Do you also have reservations about the way he got into the Ivy League?

so you are saying you don't like Obie because he is black. That is common.

So, I take it you don't care for the guy?

On what basis is this assertion being made (other than personal animus, of course)? I think that a person chosen as President of the Harvard Law Review and a professor at University of Chicago's Law School is hardly an intellectual pushover.

I think both he and Slick Willy are pretty bright fellows. Dubya, not so much.

That should have been an indication that Obama was not all that liberal. The University of Chicago is a very conservative school. Judge Posner of the Seventh Circuit came from there. He likes to blend a lot of cost/benefit analysis into his legal opinions. The U of C does, however, have an outstanding academic reputation. (I guess Trump would assert that the U of C faculty needed some affirmative action numbers too.)

Regards,
