Ph.D. Richard Phillips Feynman couldn't get into Columbia, but somehow, Barack Obama did?

[Something Smells]

Feynman, of Feynman diagrams fame, wasn't accepted at Columbia -
so he went to MIT, then Princeton.

Obama is far dumber than Feynman.

How exactly did Barack Obama get into Columbia?

He didn't you fucking moron. He went to Harvard. And graduated magna

[Frank]

Oh, goody. Can you show us his grades? ;)

[Ed Huntress]

He graduated from Columbia and then went to Harvard Law. Magna cum
laude requires a minimum grade point average at nearly every college
and university, or a class rank. At Harvard Law, magna cum laude is
reserved for the top 10% of the graduating class.

If you have any trouble interpreting that, you won't understand it
anyway, so you wouldn't understand the grades, either.

Your ignorance and inability to grasp legal concepts doesn't make me a

Race, by itself, cannot "be used to decide who can be admitted." That
is the essence of the Bakke decision. It can be used as one factor,
among others, to decide who is admitted.

No. Cites are for people who can understand them, not for you. You

When Feynman went to college (circa 1935) it took smarts to get
in, especially to major in Physics. And did Feynman ever have smarts,
particularly when it came to math.

Things were different in 1981 when Obama is suppose to have
transferred to Columbia. And sad to say, by '81, "Political
Science" was not exactly a rigorous discipline, even at Columbia.
Slightly more rigorous than Post Colonial Studies or Literary
Deconstruction, but still much less than Physics in 1935. Or even
Physics in 1981.

Do you know anything about Occidental? It's a liberal arts college,
with quite an emphasis on the first word. I applied there, and was
required to write an essay for acceptance. I wrote one condemning the
Isla Vista rioters who burned a bank down in 1969. I didn't get a
second look.

A black with mediocre grades is *exactly* whom Occidental would be
falling all over themselves to admit.

As I said, I don't think Obama's marks are likely to be all that bad, if
they're ever seen. What they *AREN'T* is indicative of the intellectual

Because you aren't worth listening to. I agree. The best thing to do

It also usually took a lot of money, influence, white skin. In
Feynman's case, as with many others in that era, being either Jewish or
having a "Jewish-sounding" name couldn't have helped.

Liberals have done much to make a college education more accessible for
more people, even though Right-wingers have always opposed and continue
to oppose the "snobs" who think a college education, even for the sons
and daughters of the unprivileged working class, is a good thing.

Just because political science keeps proving so much of core right-wing
dogma and perhaps many of your own most cherished political beliefs to
be false, distorted or based on nothing more substantial than wishful
thinking, outright lies, spin and propaganda, does NOT mean that there
is anything wrong with either how political science is taught in
universities or how it is practiced by professionals and academics.

What exactly is your point? That any time someone dumber than
Feynman gets into Columbia, it's suspicious? That makes no sense
at all. Schools accept and reject for all sorts of reasons. I

Don't take that stuff too personally. I mean it in a metaphorical
sense. Given how disrespectful the right has been toward Obama, and
given the fact that nothing he says or does would change your vote,
why should he show you any more respect than you have shown to him?

He started out trying to please everyone. After being called a "liar"
in a State of the Union address, and being depicted as Hitler in
teabagger rallies, what in the hell does he owe you, anyway, in terms
of respect? I think he finally gets it. You are meaningless to him. At
least he doesn't call you white trash... He just ignores you.

You've made your own bed on that point. Now the election is going to
come down to the choices made by that part of the independent center
that will make their decisions based on events and circumstances right
before the election. The ideologues are fully hardened and
impenetrable. Those who are deciding on the kind of man we want to
represent us and our country have decided. All that's left is maybe
10% that will swing on the state of the economy or other objective
factors.

So you're worth as much of his attention as cockroaches. That doesn't

So, you really ought to shut your yap about it.

The basic issue is, was Obama admitted to Columbia on something other
than his grades and test scores. I think he probably was, and that's
the reason he won't release his records. The problem is that you true
believers have made him out to be not simply smart, or even considerably
smarter and brighter than average, but rather...The Smartest, Brightest,

It's the stupid things you say, not my pointing them out, that show you

> The basic issue is,

that you're just one of many rightard drones swamping the internet with
lies and smears you think will somehow advance the rightard political
agenda, or maybe just your own, usually racist, hatred of Obama.

You kept insisting on maintaining the patently false claim that Obama
was able to transfer into Columbia because of some claimed, although
imaginary, "black quota." But that's a lie, and a poorly crafted,
rather obvious, and easily disproved lie. When I did disprove it, out

We would understand his real birth certificate. You know, the one

and the witnessing notary...

We would also understand his citizenship papers. You know, the one
where he gave up his Indonesian citizenship and became an American.

No, I clearly understand Bakke perfectly well, and what it means in
terms of disproving your clumsy lie about Columbia's non-existent "black
quota" system. But you still don't get it. Bakke disallowed using
racial quotas for admissions, and Obama wasn't admitted to Columbia
because of them. You got caught lying, and saying stupid, easily
disproved stuff, but you're too much of a dishonest coward to "admit it
and move on" after being caught lying, and too much of a blowhard to
give up lying.

In fact, you're such a coward that you've been resorting to editing
multiple paragraphs out of my posts before you reply. (I've restored
them here) This demonstrates a few things.

First, you've shown yourself to be a coward of the worst sort, the sort
that feels compelled to run away from mere words. You're too much of a
mental weakling to face the truth, or to stop your lies even when
there's absolutely no chance anyone will believe them.

Second, your behavior once again confirms that you are just a
fundamentally dishonest person. This all started with my calling you on
your clumsy, racist lie that Obama was admitted to Columbia under their
""black quota" system, although the Bakke decision had previously
prohibited any use of racial quotas in college admissions. You tried
just repeating the lie, then defending it, then you tried to pretend
that your lies weren't the issue, or that you never told the lies to
begin with. But piling more lies on to your lies won't help you.

Third, you've proven that you know you've lost the argument after being
well and truly caught out in your lies, with me not allowing you to
squirm away from what you've done. In my experience, those who resort
to heavily editing other's posts before they can muster up a reply have
a low intellect to go along with their low character, always. It's the
silly ploy and desperate last gasp of those who've already lost, lack
the courage to face the words that prove it so, and are so dim they
think cutting up or removing those words will help their already lost
cause in any way.

Such twits aren't worth bothering with in the long run, and now your
every post is demonstrating just how true that is.

>>> The basic issue is,

that you're just one of many rightard drones swamping the internet with
lies and smears you think will somehow advance the rightard political
agenda, or maybe just your own, usually racist, hatred of Obama.

You kept insisting on maintaining the patently false claim that Obama
was able to transfer into Columbia because of some claimed, although
imaginary, "black quota." But that's a lie, and a poorly crafted,
rather obvious, and easily disproved lie. When I did disprove it, out
you come the usual lame rightard litany of personal insults, evasions,
and nonsense.

Now, you want to completely redefine what the "basic issue" is, into
something else entirely. Now, you want to pretend that you weren't
vociferously and repeatedly trying to peddle your lies here, and pretend
instead that the issue and your position on it, were something
different, something that doesn't demonstrate what a malicious and inept
liar you've already proven yourself to be. You are also, of course,
trotting out the old tactic of hurling accusations, as if those who
merely pointed out your lies were the real problem here, not you,
because of your lying.

Well, nitwit, that ain't gonna work. Maybe you should just quit now,
before you dig the hole you're in any deeper and embarrass yourself further.

Why should I "address it"? The issue I've been addressing is your
clumsy lie that Obama was admitted to Columbia due to their non-existent
"black quota," not the distraction you've been trying to introduce of
how intelligent Obama is or isn't.

Why can't you address the fact that you've been caught lying?

It's certain that Obama is vastly more intelligent than you are, and
beyond that, I seldom engage in trying to estimate precisely how
intelligent smart people like Obama are, or precisely how stupid nitwits
like you are. It's not my issue. My issue was you and your stupid lies.

> Obama is *not* the "genius award" guy you fuckwits want to make him

If not, go to your local university library and check out a copy of

Oh, for God's sake, Keegan. You said there was a quota. Bakke
specifically disallows quotas. It allows race to be considered as ONE
factor in admission, for diversity's sake. It may have influenced
Obama's admission, but who, except a rightard, would care?

The point is how he graduated from Harvard Law, not how he was
admitted to Columbia. And he graduated very high in his class.
Obviously, he was up to it and had the necessary skills to excel. Is
there any other issue of consequence here?

You may not like that but the fact is that there can be no "quota" and
there couldn't when Obama was admitted to Columbia. When Feynman was
refused admission, there were quotas. It was a bad time to be Jewish,
exceedingly smart, and ambitious.

If the guy graduated in the top 10% of his class, and we're talking
Harvard here, one of the hardest schools you can find, that means his
grades were in the top 10% of one of the best schools. If you don't
understand what that means I'll explain it to you. You have to have
mainly all A's and a few B's for you to be in the top 10%. So why is it
that it matters so much to you what grade in which class Obama got his
A's or B's? This was many years ago and is not relevant to anything. So
why do you want to know? What would you do with that information?
Nothing. Me, I want to know what Donald Trump's grades were. Can we get
him to release them just because I want to know?

What if he got lousy grades in high school? And what if they let him in
unfairly or just because he was black? Didn't he prove that he was up to
the job? He did graduate from Columbia and was Magna Cum Laude at
Harvard and head of the Law Review there. I'd say them's pretty damn
good credentials, so no matter how he got there he proved himself,
didn't he? Now compare that to George W. Bush who got into college only
because of his father and when there got mediocre grades at best. He
didn't belong there as his grades indicated. But Obama obviously
deserved to be where he went to school.

Oh, yes they would. They'd try to mine it for any hint that they could
use against him.

Their only interest is in kicking and screaming at Obama because he
won't give them something that will undermine him. Not that they would
change their vote no matter what it says.

That's why they can go commiserate in a Roach Motel somewhere. That
is, after they piss up a rope. d8-)

No it doesn't it proves us right. Someone that was a failure in high
school that goes on to an Ivy League school and does extremely well
there obviously was underachieving in high school and had a lot of
potential that was not being used. The fact is we know how well Obama
did in the Ivy League. We know how well he's done every step of the way
to becoming president of the U.S.

We know how smart and how capable Obama is from what he has done. What
he did earlier in his life is really pretty damn meaningless at this
point. He's proven he's a far better president than that clown Bush.
He's got the country moving in the right direction. There's nothing more
to say. We got rid of the horrible president and now we have a good one.

Yeah, I know. Trump is just like Wayne Newton. They used to say that
when Newton was performing he never knew when to stop, and if just one
person in the audience clapped he'd keep singing more songs. Trump is
the same way about tooting his own horn. You don't want to do anything
to encourage him, do you?

Theory 1: He realizes that trying to appease conspiracy theorists
and other purveyors of derp is a waste of time and serves only
give them credibility.

Theory 2: He hopes to keep them raving about stupid shit, thus
causing them to expose themselves as the crazies they are to the
rest of the populace.

Theory 3: He's waiting for the derp frenzy to peak, then release
his transcripts, thus generating the maximum humiliation. This
seems to have been his strategy with the second birth certificate
and it worked quite well.

Out of curiosity, what's *your* theory?

If Ph.D. Richard Phillips Feynman was too stupid to make the cut,
nobody made the cut.

That's why nobody goes there.

Besides, Ph.D. Richard Phillips Feynman was born in Kenya, just like
Obama.

I learned the same lesson in life. I was not a high school drop out but
I did exceedingly poorly. I was near the bottom of my class when I

You got an AA degree from a community college, which doesn't really
count as a degree - it's not required for admission to /any/ bachelor's
program anywhere - and you got a worthless bachelor's degree in a

anything with your bachelor's degree; all you do is brag about it.

We don't know *anything* about Obama being smart and capable, you
fuckwit. Other than collecting some degrees, Obama never did anything
meaningful. He was a "community organizer", which is a fancy term for
professional rabblerouser and is in fact a *DISQUALIFYING* activity for
being president. He taught law - whatever law he had learned, *NOT* any
of his original scholarship - at a law school as a lecturer; he was not
a legal scholar. He served several undistinguished, unproductive terms
in the Illinois legislature where he left virtually *NO* record of
legislative achievement, and 2/3 of a term in the US Senate, which time
was equally undistinguished.

He's not a dummy, but he is *far* from the scintillating intellect you
fucking fawning dopes make him out to be.

[George Plimpton]

No. And that's precisely why he won't disclose his records.

You're ignorant and a blabbermouth. You continuously talk as if you have
all kinds of information you are not privy to. You don't know jack about
my education. Yet you pretend you do. Just know that I am better
educated than you are, meaning I have more degrees than you do.

Hawke

[Hawke]

The problem is that you take a guy like Obama that has excelled at every
level and you try to denigrate everything he has done. Graduated from
Columbia, your response, well that's nothing, that doesn't indicate
anything about anyone's intellect, anyone could do that. Graduated from
Harvard Law with honors. You: that's nothing any ordinary person
couldn't do. Then he gets elected to the U.S. senate. You: well, that's
no big deal either, that's not a very big accomplishment for a black man
in America, any average man could do that. Then Obama becomes president
of the U.S. Your response: not a great feat, anyone of average
intelligence could do that. Obama showed no great mental prowess there
either.

Even when you take all those things together you don't see that it takes
someone very special to do all that. To you all you see is someone very
ordinary. I have to tell you, no normal person sees that. What they see
is someone that has done extraordinary things and accomplished things
that virtually no one else has. So I'll leave it at that. There is your
view that Obama is nothing special and has not proven to be much above
average and there is the view he's far superior to just about everyone
else. I think your view rates as just plain stupid.

Hawke

[George Plimpton]

No, you're not. You're much *worse* educated than I am, in large part
because you didn't obtain a bachelor degree until an advanced age, and
you coasted through a shitty school to get it. I earned my bachelor
degree in five years after high school (one year off to live overseas),
and then I attended graduate school.

You never learned to think, and in fact you never *have* thought. All
you do is emote, based on shitty extreme left-wing values you somehow
absorbed - *wrongheaded* left-wing values.

[George Plimpton]

Obama is hardly a model of excellence. In fact, the only things that
conceivable could be taken as evidence of excellence are his graduation
from Harvard law school, and his presidency of the law review while
there. *Nothing* else he has done in his life bespeaks excellence, most
particularly his legislative "career", which was among the most
undistinguished in recent memory.
