The Affirmative Presidency

Now, if Obama did not slide into Columbia and Harvard Law by "affirmative" means, he might heretofore have released his academic records. Virtually every black in attendance at those schools is an affirmative action case. This is well established. There is no reason to believe that Obama constitutes an exception in this regard. This means if he weren't "black" he probably would not have made it into a top twenty school for undergrad or law--much less the top five Columbia and Harvard. Yet, I merely infer probabilities from available statistical information on these matters. Obama'a academic records could prove him the highly improbable exception to these inferences. One indicator of his intellect is that he never, as a law professor at a top five law school, actually published anything. This is extremely unusual, a flagrantly inadequate contribution. I see no sign anywhere that there is any substance to this man. He's smoke and mirrors. He presents as the sort of black man the liberals have long been desperate to believe they could bring to life--yet he's nothing, nothing in himself, only a collective liberal dream-delusion of a dreamer.
