Tyranny of the majority. He's bright enough to manipulate retards, intellectually and morally corrupt enough to ruin the nation. Goodbye once wealthy USA.

"avo, once you do it, call me and tell me that you have.
Just get into harvard, i won't even mention the scholarship, his EC's, his great marks in harvard or his books"

at this point in my life its not appropriate. but please tell me, when you didnt get straight A's in highschool, did your parents tell you thats ok, thats the best you can do, you're only so smart? and as i recall, his marks arent public, so you're merely speculating. also as for getting into harvard and getting a scholarship, he's black, he has an advantage over me tongue

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Avo, if you're saying that your parents were like that then I would've been even more motivated. You're right his marks aren't public but I know the outrageous requirements Harvard wants when they're recruiting, and I know that to get a scholarship for Harvard, you have to be BEYOND AMAZING. I worked my ASS off just to get to Schullich (It's one of the top 10 business schools outside of the states), and getting to Harvard is like quadruple the effort and hard work I put in. Trust me, it's no walk in a park.

Remember I'm only talking about admission, I'm not even gonna go into their extremely challenging program, especially for Law.

"Avo, if you're saying that your parents were like that then I would've been even more motivated."

no, im saying why the hell do you think it takes incredible intelligence to get into Harvard. grade in highschool and college are a reflection of motivation more then anything else.

i never applied to Harvard, the college didnt appeal to me; someone in my class that was not of impressive intelligence or maturity or creativity did get into harvard and did get some type of scholarship. you do not need to be beyond amazing. its not like they give IQ tests to applicants and anyone scoring 160 or higher gets a scholarship. I bet Obama wrote a pretty good essay; which might of been the sole reason for the scholarship.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

There's a reason he's kept sealed all the information about his education; and it's not because he was a shining star of awesome.

LMFAOO that was SO SO SO DAMN vague, it's not even funny. Even if that's true than that person had very rich parents, opposite of the situation Obama was in especially since scholarships are given out after acceptance has been proven.


"I bet Obama wrote a pretty good essay; which might of been the sole reason for the scholarship."
ummm... so writing pretty good essays doesn't mean you're smart?
Only IQ's measure the intelligence of someone?


Avo, out of curiosity what program in what university/college did you pursue and/or get accepted in?

Re: Obama's Inauguration

"LMFAOO that was SO SO SO DAMN vague"

what did you expect me to say about them? their full name?! 

". Even if that's true than that person had very rich parents"

umm, no, she didnt. infact she didnt end up going to Harvard because she couldnt afford it even with the scholarship

"ummm... so writing pretty good essays doesn't mean you're smart?

writing good essays makes someone smart if making baskets makes professional basketball players smart.


"Avo, out of curiosity what program in what university/college did you pursue and/or get accepted in?"

i got into Purdue's Aerospace engineering prgram, which it is fourth in the coutnry; MIT was first (i was humble and didnt think i could get in) 2nd was Georgia tech (i didnt want to move to the South) 3rd was U of Michigan (i despise U of M) 4th Purdue, i got in and a scholarship.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Look....   He is the Pres. Elect.... Obama is.


Your cabinet is a reflection of who you are.

Is it the best people ??   or the people you owe ??



I can absolutely question his picks for the cabinet.

Did anyone see the LOVE FEST of a confirmation of  Clinton ??
Where is the Media Out RAGE for a tax dodging, Illegal alien hiring Sec Treas ??

who was it that got BASHED, I mean MAULED in the news for hiring an illegal domestic help ??  Wasnt it a Bush judge pick ??
Who was it that got DESTROYED in the media for having owed  ** STATE ** taxes in a state he FORMERLY lived in......

Remember JOE the PLUMBER ??   yea....him....he owed taxes in the state he no longer lived in..... $1200 .... and for that, he GOT HAMMERED, and all he did was ask the ANOINTED one a few questions...

Now, the Sec Treas owes 35K to the Fed, and its "a small matter"  that he as since "Cleared up" "It happens, whats the big deal?"


Yea.....Media, doing there job.  Where is the outrage ?

How about the SOCIALIST that will head EPA....and environmental WACKO,....to head EPA....IMAGINE that.

How about a logger, a forester, a scientist w/a good solid BALANCED background.......NO,.....
OBAMA wants a SOCIALIST ENVIRONMENTALIST WACKO to run EPA.


Owe......I See, they are only figureheads GLADIATOR ?? 
They are only there to fill seats.....OBAMA will be making all the calls, and running all the depts.
They all are just getting paychecks ??

Paychecks for what ??   Favors ??   If they are not going to be doing anything.....OBAMA will, why hire them ??




Gladiator ??

Will Obama pull all troops out of IRAQ by the end of the year ('09) ??  He promised that in the Campaign.
Will he end the "Bush Tax Cuts", in other words, increase taxes ??  he promised that.
A troop surge in Afghanistan ??
Direct Negotiations with Iran ??

What other promises did he make that you will be waiting for ??

didnt he say he will drill for more oil in the debate...as well as other energy forms ??  Think that will happen with the socialist at EPA ??

what else ??


As a good law abiding citizen, am I not allowed to voice my LOGICAL, and EDUCATED opinion on such matters ??

or must we all just follow along for 100 days....and say nothing ??


Come one dude.



Do you think BUSH will hold a Press Conference at the Airport after leaving the white house Tuesday ??...... Clinton did.

Do you think the Repubs in the senate are going to stonewall the cabinets picks .... delaying and causing as much trouble as possible ... launching a media assassination of everyone ??

Do you think Obama Judge picks will get stonewalled ?

Do you think OBAMA will keep all the US Attorneys....or will a lot of them be let go ??

Do you think the JUSTICE DEPT. is going to get cleaned out by Obama....



You see, get ready for us Conservatives to REALLY show you the double standard of the MEDIA and the way the Opposition party PUBLICLY treats the DEMS in power.....

Come .......joust w/the master.
I'm always Right.   You are just intellectually Left.....behind.
Individual patriot, and a REAGAN Conservative.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

So avo should I take it that you're still studying? at ugh purdue?

Now take the requirements for undergrad(i just took a look at them btw) and double it, not to mention EC's prior to uni, and i'm betting the acceptance  for harvard is somewhere around 13% from all applicants considering the prestige of the university.

Avo, it takes a lot of smarts to get in, stay in, and graduate from one of the most prestigious universities in the WORLD, and one of the most rigurous programs(ESPECIALLY for law) in the world.

It's no walk in the park. Someone can't stand up one day and say, I'll go to Harvard Law School today.

Money talks, merit walks. (E.g. Bush@Yale)


I guess none of you have not noticed the outrage being performed in NASA? The administrator (an engineer) who wants to keep the Ares program and keep NASA budget at current levels has gotten sacked for a yes-man general of the Clinton era. Technological superiority is one of the things that makes the US great, and now it is being tossed to the side. I am sure there are less useful programmes to cut?

You can't compare them. The ivys aren't really known for engineering. Besides Columbia, U Penn and Princeton.

im not saying it doesnt take work. im saying it doesnt prove his IQ is above 100.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

your IQ is not the only measure of your smarts...

To make it to a prestigious university, it takes a lot more than book smarts, trust me on that!!!!!

I made it to my current uni over people who had upto a 5% better average than I did... I was short of the "requirement" by 3%...
I still made it over the "book nerds"...

The "average" guy will never get into Harvard..

You have to be way above average...

a why not? what do they have to weed "average" guys out? i know someone who got into Harvard and got a scholarship and she wasnt much above average.

"Where is the Media Out RAGE for a tax dodging, Illegal alien hiring Sec Treas ??

There's a slight difference between a Sec Treas hiring an illegal alien and a judge who hires an illegal alien. A judge is sworn to uphold the law. Breaching said law themselves...is a definite no-no. It's hypocritical and displays a complete disregard for their chosen profession...not something you want in a S.C. judge.

That being said, it's not right for either of them to do it...though I'm guessing a lot of US lawmakers and officials have at one time or another employed illegal help.



As for tax dodging...you could nail most rich people for pulling dodgy tricks with their tax reports. tongue

To serve is to survive

Re: Obama's Inauguration

They have to weed out average guys because average guys can not survive the rigurous program...

BTW, Avo I'm not too familiar with all of Harvard's prgorams, but remember every Uni has a couple of programs that they are not great at, and i'm sure harvard has a couple of those too

They are famously known for their Law and Business programs though...

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Bush did make it through Yale, which is just as prestigious as Harvard.... average people cant survive the program, my ass. all you need to be is motivated.

Re: Obama's Inauguration

Neither one of us are ever going to win this arguments, you're clearly miss-lead, you really have to go through with something to know how difficult it is, especially considering all the EC's and involvement one person has within the university community. I find it hard just to meet with my friends on weekends tongue
