    There is absolutely no reasonable doubt that Obama was born in the USA, similarly there's no reason to think that he doesn't have a college degree.

      What's different this go-around is that this lunatic fringe has been mainstreamed by the MSM and a political party (which has effectively taken it over) and instead of flittering about the outer limits of the twilight zone, they hold center stage.
      I take it you're talking about the Tea Party?

        Right, and Obama has never given that permission.

        I only point this out because Jimmy cited Obama's college career as proof that he was more than a "pseudo-intellectual" despite the fact that we have no way to verify his academic credentials.
        Pseudo intellectuals don't get to head the Harvard Law Review.

          Given the total lack of any memorable speeches* or any showing of significant intellectual capability, the conclusion is affirmative action candidate. Zero special ability besides reading off a teleprompter well.

            I don't know why you're going on about that. The fact is, we have no idea what sort of student Obama was because his academic work is not public record. If Jimmy wants to argue that Obama isn't a pseudo-intellectual then perhaps he could point to something we can actually verify.

              I don't think anybody is disputing that.

                  Obama Named New Law Review President

                  By Philip M. Rubin
                  February 6, 1990

                  Receiving support and praise from students and professors, Barack H. Obama was named the 104th president of the Harvard Law Review, becoming the legal journal's first Black leader.

                  The election, which drew national media attention, puts Obama in charge of a staff of 80 which edits and publishes articles by legal authorities eight times per year.

                  While many said yesterday that they believed the election was of historical significance, Obama downplayed its importance.

                  "It's a significant change from the Harvard Law School of the past," said Obama. "[But] for every one of me, there are a whole bunch of young Black people who, because of drugs, poverty, or whatever, aren't getting the opportunities I have," he said.

                  "To the degree that he's been chosen suggests that talent can be recognized regardless of race," said Randall Kennedy, professor of law. "The fact that it's a first, however, is a reflection on some very unfortunate aspects of American society."

                  Public Sector Work

                  Obama, 28, came to the Law School last year after having graduated from Columbia College and directed a Chicago counseling program for the disadvantaged for several years.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    Do you dispute this? No particular intelligence demonstrated at all as President. Zero.

                      "The remaining twelve editors are selected on a discretionary basis. According to the law review's webpage, "Some of these discretionary slots may be used to implement the Review's affirmative action policy."[12] The president of the Harvard Law Review is elected by the other editors"

                          I don't dispute the appointment, I'm challenging Jimmy's claim that pseudo intellectuals are disqualified. We don't know what kind of student Obama was, and demi is right, nothing in Obama's political career suggests he has anything other than average intelligence at best. I know liberals like to claim that he was the smartest man to ever sit in the Oval Office, but that's no evidence for it.

                            But he's so ARTICULATE!!!

                            "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

                              This is nothing but trash talk. Just to get into Harvard at the graduate level means you've achieved more in the intellectual arena than most, certainly more than many posting on these pages.
                              My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                              If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                              This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
