Comments on "Obama's Ancient Leadership Style"

Obama's Ancient Leadership Style

Obama embodies the most basic, ancient requirements of a true leader. He inspires admiration, trust, and the desire to be led by him. He's clearly a superior human being without a superior attitude. Read More

You Lie!

"Notice the respectful-but-unimpressed immediacy with which Michelle laughingly challenges Barack when he says he washes dishes ("Like when?")"

Even Michelle Obama says You Lie.

In a loving way.

Where and when was Jimmy

Where and when was Jimmy Carter awarded a PhD in nuclear physics? Here is the Jimmy Carter Library's page on his educational background:

And here is his biography:

http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/documents/jec/jecbio.phtml

He did some graduate work, but that's a long way from a PhD. I can't even find a reference to him having an MS or a certificate. The man was President of the United States and is a Nobel laureate, don't you feel it's kind of silly to inflate his curriculum vitae?

my bad

Turns out I was misinformed about Carter's Ph.D. (or lack thereof). I'd heard years ago that he was a "nuclear physicist," but that seems to be not quite right.

As a former president and Nobel laureate, Carter's accomplishments are easily accessible to everyone. Don't you feel it's kind of silly to assume I intended to inflate his CV?
