[QUOTE=justplugit] Hey Spence, my question almost slipped by, but what does Obama have a deep knowledge of?

Does his "deep knowledge" of the Constitution inform him that what he seems to consider his mission is actually unconstitutional? He seems to have admitted as much when he lamented that the Constitution basically limits the government to certain negative liberties but does not say what it can "do for" the people. Does his "deep knowledge" of "Civil Rights" lead him to understand that his unconstitutional doing for the people deprives them of their civil right to do for themselves? Does his "deep knowledge" of criminal justice let him know that his unconstitutional usurpation of power is a crime of political malfeasance, even, dare I say, of treason against the Constitution he swore to defend? As for his deep knowledge of "etc.", he's undoubtedly very proficient at etcetera . . .etcetera . . . etcetera.
It was interesting in the Woodward book (Obama's Wars) how the Generals and policy makers remarked how much a departure working with Obama was vs Bush. Bush was a listener while Obama is engaged, inquisitive and really challenges the substance of what's being presented to him on just about everything.
And Woodward's opinion shows Obama's "deep knowledge" of what? Perhaps listening acquires more knowledge than challenging.
He's also reported to be a work-a-holic. I really doubt his vacations are all that relaxing...he still probably puts in an 8 hour day.

Is being a work-a-holic a sign of "deep knowledge"?
