>>>Better an intellectual snob than an ignorant one. “W” didn’t pick up those lessons either, as far as I can tell. I dunno if Columbia and Harvard are a mecca for dumbed-down, educated slackers. And as a lawyer (a slouch from Harvard), Obama is no doubt well-briefed (if not natively knowledgable) in “the facts.”

>>or maybe he took an unusual or controversial position in the pursuit of intellectual freedom or inquisitiveness and doesn’t want something he wrote as an undergraduate used against him politically. (You don’t have to believe something to make a good argument for it in a college paper.) Who didn’t get a little crazy in their college years?

>>Uh…John…it’s “Affirmative Action.” Gee, did you make a typo in what you wrote? …and you had the chance to proofread it before publishing it in a blog before a small group or readers? Gee, not making a speech where you dropped off an “s” from the word bomb? Hm…..
