    And the racism continues

      You are a real DB. You have no data to back up a claim that he didn't earn that position. But even if he did have a boost, 99.9% of the population would never be smart enough to even be in the running for such a boost. People like you wouldn't last 2 weeks at HLS. The students are smart...every single one of them. And to actually excel there is phenomenal beyond what any of us here can imagine.

      And if he is the worst ever, why is he serving for 8 years?

        This article should give those arguing that blacks should be grateful about their slave history a big boost.

          Obama did not deserve to become president of the Harvard Law Review, let alone to be admitted to Harvard, Columbia University, or even Occidental College. Friendly biographer David Remnick tells us that Obama was an “unspectacular” student in his two years at Columbia and at every stop before that going back to grade school. A Northwestern University professor who wrote a letter of reference for Obama reinforces the point, telling Remnick, “I don’t think [Obama] did too well in college.”

          How such an indifferent student got into a law school whose applicants’ LSAT scores typically track between 98 to 99 percentile and whose GPAs range between 3.80 and 4.00 is a subject all his biographers have ignored despite some tantalizing clues, like the one offered by African-American entrepreneur and politico, Percy Sutton, in March 2008.

          A Manhattan borough president for twelve years, Sutton had appeared on a local New York City show called "Inside City Hall." When asked about Obama by the show’s host, the octogenarian Sutton calmly and lucidly explained that he had been “introduced to [Obama] by a friend.”

          The friend's name was Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and the introduction had taken place about twenty years prior. Sutton described al-Mansour as "the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men." The billionaire in question was Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.

          According to Sutton, al-Mansour had asked him to "please write a letter in support of [Obama]... a young man that has applied to Harvard." Sutton had friends at Harvard and gladly did so.

          Three months before the election it should have mattered that a respected black political figure had publicly announced that an outspoken anti-Semite like al-Mansour, backed by a Saudi billionaire, had been guiding Obama’s career perhaps for the last twenty years, but the story died a quick and unnatural death.

          In truth, Obama may not have needed Sutton’s help. Michelle Obama’s experience testifies to the same. “Told by counselors that her SAT scores and her grades weren’t good enough for an Ivy League school,” writes Christopher Andersen, “Michelle applied to Princeton and Harvard anyway.”

          Admitted to Princeton, Michelle struggled. Biographer Liza Mundy charitably describes her senior thesis as “dense and turgid.” The less charitable Christopher Hitchens observed, “To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be ‘read’ at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn't written in any known language.”

          Still, Michelle was admitted to and graduated from Harvard Law. Although a better student than Michelle, Obama did not make the Law Review the old-fashioned way, the way HLR’s first black editor, Charles Houston, had 70 years prior. To Obama’s good fortune, the HLR had replaced a meritocracy in which editors were elected based on grades -- the president being the student with the highest academic rank -- with one in which half the editors were chosen through a writing competition.

          This competition, the New York Times reported in 1990, was “meant to help insure that minority students became editors of the Law Review.” If Obama’s entry in the writing competition had begun, “As an angry young black man,” I suspect his odds of being selected editor would have improved considerably.

          In a rare honest moment while at Harvard, Obama described himself in a letter to the Harvard Law Record “as someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my academic career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Review’s affirmative action policy.” The media have chosen not to know this.

          At Harvard, Obama’s timing was better than his writing. In the same spring 1990 term that he would stand for the presidency of the HLR, the Law School found itself embroiled in a nasty racial brouhaha. Black firebrand law professor Derrick Bell was demanding that Harvard appoint a black woman to the law faculty.

          Under pressure, HLR editors felt obliged to elect their first African-American president. Obama had an advantage. Spared the legacy of slavery and segregation, and having grown up in a white household, he lacked the hard edge of many of his black colleagues. Joe Biden would clumsily sum up the Obama advantage years later, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American presidential candidate who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

          Once elected, Obama contributed not one signed word to the HLR or any other law journal. As Matthew Franck has pointed out in National Review Online, “A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time.”

            And now for the non-Fox news version....

            In a rare moment, really? Writing a letter is not a rare moment of honesty. Sounds like he was being humble and crediting the possibility of getting a minor bump. Do you think Bush's legacy status at Yale helped him get in Yale? White legacy stuff doesn't count, though, does it, when we're rattling on at a the country club or yacht club about where our kids go to college.

              He graduated from Harvard Law magna cum laude. How did he do that? The professors bribed all 3 years? They all knew he would be Prez of the USA some day? And the 12 years as a professor of constitutional law at the lowly University of Chicago? Dumb guy. Beyond dumb.

                Why not? President's are selected, not elected. Learn something.

                    Even if one buys the ridiculously propagandized version of Obama's education, would you rather have someone who got a little help and succeeded at the highest levels on the planet (Harvard Law is the gold standard), or someone who dropped out of Marquette with a 2.59 (and by no means was disadvantaged)? Keep in mind that getting a 2.59 at Marquette probably takes quite a bit of ineptitude on all fronts.

                      The point of the post went right over your cynical mind, you judgemental putz. Change the name to Cindy and how would you answer the questions in the post you reponded to?

                      Would you let someone you knew nothing about move into your home? Watch your children? Take your job?

                      But you're willing to be mighty noble with other people's children, property, and jobs. And of course, liberals are always more than happy to spend other people's tax money. God forbid you let anyone earn their own way in the world.

                        Although far fetched, when I look at what this president has done to weaken this country and decisions that he has made and how he got to this point.....I see him as the Manchurian candidtate put up by a Radical Muslim group or sympathizer.
                        It has always been obama's goal to 'transform America'. From the excess involvment in local issues (Trayvon and Michael) to his anti-semitic stance, his current turning away from christians being slaughtered throughout the world, and his constant siding with Radical Islam, I do have my suspiciions about how he got here and who has been pulling the strings.

                        But that is just my conspiracy mind at work........maybe I am wrong. Maybe we are better off flooding this country with illegals in need of a socialistic state. Perhaps we should not scrutinize or profile potentially dangerous islamists. Maybe the Jews should just give up Issrale and pray to allah fives time per day.....or be beheaded. Perhaps christians should take responsibiity for the crusades that happened in 1200.......(but the Democrats should not take any responsibity for their role in slavery in the 1800s)......

                        Perhaps I am wrong....

                          This is clear evidence of why things like Fox News exist....because they work. Your post is more terrifying than just about anything I've read in the last 10 years. Congrats.

                            You have to wonder about the motivations of those, like so many on this site, who insist, and insist passionately, on dragging us back to June and Ward Cleaver times.

                              Fortunately, the vast majority of Fox "News" viewers are elderly (and white and crabby).

                              Fox is shedding more and more of its younger viewers every year. Eventually all of its commercials will be about Depends, Ensure, Fixodent...
