Right, Obama has never really had to strive, it has always been there from him. He is President of the Harvard Law Review, yet he does not submit even one article?

Um, please! You can think what you want about Obama, but to say he never had to work is just ridiculous. You may not respect the work he did, or think it’s good or necessary work, but you don’t get to be president without knowing how to work. At least, how to work a reception line. ;^)

Seriously, this meme that O was handed everything on a silver platter is just silly. And he was Editor of the HLR, not “president”. An editor edits. Other people submit articles to him. Plenty of work, as this old editor/translator knows all too well. Harder than writing, in some ways. You have to make silk purses out of sow’s ears all the time - whipping other people’s poorly worded thoughts into some semblance of coherency.

Just sayin’.
