It’s like the little kids’ activity, how many things can you find wrong with this picture.
This sentence is in an article by Liz Sidoti of The Associated Press:
“Obama, the lanky son of a Kenyan father and a Kansan mother, was reared in Indonesia and Hawaii. He’s a Harvard University graduate and former Chicago activist …”
Is Obama ungracefully thin and tall? That’s the definition of “lanky.” I’ve seen a video of Obama with a pretty graceful move to the basket.
Obama was born in Hawaii (it was a state by then), and spent 13+ years in Hawaii and four in Indonesia. Is that “reared in Indonesia and Hawaii”? (He was in Hawaii for the fifth grade through high school. He was in Indonesia for ages 6 to 10.)
Obama is a graduate of Columbia University (B.A. 1983). He also attended Occidental College. He did graduate from Harvard Law School, but he is not a graduate of Harvard University.
Isn’t “activist” a charged word? Obama uses the terminology “a community organizer with a church-based group”.
