David Letterman is pretty ticked off at Donald Trump, who implied that Barack Obama only got into Harvard because of affirmative action. The talk show host took Trump’s friend Dr. Phil McGraw to task for the real estate mogul’s comments about the president.[...]
Donald Trump likely meets the expressed qualifications to be President of the United States of America. Those qualifications are way less intimidating than the actual job of being President of the United States of America:
Qualifications for the Office of President
Age and Citizenship requirements – US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.[...]
So, it looks like Mr. Trump does indeed have the qualifications to be President of the United States of America. And America has seen similiar qualifications put to work for twenty-some-odd years. Most of those qualifications don’t require anything more than what parents(birth) and the calendar(age) gave to the potential candidate to be President of the United States of America.
And today is the ideal time for candidates, who have nothing much to talk about, to run for President. Today’s presidential candidates, of the neocon persuasion, rarely if ever, talk about problems of America. That is likely because the neocons caused the problems.
Tear down that tent. Check his birth certificate. He got into Harvard because of affirmative action.
What the hell kind of a political campaign is that? Neocons don’t and likely can’t “campaign” on their performance. Their performance is “train-wreck” quality. So, what is their strategy?
There are more whites in America than blacks. With the possible exception of business lobbyists – it is one man one vote. The arithmetic of the situation is not beyond the academic limits of neocons. And the neocons have and are taking advantage of the natural divisions within America.
I would place my bets on President Barack Obama’s intelligence against Mr. Donald Trump’s intelligence. I would place my bets on the “hit the ground running” political performance of the Democrats against anything the neocons have mustered over the past twenty-some-odd years.
Mr. Trump should not even venture into the academic achievements of high ranking men of politics. Better yet, stay away from “gossip” quality rhetoric and TELL AMERICA about the accomplishments of his political party and how he plans to continue in that vein. But, then again, he can’t do that – can he? No neocon will do that.
Why would Mr. Trump want to compare LEGACY college admissions at YALE UNIVERSITY to AFFIRMATIVE ACTION college admissions at HARVARD? Mr. George W. Bush is a Yale man and Mr. Bush, himself would not campaign on that subject.
America’s ombudsmen(voters) no longer seem to require that politicians stick to political subjects during a campaign. Since the neocons “screwed up” every political subject they got involved in, they are happy with how the press treats/mis-treats their political performance history.
A fool and his country may have already parted.
