This was my reaction to those cuts:

So did he get into Occidental on merit based on the grades he attained in high school for not attending classes? [I don't think so....]

And after this phrase: it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly, and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism, my thought was:

Oh, you mean hypocrisy, bullshit and cheap moralism JUST LIKE THE THOUGHTS YOU PUT DOWN IN YOUR BOOK...

Gee, the poor baby was disaffected, but managed to graduate college on dope and then get into Harvard law school. I bet his admittance there was based strictly on merit as well [yeah, right.]

Where are all the people who railed about Bush's legacy admission, which was hardly *fair*, given the fact that merit didn't seem to be involved in that either.

It is wholly unseemly for the Obamas, who accessed every opportunity afforded them BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, to be
caterwauling about racial injustice. They even whine about how tough it is to work and raise children on a combined yearly income of $500K when talking to lower middle class audiences who are lucky if able to afford the child care required to allow single, or both, parents to work outside the home.

I, for one, have no respect for cheap moralists like Barry Obama.
