Wouldn't it be great if we had a President who understood the Constitution?

[Clarkie1]

I mean, really, really understood it. Oh, yeah....

Obama studied for two years at Occidental College and then transferred to Columbia University, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations. After receiving his B.A. degree in 1983, Obama worked for one year at Business International Corporation. In 1985, he moved to Chicago to direct a non-profit project assisting local churches to organize job training programs for residents of poor neighborhoods. Obama entered Harvard Law School in 1988. In February 1990, The New York Times reported his election as the Harvard Law Review's "first black president in its 104-year history." He obtained his J.D. degree magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. On returning to Chicago, Obama directed a voter registration drive. He managed civil rights cases as an associate attorney for the law firm of Miner, Barnhill & Galland from 1993 to 1996 working on employment cases and voting issues. Obama also TAUGHT CONSTITUTIONAL LAW at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

1. I think they should have to pass a test that proves they've read & studied it

Clinton would've passed it. So could Clark. Probably Obama, too.

[Clarkie1]

2. Oh, I'm sure they would all pass.

I'm just pointing out Obama's good qualities. I still hope Clark enters the race. On top of his understanding of the constitution, Clark has vast international experience and goodwill as well as a master's degree in economics.

We could use more of that in the White House, too.

4. Junior couldn't pass it.

Unless it was in color book form and he could use his crayons.

3. He's a serious man

which which makes the fluffy, substance-free, nothing but a rock star crapola all the more amusing.

5. Wouldn't it be great if we had a President that could speak some English?

6. Wouldn't it be great if the President had a brain?

Hump? What hump?

9. We have a president?

I thought we had a boy-king.

:grr:

7. How about one that understood cause and effect?

n/y

8. At this point I'd be glad

to have a President who could sound out all the big words in the Constitution.

All kidding aside, this is good info on Obama so thanks for posting it.
