Ever wonder why his university transcripts are unavailable. Wonder no more.
UPDATE: Another take on the same moment.
Spelling R-E-S-P-E-C-T should not be difficult but is within the capabilities of any properly educated individual. Obama hesitates, either because of a teleprompter breakdown or because he really doesn’t know how to spell the word off the top of his head. George Bush may have had a few such moments, and Dan Quayle actually was given a cue-card by the teacher that had “potatoe” on it. But this is significant because someone who thinks there are 57 states in the US, and cannot spell a simple word whose spelling is actually repeated twice in Aretha Franklin’s song, is making decisions that will affect all of us into the distant future. Just how ignorant is he?
But do you think this is going to be an issue for the American mainstream? The media bias in the US is so tremendous that they make our ABC seem almost impartial. The US now seems to choose presidents in much the same way they choose American Idol. Populist Cool wins against Wonky Competence. Obama will feel no embarrassment since that is not in its nature being in his own mind perfect in every way. But the US should feel embarrassment that their system has allowed an incompetent, shallow, far-left poseur to reach the top of its political tree. And with Hillary maybe next, it has a fair chance of continuing for as far as the eye can see.
