From Murray's writing regarding Obama:

"I can't vote for him. He is an honest-to-God lefty. He apparently has learned nothing from the 1960s. His Supreme Court nominees would be disasters. And maybe he is too green and has lived too much of his adult life in a politically correct bubble. But the other day he talked about race in ways that no other major politician has tried to do, with a level of honesty that no other major politician has dared, and with more insight than any other major politician possesses. Not bad."

Comment:

The question is "How could Obama have learned anything from the 1960's'

Obama was a baby born in August 1961.

Obama was just four years old in August of 1965 and 9 years old in 1970. In the 1970's, Obama was in middle school and high school doing what pre-teens and teenagers did during the 1970's growing up in beautiful Hawaii.

Obama's interpretation of the 1960's comes from several major sources ---family background, religion or lack of religion, education from books and teachers, peer group and friends-----plus; later, the three universities he attended on the mainland.

Murray should revisit this putting the timeline into perspective.
