The MIA President

[mudwhistle]

Ive never seen Obama be accused of being a micro manager.

I thought you were the type to pay attention to the talking points.

lol, nice haymaker.

Yup....like a mouse farting in a hurricane.

You could accuse Obama of being a micro-manager if he ever showed up for work.

He hasn't convened his cabinet in months.

But what more can one expect from a guy who fucked off all of his life.

Following his graduation from Columbia, Obama claims he worked as a research assistant for a high powered consulting firm. This position he supposedly held has turned out to be misleading and nothing short of a joke. A colleague has since reported what Obama really did: He actually worked for a small company that published a business forecasting newsletter. Obama would take economic reports from other countries and collate them into a three ring binder to be sent out to subscribers. He didn’t do any legal work for them. In fact, he did work typical of an intern.

After Obama graduated from Harvard Law, he did not to seek work as a clerk for a prominent liberal judge, as most of his Harvard colleagues did. The work of a law clerk is demanding and it is doubtful that Obama was capable of completing such a challenge. Instead, Obama was hired by a Chicago law firm. But he didn’t do any heavy lifting there either. Instead, he spent all his time writing notes for his first book. As Allison Davis, a founding partner of the firm wrote:

Some of my partners weren’t happy with that, Barrack sitting there with his key board on his lap and his feet up on the desk writing the book.

No (one) can find any law briefs written by Obama at this time. It appears that he was just “parked” at the law firm, preparing himself for a political career. Indeed, Obama will NOT release his billing records for this time period, so it is suspected that he is hiding the fact that he didn’t engage in any substantial work for this law firm.

Obama at the University of Chicago Law School

After he accepted this position, Obama’s incompetence was exposed. Here is what one blogger, familiar with the exams Obama gave while “teaching” at the University of Chicago:

______

But it gets even worse when you try to read the Constitutional Law exams at Chicago; for instance, here’s an exam from 2003 [when Obama was 42 years old] where the preposition doesn’t agree with the verb:

Law week, two men, Richard and Michael, walked into you office and asked for your help.

You learn that they are a monogamous, gay couple who have been living
together for the past ten years. Both men are successful architects, and after devoting the past decade on their respective careers, they have now decided that they want to marry and raise children together.

Setting aside the “Law” and “you office” typos, a man doesn’t devote a decade on his career – he devotes a decade to his career.

But of course that’s the same pattern we saw back in 1990, and which persisted throughout the 1990s and into this decade – the nouns don’t agree with the verbs, and the verbs don’t agree with the prepositions – and that’s just sweating the little stuff.

The other night, a few of us got together and were trying to parse some of the gibberish in the old exam answer sheets, and after about fifteen minutes of reading stuff like this, we just threw our hands up in the air, and begged, “No mas!”

A more interesting question arises if we assume that a court rejects Helen’s claim that a fundamental right is at stake, and instead chose to subject PFVA to rational basis review.

The recent Romer opinion may not overturn (in fact, it doesn’t even mention) Bowers, but it nevertheless indicates that even under rational, basis review, the Equal Protection Clause does not permit classifications based merely on a majority’s “distaste” of a particular group – at least not insofar as the classification is not merely directed at the group’s ability to engage in particular conduct that the majority finds disturbing, but rather, is “class legislation” that potentially disadvantages the group in a range of activities unrelated to any particular conduct.

By our count, that’s approximately 10.75 different negations in one sentence. But then somebody noticed this little gem from the 1996 answer sheet:

Which spin on Romer the Court might adopt is anybody’s guess. What is safe to say is that the views of particular justices on the desirability of rearing in children in homosexual households would play a big part in the decision.

This paragraph doesn’t even make sense. Obama was not only incomprehensible in his writing, but he was obsessed with group identity and other bogus legal theories. During the presidential campaign Obama claimed he was a “Constitutional law professor” at the University of Chicago Law School, but this is not true. He was listed on the Chicago Law School website as a “Senior Lecturer in Law.” That is not the same as a law professor. As Lynn Sweet writes in the Chicago Sun-Times:

The University of Chicago released a statement on Thursday saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) ‘served as a professor’ in the law school—but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed on Friday. ‘He did not hold the title of professor of law,’ said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the school, on East 60th St. in Chicago. . . .

The university statement said, ‘From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School.’ The school probably did not mean to imply that Obama became a University of Chicago professor a year out of law school. But the word ‘served’ is key— Nagorsky said Obama carried out, or served, a function of a professor—teaching a core curriculum course while a senior lecturer—while at the same time not holding down that rank.. . . .

While Obama was also part of the law school community, his appointment was not part of an academic search process and he did not have any scholarly research obligations which professors often do.

It appears as if the University of Chicago babysat him as well. Not having to complete any research like real professors do, Obama was free to continue his hard left networking and community organizing in preparation for his political career.

He never wanted the job...only the prestige as a Resume-Stuffer...

This section reminds me of the story I've related several times on the Amnesty Bill:

State Senate Career

While in the Illinois State Senate, his accomplishments were meager. In fact, he didn’t show up much of the time. Records show he didn’t even bother to vote much of the time either. He also voted “present” more than any other legislators – 130 times — which simply means you’re “neutral” on the issue being voted upon. The few bills he introduced were handed to him by veteran legislators.

He was handed 26 bills by a fellow senator his first years as a state senator, bills all written by others. He was known as a “Bill Jacker,” which is someone who steals other people’s legislative ideas and then claims credit for them. Even the so called “ethics” legislation he often mentioned on the campaign trail was a fraud. This was an already crafted bill created by Senator Emil Jones. Jones allowed Obama to take a lead on it to help his career. This is not a sign of genius.

U.S. Senate Career

In the U.S. Senate Obama once again repeated his “bill jacking” actions. He often claimed credit for bills he was merely a co-sponsor of but had no involvement in creating. When Texas State Senator Kirk Watson was questioned by Chris Matthews to list any of Obama’s legislative accomplishments, he was unable to name one. The exchange can be viewed here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGeu_4Ekx-o

Following a number of meetings involving intense negotiations on the 2006 immigration “reform” bill (the amnesty bill), there was a press conference. Obama showed up and actually spoke as if he was part of the negotiations when in fact he had nothing to do with the crafting of the bill.

McCain accused Obama of “partisan postering” since the few meetings they had never produced any legislation. Maybe he is not the only one who is sick of his lies and stupidity.

Obama even took credit for a banking bill which disinvested money from Iran:

Just this past – this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran as a way of racheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.

The problem is, Obama was not a member of the Banking Committee and had nothing to do with the bill.

Having very little legislative accomplishments and stealing other people’s ideas is not a sign of brilliance. It’s a sign of laziness and arrogance.

Obama got into Harvard only because his dad studied Keynesian (macro wealth transfer) economics there. I thought everyone knew that.

Yep...

SOURCE

And why he wrote "Dreams From My Father". And why he follows it implicitly...and why his other writings are under lock and key.

Interesting read and that is one of my favorite websites.

BS post of the day. Obama noted earlier he was not concerned with billionaires arguing over contracts. Pay attention for once.

Link please?

Christ on a crutch, do we really need to go over those stats again?

So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.

Yeah, because me being a racist means that the linked article on Obama being a "Micromanager", from the Wall Street Journal, doesn't exist?
