Department of Where The Fuck Is Your Mirror, You Arrogant, Insulated Hypocrite
Mr. Obama, who declined to be interviewed for this article, was well liked at the law school, yet he was always slightly apart from it, leaving colleagues feeling a little cheated that he did not fully engage. The Chicago faculty is more rightward-leaning than that of other top law schools, but if teaching alongside some of the most formidable conservative minds in the country had any impact on Mr. Obama, no one can quite point to it.
“I don’t think anything that went on in these chambers affected him,” said Richard Epstein, a libertarian colleague who says he longed for Mr. Obama to venture beyond his ideological and topical comfort zones. “His entire life, as best I can tell, is one in which he’s always been a thoughtful listener and questioner, but he’s never stepped up to the plate and taken full swings.”
Seriously? The activist, state legislator, Senator and candidate for President of the United States has "never stepped up to the plate and taken full swings," says the guy who has literally never done anything but go straight from college student to law school student to law school faculty?
Do people not think when they open their mouths? Even the supposedly brilliant ones?
YEARGH
I would also stop and ask what the hell the Gray Lady is doing dignifying this kind of unprovable potshot crap, but it's not even worth the bother at this point.
