The Powell Endorsement, Part II

Rich Lowry's take at NRO. Read it.

One sound bite from the endorsement that sticks in my mind is Powell's contention that Obama has "intellectual vigor." There is nothing from his record which suggests anything of the sort. He was editor of The Harvard Law Review, yet he has no published scholarly articles, not a student note or anything else, to include his time as an adjunct law professor. He has not released his student records from Columbia or Harvard and the conclusion to be drawn is his performance was unimpressive or worse, all of which cut against the campaign narrative.

Yes, it would be dreadful for the country to learn that the great Obama was an beneficiary of racial preferences in university admissions. Not to mention in hiring for community organizers.

Longtime political watchers may recall Gen. Colin Powell has always defended (against the majority of the Republican party) the racial preferences continuing in both admissions and hiring.
