    Reminds me of a cartoon I once saw that showed a hot dog (wiener) with arms, legs and face reading his mail that said: "You too may be a wiener".....

    If I may interject, dear beloved people's leader Obama appears to have graduated from Harvard.

    But I could be sorely mistaken.

    Surprise, surprise. Another lie from Finley99. Why do I doubt all vote Republican when Finley99 is there. So, bull(*)(*)(*)(*), Finley99. Oh, and my sister lives in rural Tennessee, is doing fine no thanks the Washington and the thieving liberals, and will be happy to pour a pot of (*)(*)(*)(*) out her lovely window on your head, and she votes for candidates that care about America. That would not be Democrats, Communists, or Progressives.

    Or it is the other way around, lower higher thinking abilities would lead to employment in unskilled jobs and such. Which makes more sense than poverty causing an onset of lower thinking abilities.

    He cares nothing for the poor and looks down upon average ordinary Americans too.

    Or he wouldn't be ruining this country in favor of his anti American idealigy.

    No, to make the system you just have to be rich, and rich does not equal smart. Or good. Or tough. Or anything else that rich people want you to believe that they are.

    Wow... so there's a rough though far from perfect correlation between intelligence and economic income? Are you somehow implying that being a smarter person may actually increase your chances at economic success in life?!

    OMG what will they prove next? That showing up for work on time (or at all) may improve your chances of keeping your job? Or spending time on homework positively correlates with academic success?

    It may be so, but the great inequality gap in which more and more of the nation's income are going to the richest instead of the middle/poorer classes didn't start happening in1981 because 90% of Americans all of a sudden got stupid.

    Something else happened that year.

    The great inequality gap in which more and more of the nation's income and wealth are going to the richest instead of the middle/poorer classes didn't start happening in1981 because 90% of Americans all of a sudden started dropping out, marrying bums, and making bad choices.

    Something else happened that year.

    Business profits are at all time highs and the 1% and 0.1% and 0.01% who own them are getting more of the nation's income, and the middle/poorer classes less, than any time in modern history.

    If that is the result of treating them like "friggin' enemies" maybe we should start treating our middle class like "friggin' enemies" instead.

    Any evidence that Obama did not earn his magna cum laude degree in Harvard on the merits, or is this just an example of your racist attitude?

    Poor people are more likely to be stupid often because they're poor!
    They can't get good education, because they should work hard since childhood. That's why i often talk - "If you don't wanna see stupid Americans, Mr president - make our education FREE!"
    Also, you're not right, because lack of education doesn't mean that u r stupid.

    Any evidence he did and any evidence to back up your judgement (that I'm a racist)?

    You made the claim. Now carry the burden of proof.
