Okay, so beyond the very comforting words left here on this site and on the Fausta blog, not too many people seem to see what Obama’s position might mean. Certainly, I don’t want to think our president supports socialist dictatorship, but what choice does he leave for us? He IS supporting socialist dictatorship. I guess there is room for pandering to Chavez in a misguided attempt to be an “amigo”, which would be inane beyond belief. Or he actually supports socialist dictatorship. So what does that mean for the United States? Nothing good, that is for sure.

I wish we could come up with some other reason for Obama’s position – BUT THERE IS NONE.

NEW information on Honduras

Here’s some more required reading. Looks like our government is siding with those who would welcome socialism or worse in Honduras.

Guard your home copy of the Constitution. Don’t be surprised if the original disappears from the National Archives.

a) Obama had less experience than anybody on the GOP ticket.

b) Obama had less of a prescription (the virus) for the economy than anybody on the GOP ticket

The adoration showered on him by the Press should teach everybody a lesson about how the press operates.

John McCain and Sarah Palin would NOT have worked to get Zelaya back in power. I can assure you that. If so, we would’ve ripped into that position.

“Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.”

Being a full, tenured Professor, at most substantial Universities, is something like being a bird Colonel; salary and administration put one into the General status. Being a Senior Lecturer, rather than plain Lecturer, means one has served long, kept the students happy, and saved the real Professors a lot of scut work. It still pays a lot less, no job guarantee.

Being offered a “tenure track position” means being offered an Assistant Professor position, most of which are “up or out,” with publication and “national recognition” being much more important than teaching (granted, student evaluations can destroy).

One problem … one very serious problem, apparently, for Obama. There is very little if any record of his actually producing “research” or “scholarly” papers/books/invited lectures/etc in his “academic” career.

Put it another way, “damned with faint praise.”

Some of us still think paying one’s dues is still a predictor of future competence, if not a guarantee.
