\"wile-coyote-A\"<\/a> We heard a lot during the campaign that Obama was some sort of super genius and an constitutional law scholar. It turns out he was a middle of the road student who thinks we have 57 states and has the constitutional understanding of the mechanical chick Bugs Bunny used to hang around with.<\/p>\n

In short, if he is a super genius it\u2019s the Wile. E. Coyote type.<\/p>\n

Anyway, since currently Herdwatching is on hiatus due to my scheduling issues, I will post the odd political point here on Core \/ Dump. For the most part you can see most of my politics on the Herdwatching twitter account<\/a> and facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A friend of mine recently made a comment on facebook<\/a> I responded to (I won\u2019t copy his post here but you can read it on facebook). Here is my reply.<\/p>\n

I like you Alex, but your way wrong on this issue. The court decision was not only the right one legally but goes a long way to balancing the political contribution system – not upsetting it.<\/p>\n

Add in that Obama flat out lied in his attack on them, and its no wonder Alito stayed as calm as he did. Obama’s crack that the SCOTUS overturned "a century of law" when in fact the law in question was only 7 years old or so is only the tip of the iceberg.
It is common to see Obama go for soundbites as opposed to reality – but there is no reason for Alito and the others to just sit there and suck up being attacked in such a factually ignorant way….<\/p>\n

I also find it interesting that suddenly Obama is worried about financial contributions when during his presidential campaign his team deliberately disabled the common security features of their credit card acceptance system so that they could not later report where the money actually came from.
