TIME Reporter: Obama’s Background
Lets Him ‘Think In More Complex
Terms,’ ‘Reach More Nuanced Positions’

Mediaite, by Noah Rothman

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/21/2013 11:39:06 AM

TIME Magazine reporter Jon Meacham joined MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Monday for President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Both Meacham and Matthews compared Obama to President Ronald Reagan and asked if he can achieve a lasting legacy in his second term through compromise with his opponents. Meacham said that he thought so because, like Reagan whose formative experience in life came from being a labor organizer and an actor, Obama’s background is that of a college professor. Professors, Meacham said, are able to ‘think in more complex terms’ and ‘reach more nuanced positions.’

Comments:
This is excrutiating! It is truly horrifying how delusional morons like him are.

Complex for Obama means he dithers while America drowns in debt. His ´´nuanced´´ position got 4 Americans killed in Benghazi and who knows how many more in Algeria.

WHAT exactly IS Obama´s background?
The media is no different than the low information people Kimmel interviewed last week..the ones who were asked what they thought of Obama´s inauguration...they all had opinions...although it has NOT yet taken place..talk about stupid!
Dopey dishonest people.

Any hope of nuance or deeper insight is lost when an inability to perform in a real-world situation is established by both cliche and four years worth of failure.

"Complex" for Obama means 3 or more children sharing the stage with him. ("Val, do I have to know their names? Can´t I just hug them?)

"Nuanced" means the shout out to the Indian chief before mentioning the 13 dead and 30+ wounded at Ft Hood.

""Professorial" is holding a beer summit after falsely accusing a white policeman of being a racist for arresting a belligerent Professoe Gates.

Everyone is questioning how a 21 year old football player could possibly be duped by a fake girfriend.

HALF the county the been duped by a man with a FAKED past for the last 4 years!

Just the fact that Meacham said he was a professor is edvidence that even the elite fall for what they want to be true rather than what is true.

I wish someone would finally get to the bottom of who this Presient REALLY is with as much zeal as they have put into the fake girlfriend.

The individual calling himself Barack Obama was never a college professor or even an assistant professor. He was a part time instructor in a position that seems to have been created just for him in order to pad his resume and in which he failed to distinguish himself in any way.

This is simply disgraceful, slovenly, perhaps dishonest reporting. It is all too typical of what passes for journalism today.

The individual calling himself Barack Obama was never a college professor. Who, and what is he really? Inquiring minds still would like to know. This mysterious individual presumes to fundamental change the United States of America and to run background checks on all gun buyers. It is long past time to run a background check on him. Americans know very little about him that has been verified. Most of what they think they know comes from him and his supporters. He continues to keep almost all of the documentation of his entire life secret. He is hiding something.

As a retired professor, I will comment on Meacham´s position.
Yes, college professors can think in more nuanced terms. But the president was never a college professor.
He was an adjunct lecturer at the U. of Chicago law school, taught one special topics course in constitutional law. (I confess to having taught an occasional special topics course. Trust me, special topics courses are the fluff of the university)
The president was elected president of the Harvard Law School review, but never published an article! Nor did he publish an article while at the U. of Chicago. Both were affirmative action appointments, so that each school could point at him and say, "we have a negro here!"

"Obama is the smartest man in the world."

"How do you know that?"

"Because the guy from Time, and Chris Matthews, that braintrust at MSNBC, told me so!"

The same people who tell us that there is no God because of a lack of evidence, will believe Obama is the smartest man in the world, because of their faith in the democrat spinmeisters. No evidence required.

Which parts of his " you can´t make this stuff up " background ?
Was it his hunger for dog meat ?

Or was it the nanny who raised him as a young boy in Indonesia ?
The gay, transvestite Muslim man named " Turdi " who would sleep in the same bed as Barry ?
Turdi would arrive at the Soetero´s as a man and often leave

As whistleblowers came forward on Capitol Hill regarding the potential cover-up surrounding the Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2012, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insisted the investigation was “politicized” and “non-substantive.” But he refrained from questioning the congressional witnesses making allegations that the administration has been dismissing. A reporter asked Carney at today’s briefing, “Do you question their motivation?” Carney said, “I don’t. I’m simply saying there has been an ongoing effort to politicize this. But beyond that,

AP Labels Official House Benghazi
Hearings as ´GOP Hearing´

On Wednesday, the Associated Press mischaracterized the Benghazi hearings as merely a Republican event, even though it is an official House committee investigation. In the headline of its report, the Associated Press downplayed the official hearings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee--that has both Democrats and Republicans on it--into the failures surrounding the 2012 attacks on our embassy personnel in Benghazi, Libya. The AP characterized the official hearings as "GOP hearings," making the proceedings seem like a mere political witch-hunt.

The party that swept into power on promises of transparency and accountability scrambled Wednesday to circle wagons in an extravagant attempt to protect administration officials, the White House and the woman many Democrats hope will be their next nominee for president. Congressional Democrats strenuously tried covering up the inquiry into the botched handling and dishonest aftermath of the terrorist attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi that left dead our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.

For a good idea of how anxious Obamacare supporters are about the law´s rollout, read former White House health adviser Ezekiel Emanuel´s op-ed in The Wall Street Journal this morning: Transforming the U.S. health-care system—which is larger than the economy of France—is one of the most daunting administrative tasks government has ever confronted.

Laugh if you must but it’s no goofier than the idea that “due process” implies a substantive right to kill a baby in the womb but not five minutes later, after it’s emerged. Bsides, Jackson Lee’s been consistent on this. Back in January 2011, right after the new Republican House majority was sworn in, she started arguing that repealing O-Care would amount to a deprivation of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. There’s a certain ruthless logic in her reaching for the Constitution right after the Democrats’ hold on power began to slip in

What good is a background check that doesn’t actually penalize criminals? Like the rest of Amnesty 2013, it exists only to aid the Democratic Party’s culture of criminality. Their concern is with a clause that would, during the background check process, prohibit immigration officials from forwarding criminal histories to law enforcement for deportation purposes. “The idea is we are supposed to be weeding out the bad apples,” said Steven Camarota, of the Center for Immigration Studies. “But the big problem with the bill is it does not require those denied the amnesty to leave the country.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott."
