Re: Report: Malaysia Airlines flight crashes in Ukraine
Oh, yes I read that. They were quite careful with their wording, doing their best to try and say he was a professor, without actually saying. I heard an interview with an actual professor there shortly after Obama was elected. Basically he said Obama was pretty quiet, kept to himself, nothing outstanding, and wasn't around much. They used to say hello to each other, then Obama refused to even look at him when he found out he was a Republican.
Funny, you could be describing all those that voted for him and put him in office. Yes, highly unlikely, but it happened. I would NEVER have believed that a guy so obviously unqualified could even get considered, let alone get elected.
Well, you did say we only wanted to see his transcripts because he is (half) black. That's a far cry from bringing up affirmative action.I didn't say it was racism. I said it was playing the race card. One can focus on race without being a racist. I was accused of playing the race card and I replied that I was responding to someone - you - who brought up race first.
The University of Chicago itself has a note on their website (since it became such a Frequently Asked Question) explaining that Obama's title of Senior Lecture is a full equivalent to a professor. Here, don't take my word for it; take theirs:

I can't fathom Columbia University and Harvard University thinking "huh, we got this mediocre student here, Barack Obama, a nobody by the way, coming from some mixed family, an immigrant father who left the country and a mother who died, raised by his middle-class grand parents. Huh, out of the blue, let's just pretend his work is outstanding and give him our highest grades. Who cares for our standards we've been upholding strictly for more than a century? We just feel like whisking along the mediocre kid." My friend, this is HIGHLY unlikely.

Palin, is a rock solid conservative, so she's got my support. Like it or not, she was way more qualified that Obama, and in hindsight, could not have done a worse job that Obama.There's been people even less qualified who got offered senior positions - the most blatant example being Sarah Palin, a barely literate woman...
