| #4 I believe Harvard and Yale should be held accountable for a majority of the trauma the US has suffered. To put this in context... I rejoiced when I saw that Harvard lost big time on the economic crash. It couldn't have happened to a smugger bunch of jerks. |

| #3 Congress and Americans were told to sit and listen, not unlike the nationÂ’s schoolchildren this week, and be lectured by the professor in chief. More of a sermon than a lecture. I read his "detachment" as anger, and a 'bugger you little people, I'm boss now, get over it.' I hope to see more of it displayed in the coming months. Much, much more. |

| #2 'moose, while there's some truth to what you say (I went to school there), I think the biggest part of the problem is the 'mirrored room' effect - these 'elite' see only their small cadre of like thinkers reflected and repeated in all directions such that they BELIEVE they really are everything that matters. The second biggest part of the problem is that 'we, the people' seem to believe it too. We have traded our liberty for a false security rather than stand together against 'our betters.' |

| #1 The most important part of Obama is his Harvard years, and why anything he did, the classes he took, and especially anything he wrote, has been kept secret. For years it has been known not just that Ivy League graduates are "ethically challenged", but that they are imbued with what could best be called "anti-ethics". This is joined with a sense of elitism, and entitlement, and especially loyalty only to their school peers. Ivy League graduates are sometimes called "corporate cancer", because they offer no loyalty to their employer, see work as just a stepping stone of personal advancement, and will conspire to make and provide work for schoolmates ahead of others with better qualifications. A bad corporate culture results. This Ivy League failure is made worse with radical politics, because leftists use a similar modus operandi to accomplish their goals. This is seen in organizations taken over by leftists, who abandon the original goals of the organization in favor of supporting the overall leftist agenda. |
