Koan: Obama was editor of the Harvard law review. That is the highest honor in law in the Us and the editor is picked by their peers. He was picked (becasue his peers felt he was the cream of hte crop)and graduated Magna cum Laude and that is on record. Look, I'm the most pro-education person you'll ever encounter. But I'm also going to tell you that there are certain things you don't get from an education. Obama may "know" the law, but he doesn't have the gumption to understand that you don't give Russia a gift like the one he gave them this week. You get something out of it. And we're already seeing the result of this gross incompetence: Russia has pocketed the gift, and now is making the next round of demands. He may have been a great law student, but he is a not a competent lawyer; I've known many a great lawyer and not one of them would have pulled a boner like this. Neither would GWB. If you are in a strong position you don't give away the very thing that holds you there. The other big thing the excellent student is lacking, apparently, is integrity. I refer you to Krauthammer's excellent column from this week. Obama has a problem with honesty and the truth. A lot of us spotted this problem well before the election (my wife, a pretty good judge of character, used the term "snake oil salesman", back at the time and she was proven to be precisely correct). It was clear Obama was an extremist liberal yet he convinced many people to vote for him on the basis he was centrist. That's cheating. We see "moves to the middle" all the time, but never on this scale. I want a president who is smart, but I want one with integrity and intuition and experience -- none of which Obama possesses.
