Able to put words together with mathematical logic and clarity of expression, he is precisely the sort of person who fares well in law school. His personal ethics are unobjectionable. 

Barack was charismatic and a great speaker and savvy to a point but he never came across to me as being all that brilliant. Being the first minority President had its perks. Special protection is a pretty nice perk.  In my opinion, he's overrated but I acknowledge the significance of his election and his place in American history. He represents a monumental achievement, it's to bad he's pissing it all away. If that's brilliant to you, I understand why you are in the position that you are in.

Truly-brilliant people must often downplay their intellect because the masses resent intellectuals. The masses do not understand intellectuals. Smart people can play dumb, but dumb people cannot play smart. I can imagine a different career for Barack Obama in which he finds his way through the judicial branch instead of through electoral politics. Imagine Obama as a prosecutor or judge. He has shown no tolerance for corruption or abuse of power while President, so that seems to be an indelible part of his character. The Chicago machine wanted him out of the way and arranged things so that he would have to run for the state legislature. We all know how that story culminates. 

I can imagine him as a racket-busting DA who goes after official corruption in Chicago on the side. His reticence toward issuing pardons suggests that he is one of those "do the crime and do the time" types. You can understand why the Chicago machine wanted him out of the way. What harm could he do as a state senator? a US Senator? President? Maybe Justice of the US Supreme Court?

The Biden Administration is as close to a fascist regime as it can get in this country without fear of being killed or removed by force.  It's been skirting the line. You are a partisan Democrat. The remaining GOP is going to be wiped out by us democratically or forced to resign by us. America is taking over the Republican party. In short, you aren't an American. You are a partisan Democrat. Do you see how this is going to play out? The last time the Democrats went to war with America, the Democrats lost big time. Sink that into your head because it's coming. I told you that you were making  a big mistake electing Biden at the wrong time in history.

Are you forgetting someone who fits those well?
