There’s an old
adage asserting that even a blind pig can find a truffle once in a while—the
point being that every so often someone says something absolutely spot on.
Writer, actor,
economist and lawyer Ben Stein got it right in his documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed and he gets
it right again in his American Spectator piece, A Know Nothing.
What else besides the Constitution does Mr.
Obama not know?
Here, in
outline form, is why the pronouncements from President Barack Obama, warning
the Supreme Court to not overturn Obamacare are so chilling:
1. The
President supposedly went to Harvard Law School, graduated from same, was Law
Review President of the Harvard Law Review at Harvard Law School. Then he
supposedly taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Those
are powerful law schools. Yet he obviously knows little of how the Constitution
works if he thinks it would be rare or startling for the Supreme Court to
overrule a law passed by Congress.
2. If he does
not know how the government works under the Constitution, he should not be
President.
3. If he does
not know how the Constitution works even in its broadest strokes, what else
does he not know?
4. Is he
really so arrogant that he thinks he can lecture and threaten the Court? This
is his second attempt to bully and demean the Court. Is this from arrogance or
from foolishness and arrogance? In
either case, it is not good.
Stein opines
that he, Obama, apparently thinks that it's his job to leave Western Europeans
and Americans stripped of missile defense. He apparently thinks it's his job to
unilaterally disarm America. That shows a yawning chasm in what he knows and
what he does not know.
Another
subject Mr. Obama thinks he knows about and doesn't is the oil companies. He
hates them. Why does Mr. Obama hate them? Because of a juvenile, City College
of New York circa 1937 leftist view of
the whole world. Sad. Disturbing. That is a highly anti-American worldview.
