    Default Scholars rank Obama as among worst presidents

    http://gazette.com/editorial-scholar...rticle/1546510

    Hah, it's about time the academics woke up. Yes, it's an editorial but the editorial is quoting a theoretically legitimate survey.

    Brookings sponsored a survey of presidential scholars who belong to the American Political Science Association. As [the] Brookings [Institution] explained, scholars who view Obama among "the worst American presidents outnumber those who view him as one of the best by nearly a 3-1 margin." The survey found "nearly twice as many respondents view Obama as overrated than do those who consider him underrated."
    In an article explaining the survey, Brookings reported the social scientists rated Obama poorly mostly because they find him "polarizing."
    Okay, so they missed the fact he's just a clueless idiot and instead focus on the way he divides people but at least they're not deifying him anymore.

    Heck, I could have told them that. I wonder how much the survey cost and who paid for it?

    It's Brookings and it hits Obama without admitting the left wing messages are all wrong so I'm guessing it was paid for by the Clinton Foundation.

    Yes but to be a scholar you have to study these things in great depth to come to your logical and final conclusion.

    Yep, I'd have to say it is official at this point and nothing can be changed.

    I would say that is a "firm" assessment.
