Wow, Heretic has been consistently conservative in the all the discussions and debates we've had here.  If he's saying this to you, you might need to re-evaluate.

I love rumors like this...

Even if it is true, academics are notorious for their professional jealousy and backbiting. There is also a high level of self delusion in which some people who are prone to fits of professional jealousy find reasons to support their delusions that they were passed over for such advancement by someone else due to nepotism, ass kissing, affirmative action, etc etc etc. The propensity for people to delude themselves as to the reasons for their own mediocrity as compared to someone else who outshines them on every level is rather common. If it were true, I would love to see this high ranking academic. I bet he would be old, fat, balding, and his abilities as an orator would be extremely limited. It is hard to admit that someone else outperforms you not only on the basis of appearance, but the one thing you laud yourself on, your intellect. I bet this guy has some major sour grapes that Barrack Obama beats him on every level.

I say this as someone who is not a supporter of Obama's politics, he is much too moderate for me. I will say Obama is one of the most articulate (if not the most articulate) speakers I have ever seen. He would easily be a favorite professor if I had the luck to have him teach me. Part of being a good professor is being able to communicate ideas in a way that grabs the attention of students, Obama does this in spades. I have seen more than one professor jealous of another on that basis alone, being pissed off that everyone wanted to take a class with a young, dynamic, articulate instructor, instead of falling asleep in someone else's classes....

Amazing that two of three were not started by him and the third is a NATO action with the United States not in the lead.

Just an inconvenient little fact that I'm sure you will ignore along with everything else you keep spouting no matter how many times other people post actual facts to prove you wrong.

You actually think his Domme Michelle is HOT? aye carrumba.

I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back, and he did not have many nice things to say about "Barry." Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn't even considered. A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach. The Board told him he didn't have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor and was hardly an adjunct.

The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).


I imagine a class act like President Obama wouldn`t have much appeal to you or any of your friends.

You want a guy you`d like to have a beer with,if I recall.Right?

Great set a standards there,buddy.

You do know who, under the terms of the treaty, has permanent command of NATO, right RML?

For your viewing pleasure. Do check out the slapping he throws at Donald Trump

If you'd prefer to read about it instead:

Obama mocks Trump's presidential ambitions



I just watched it....

I loved the Trump White House photo....

Actually, Violet, I think of Heretic as being center-right.  But I like his stance here - this world would be a better place if more conservatives and liberals were concerned about what kind of whackadoodles were claiming to represent them.

Ah, yes. The head writer for Saturday Night Live. I'm not sure how funny it was, when he thanked the journalists for doing their jobs so he could do his, after blowing the President like that.

I wasn't impressed with most of his material. There were a few funny jokes but not as many as you'd expect from someone invited to speak at that dinner.

I have to admit, Im looking forward to his whine about it
you know he is going to
wuss



Oh, Lucy, don't you know it.  Sad part about it is I can see him whining cuz liberals didn't like how he *made* Obama unleash his long form birth certificate.  Not because liberals just thought the idiocy of it was a joke...ergo Trump was the joke.  But that we're bitter cuz he accomplished what he set out to do.  As if anyone but birthers needed that affirmation

Is Arizona a sock? Possibly sent back from the future by Democrats to disenchant the multitudes that are on the political fence?
