McCain: “McCain is showing signs of senility.” They justify this absurd claim by pointing to his age, health and the stretching of his message way too early in the campaign.

Palin: “She wants to tell you how to run your family.” They claim that abortion isn’t even the issue, rather that birth control products will no longer be covered by insurance in the McCain/Palin administration. McCain did the right thing when he voted against requiring insurance companies to cover birth control products if they covered Viagra or a similar products.

Do they have no shame?

When questioned about his lack of executive experience to be POTUS, Obama’s new standard response is to point to his skilled management of an 18-month-old campaign for President.

Like my buddy says, the only thing Obama (and Biden) has ever run is his mouth – and that’s nothing to be proud of.

The All Talk, No Class, Duo.

I wonder if Ronald Reagan knew how to type a letter in triplicate? Which is a roughly equivalent skill.

Reagan wrote on legal pads– constantly.

Look up this book:

Reagan, In His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan That Reveal His Revolutionary Vision for America

Between the time he was governor of California and he ran for President, he did five-minute syndicated radio addresses sponsored by GE.

Each brodcast took about two sides of a legal sheet. Reagan gave them to the secretaries to type up, and instructed them to destroy the originals. They wisely disregarded his instructions.

The authors of this book were researching in the Reagan Library and came across these original legal sheets. They are most fascinating because they reprinted them showing additions and deletions, which gives even more insights into RR’s thought processes. These addresses covered just about every domestic and foreign policy position RR took during his Presidency.
