   Relax, Troll. If Coulter is wrong for what she said about Cleland and Cleland is wrong for what he said about Bush. And I’m wrong for only defending Cleland and you’re wrong for only defending Coulter, we’re at zero.

   Cue the crickets.

   True, he didn’t marry well or inherit. But he hardly earned it well, since he was in fact a product of one of the most corrupt political machines in the history of the world.

   Was that before or after he became head of the most prestigious law review in the world? My memory is hazy.

   From the Boston Globe
   http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/01/28/at_harvard_law_a_unifying_voice/

   In the fall of 1989, when Obama returned to campus for his second year, students were protesting the lack of minority law school faculty. They staged sit-ins in the law library, camped outside the office of Dean Robert C. Clark, and carried signs that read “Diversity Now” and “Homogeneity Feeds Hatred.” The tensions continued the following spring, reaching a high when Derrick A. Bell Jr., the first tenured black professor at the school, resigned in protest. Obama was a member of the Black Law Students Association, which organized many demonstrations that spring. But he was less confrontational than some of his peers.

   “Barack was a stabilizing influence in that he would absolutely support those efforts, but was also someone who could discuss and debate them with students or faculty who had different views,” said Professor Charles J. Ogletree Jr., who became Harvard’s seventh tenured black professor in 1993.

   In February 1990, when the time came to elect a new president of the law review, Obama was initially reluctant, said Nix Hines. The presidency seemed better suited for careerist types who were aiming for positions at top-flight law firms, Obama told her at the time. The son of a black Kenyan father and a white mother from Kansas, he wanted to return to his work in Chicago as a community organizer.

   “I was surprised because I knew he was very popular and well-regarded and obviously had the ability to do the job,” Nix Hines said.

   But at a dinner at Obama’s apartment, an older black student challenged Obama and other black students to compete for the job. “And I do remember Barack saying that was the moment he finally decided, ‘I’m going to do this,’ ” said Mack.

   The law review president’s election is a fussy affair, part intellectual debate, part frat house ritual. Obama was one of 19 candidates. As the 61 editors not running for the job debated the merits of the candidates behind closed doors on a Sunday morning in late February, the hopefuls cooked them breakfast, lunch, and dinner . Every few hours, the editors winnowed the list further, until just after midnight, when only Obama and a 24-year-old Harvard graduate named David Goldberg remained contenders .

   At about 12:30 a.m., the editors called Obama into the room, told him he had won, and broke into applause. Mack, another black editor, pulled Obama in for a hug.

   “It was a hard hug, and it lasted a while,” Obama told the Harvard Law Record, the school newspaper, at the time. “At that point, I realized this was not just an individual thing. . . but something much bigger.”

   Emphasis mine. From the way this article was written, one has to wonder how much of that those “civil rights tensions” entered into the decision to elect him president of the HLR.

   Was the Globe insinuating something?

    And, oh yeah, by the way, saying a triple amputee was “lucky” to have that happen to him in Vietnam or else he’d probably be a pharmacist instead of a Senator is worse than questioning if an admitted drunk and party boy did all he was supposed to do while in the National Guard.

    Coulter didn’t say he was lucky he had 3 limbs blown off in Vietnam. She said he was lucky he was injured in Vietnam, rather than on a base here in America, which is a bit different. “Lucky” in the sense that, had the injury due to error happened elsewhere, he wouldn’t be able to look down his nose at Bush like he was doing.

    Will you ever be honest about Coulter, or are you stuck on smearing her?

    not to mention that there’s no good reason to close I-25 during rush hour. You wanna close the exists to Invesco at Mile High during the messiah’s speech (Bronco fan here)? Fine. But nearly 6 miles of busy highway at rush hour is ridiculous. Especially when you consider that it’s putting tons of traffic on streets that can’t handle it, which is a serious safety hazard.

    The fact that Obama is physically fit is not a strike against him.

    And what about the fact Bush is also in exceptional shape for his age?

    It’s true that Bush is in good shape (great?) and that fitness is a good thing. With Bush, however, we might wish he would find time to run the country between vacations and workouts.

    Unlike McCain, Obama understands that he won’t be President until January, at the earliest. He’s not pretending to be President now.

    That would explain his staying on VACATION in HAWAII while the entire planet stayed frozen in anticipation of Russia’s next move in our recent “3AM” moment.

    That, or Obama’s assurance and confidence in President Bush and Sec. Rice and their ability to deal with the crisis to the benefit of everyone.

    Did Obama consult with MacDill AFB in Tampa before going public with such a proposal? Or did Obama just assume that “Bush” was too busy “cozying up” with US Special Operations and their interests too?
