The Real Reason To Dislike Obama

Far worse than anything else that might be revealed about Obama’s past, the recent LA Times story reveals Obama was a teacher’s pet:

Obama’s Indonesian teachers all said he was a leader at a young age. Fermina Katarina Sinaga, Obama’s third-grade teacher, didn’t have to quiet her pupils before class because Obama did it for her.

We all knew kids like this in school, and none of us ever liked those kids.  Nobody is worse-suited to positions of responsibility than a fawning sycophant.
