"Historian."
A most desired honorific.
A distinguished individual....no doubt with "Doctor" before his name.
There are a number of members of this board who defend their views by pointing to some 'historians' for support...but, in truth, most called by that title are simply scribes who know which way the political winds are blowing.
Translation? Often, no more than flunkies for the party in power.
1. Case in point....Michael Beschloss.
"Michael Richard Beschloss[1](born November 30, 1955) is an American historian. A specialist in the United States presidency, he is the author of nine books. In November 2013, he was appointed as a contributing columnist on history forThe New York Times.[2]His regular "HistorySource" column appears in the "Upshot" section of the newspaper.[3]It is also published in the print SundayNew York Times." Michael Beschloss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2. This running dog, lackey of the Left, hopped on the Barack Obama bandwagon early on.....when the Liberal/Progressive/Democrats elites were slobbering over this no-accomplishment amateur ideologue, and...no joke....referring to Obama as the messiah, as God himself.
3. Beschloss....the 'historian'...and ' specialist in the United States presidency,' was being interviewed on the Don Imus Radio Show....and, in a sterling example of his expertise as an historian.....claimed that Obama was the smartest man ever to apply for the office of President.
Unfortunately for him....and unexpectedly....Imus questioned him....
"November 11, 2008
Historian Michael Beschloss was interviewed Monday on Don Imus’ radio show and he made the claim that President-elect Obama’s IQ is off the charts and that he is the smartest president we have ever had. Here is the meat of the conversation:
Quote:
Historian Michael Beschloss: Yeah. Even aside from the fact of electing the first African American President and whatever one’s partisan views this is a guy whose IQ is off the charts — I mean you cannot say that he is anything but a very serious and capable leader and — you know — You and I have talked about this for years …
Imus: Well. What is his IQ?
Historian Michael Beschloss: … our system doesn’t allow those people to become President, those people meaning people THAT smart and THAT capable
Imus: What is his IQ?
Historian Michael Beschloss: Pardon?
Imus: What is his IQ?
Historian Michael Beschloss: Uh. I would say it’s probably - he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President.

You have to fast forward to about 13 minutes in to get the good stuff. So I’m thinking that I would like to know the historian’s IQ. I’m thinking that it’s somewhere around catatonic or idiot. Too much Kool-Aid.
How can someone claim that an IQ is off the charts when they don’t even know what that person’s IQ is and for that matter, where the hell are Obama’s school records period? Did he even have good grades? Did he have good grades when he was snorting cocaine? He’s hiding all his transcripts in his bid to be transparent, so we’ll never know.
And what is even more laughable - does this Beschloss guy even know the IQs of any of the presidents. You know that Reagan sure was an idiot. And how about that Jefferson guy, all he could do was write a Declaration of Independence. Washington sure was stupid, he was just a military genius. And Madison, don’t even get me started. Obama hasn’t done a damn thing yet and he is already a genius and I heard some poll today that has a 60%+ approval rating for him. Never mind that he only got 52% of the vote."
Obama Is Our Smartest President?
And we have all seen what an abject failure Obama is....judge 'historians' in that light.
