Aside from his own autobiography, we have little information about Barack Obama's intellectual growth over the years. According to blogger Steve Sailer, he apparently never published much of anything else, including a note in the Harvard Law Review when he was its president. Friends report that they remember hearing him express respect for others' opinions much more than stating his own. Here's one far-out speculation about Obama's intellectual development, from Asia Times's "Spengler."

Pathetic...

Oh, yeah, you put that little "far out speculation" disclaimer in there, but you knowingly direct USNWR readers to a crazed rant from "Spengler".

If Obama was drinking Marxism with mother's milk, as Spengler says, your readers are drinking insanity with their bullshit... Thanks to you.

You can do better.

You should do better.

In slave times, the intellectual slave was promptly murdered.

How times have not changed.
