re: #81 Winny Spencer

It has become plainly obvious (as if it wasn’t already) what the insinuations underlying the latest nutwing conspiracies are:
- Black man is not smart enough to write Dreams From My Father.
- Black man is not smart enough to get into Columbia or Harvard on merit. In the parlance of Pat ‘Buchenwald’ Buchanan, he has to be “affirmative action all the way”.

indeed

between the time obama graduated columbia and the time he was accepted at harvard law, obama worked at Business International Corporation, the New York Public Interest Research Group, and then became director of the Developing Communities Project and also worked as a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation
