winsor 187 #2 February 2, 2014 rickjump1http://news.yahoo.com/cruel-heartless-obama-mocks-most-loyal-unquestioning-supporters-133552482.html Can this President of the United States say anything without a teleprompter? Mock though he might the Art History curriculum, he would have been well served to have studied History of ANY persuasion while in academia. Perhaps History will be kind to him, but his ignorance of the subject is breathtaking. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems that the mocking was primarily in the eyes of the writer. YOU see what you want to see.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

It seems that the mocking was primarily in the eyes of the writer. YOU see what you want to see. No. In the context of his speech, Obama was definitely poo-pooing Art History degrees. The writer was simply implying that there are other fields of study that Obama could have attacked that are even more useless than Art History ... at least in terms of finding a well-paying job.

regulator 0 #6 February 2, 2014 And obama is the master and commander of those fucking idiots. He leads by example and by that I mean he is the worst president in the history of the united states. That's something liberals can hang their hat on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,648 #7 February 2, 2014 muff528*** Since the writer of the article you cited wrote this: Then, however, Obama went on the offensive against America’s most useless major that doesn’t have the word “studies” or “gender” in it.

The writer was simply implying that there are other fields of study that Obama could have attacked that are even more useless than Art History ... at least in terms of finding a well-paying job. So there's clearly agreement that Art History is a useless degree "in terms of finding a well-paying job". You and the writer agree with Obama. Does ANYONE dispute Obama's statement? If so, I recommend that you look up the ROI on an art history degree. There may be good reasons for a kid to get a degree in Art History, but ROI is not one of them....

Yes, I agree with Obama on the point of his speech. I also agree with him in that I, too, "love art history". I was only trying to understand your point ...re: whether it was Obama or the writer who was mocking the choice of Art History as a major. (or whether the writer only perceived Obama's statement as "mockery".) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #15 February 3, 2014 As gaffs go, that was incredibly lightweight. If I had been sitting in the audience, I would not have noted it. You have to wear your heart on your sleeve (IMO) to be offended by this. To go so far as to call him cruel and heartless was silly enough that I would call the article satirical. He's not my favorite president, but I reserve my criticism for serious flaws.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
