"Bush and cheney ran away from fighting in the Viet Nam war because they were scared." They were both PRO war too! Just not for THEM.

> Bush did not like educated people around him. Right. Ever heard of Condi Rice, you nitwit? You post this nonsense here and can't defend your remarks any better than an average sixth grader. Then, you have the gall to talk about "education"? Bush is the only president to ever hold a Harvard M.B.A. That's a reasonable accomplishment. Bush's grades at Harvard have been disclosed along with Gore's and Kerry's, and they were all about the same. None particularly impressive but good enough. Obama has refused to release any information. What we KNOW is that when he graduated from Occidental he had < 3.3 GPA. I f---ed off for two years and beat the crap out of THAT. Oh, the Harvard Law Review. Except? He was an affirmative action case: However, because of changes in the Law Review's policies a few years earlier to insure proper "diversity" among the law review staff, half were not chosen on the basis of grades. Obama was elected President of the Law Review, as a compromise candidate among 21 others running, and which according to a Harvard Law spokesperson is not based at all on academics, but on other measures as would occur in any club. What Obama clearly DOES NOT HAVE is negotiating skills, which may be the most important qualification for his job. The fight with FNC is a perfect example of just how stupid Obama is. Ailes tried to reason with him, he rebuffed it, and now has all but guaranteed FNC ("ink by the barrel") will be pounding him for the next few years. This is not the act of a smart man.

Koan, > Because Obama respects knowledge, education and the wise ones of all cultures. He knows to learn from them and pass on that knowledge. You haven't named one thing that Obama has "learned and passed on." Not one. Other than platitudes. Tenchusatsu
