Rob Harrison, at The Spyglass offers some interesting observations in his post: Considering the intelligence of Barack Obama. Maybe that space “between Obama’s ears” isn’t all that impressive after all.
Jack Cashill has been at “ground zero” on debunking the authorship of Obama’s “Dreams of My Father.” He says … Christopher Andersen, has blown a huge hole in the Obama genius myth without intending to do so. This subject continues to get traction and is not likely to go away.
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at a post entitled … Barack Obama Embellishes His Resume. That’s a very interesting point … most of what we really know about Obama comes from his own testimony. It’s not like he’s got “letters of recommendation” from previous employers.
