Obama is a guy who likes to read books.

Trump is a guy other people write books about for people like Obama to read.

Choose which one is the better to lead a country.

Openly hostile is more like it.

This is designed.

It gives ignorant people without intellectual habits the validation to continue in their ways.

It's like telling fat people that eating healthy costs too much, won't change their health, ect.

Funny true story:

When Iranians stormed the American embassy and captured the CIA chief clandestine officer, they were stunned that he could not speak a foreign language.

I agree. Obama has shown himself to be feckless and ineffective.

I would be shocked if Obama has actually read a lot of Shakespeare and let alone understood it. He's an idiot

Obama's background was professorial and intellectual. He taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He went to Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He wrote a critically acclaimed memoir of his life. He regularly talked about books he had read, authors he admired.


Trump graduated from the Wharton school. He has written books. I'm quite certain he has actually read one or two. Once again, this is biased slanted drivel, coming from the CIA which is supposed to be a fact based organization.

** unless this guy is trying to get at peoples perception, in which case both Trump and Obama have carefully crafted their public personas, he is correct.**

Clinton spokesman Phil Singer claimed: Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor” out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you’ll find that there is … you’ll get quite an emotional response.


Even the Clinton Campaign called bullshite on this, he was a glorified affirmative action lecturer.

I would still like to find out how a kid who was a middling student at Occidental in California is able to transfer into Columbia University.


It's easy to transfer masquerading as a foreign exchange student from Indonesia.

The CIA is a cold war relic, needs to be on Trump's s(hit) list for the budgetary axe.

So Mr. CIA books equal what again? Unlimited govt spending to the point of trillions of dollars borrowed into the future. Govt spying on its own citizens(Bush went to Yale) endless wars and all due to books and higher education. Great. Bring back shop in HS please.

And a committed Authoritarian Socialist, with a race chip on his shoulder. Wonder why we never saw all those *intellectual* College writings and grades?

More punching the tarbaby.
