It has become obvious in a very short period of time that Senator Obama attended some very fine schools and learned almost nothing of American history.  He has, however, hung out with radicals for the past few decades, and their view of America and its history has sunk in, leaving Obama not only gaffe-prone, but wholly unprepared to be the Commander-in-Chief.  He's a product of his years and years in the Chicago machine with its nonsensical view of why things are the way they are and how the county and the economy works.  This takes us back to the Rev. Wright and Obama's two decades of listening to and reading the pastor's worldview, and before that to his college years in California and New York, and working as a "community organizer" in Chicago.  Senator Obama has lived his entire life in places where the distorted history of left-wing radicalism prevailed, and the consequences of this long immersion in pseudo-history and pseudo-economics are easy to see and will be disqualifying for most voters.

Obama's success at Harvard Law has persuaded most credential-driven MSMers that he is very, very smart, but a facility with the ways of law school and law exam test taking do not an educated man make.  Because legal education values certain skills, success at it says almost nothing about a law student's wisdom or grasp of history.  What is becoming obvious is that Senator Obama simply doesn't know a lot of what we take for granted in presidential nominees --an understanding of how America came to be and why it is so special, so exceptional.
