gandalf: The whole notion that he’s dumb or ignorant or naive? I just don’t buy it. Who on this board has this kind of career or credentials? surveyor??
I think I’ve been able to document pretty well exactly how lacking his knowledge when it comes to history and foreign policy analysis. Do I have to be a Harvard educated lawyer to know that? I don’t think so.
Besides, gandalf, there was no such deference to education when you were making derogatory statements towards George W. Bush and his Yale education.
And your kind of thinking is supported by Obama as well. His whole campaign is exemplified by the Mad magazine cover that says “Trust me.” They have difficulties answering the hard questions because it all comes down to “Hey, Obama has SUPERIOR judgement. He KNOWS better.” I mean, really, I can’t question Obama because he has a better degree than me? Come on! You are a piggington and a piggington ideal is to question the analyses of experts who have better degrees than us.
