The great mystery is how so many people could be so willfully blind about the issue.

In 12 years, Obama produced not even a single scholarly paper, no research papers authored or co-authored by him.

Clearly, the intellectual elites have no real concept of what it means to exercise executive skills.<br /><br />Of course, many intellectual and writerly types love Obama because they believe that his presidency increases their status in society.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41611346329531639252010-12-16T07:53:29.999-08:002010-12-16T07:53:29.999-08:00Even if Obama *was* an excellent writer and storyt...Even if Obama *was* an excellent writer and storyteller, this would not qualify him the be President.<br /><br />One of the main problems we have today is that so many of the Word People fail to understand that there is such as thing as executive skill, and that this skill is nontrivial. People tend to over-value their own skills, especially when they are lacking in *other* skills, and there are a lot of writers, journalists, professors, lawyers, actors, advertising people, etc who think it's ALL about the narrative.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-47519664011280641902010-12-16T07:08:18.395-08:002010-12-16T07:08:18.395-08:00I have always found Obama to be disingenuous, or p...I have always found Obama to be disingenuous, or paradoxial (is he punch drunk?). <br /><br />He is not a writer, and I doubt much of a reader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-66218285564592998552010-12-15T12:54:03.889-08:002010-12-15T12:54:03.889-08:00a great story teller Obama may be but when it come...a great story teller Obama may be but when it comes to the real world so much of what he includes in his stories is just plain false or an outright lie ...<br /><br />That is why he can't sell anymore ... we already drove off the lot with the first lemon he sold us (his campaign) and we simply don't believe what he says anymore ...<br /><br />All he had going for him were his words and now that he has proven to be a fabulist his one tool has become dull and useless ...<br /><br />Just look at his new wonderful tax agreement. Some have claimed that he has shown his moderate side by agreeing to this. But, then he goes to the press conference and announces that he'll fight hard to recind it in 2012. I guess he could be considered a temporary moderate then but thats hardly someone that moderates will then vote for in 2012.<br /><br />Big hat and big boots, no cattle.The Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554055593581812426noreply@blogger.com
