pshhh this guy just sounds retarded. the fact that he went to school with Obama doesn't give his argument anymore credibility. actually it should give him less credibility in my opinion since he's more likely to get published simply because he was on the same campus as the president. ooo, he was a classmate....i had a lot of classmates in college....how many of those classmates did i discuss my political ambitions (or, in my case, my entrepreneurial ambitions) with? not many. if this dude had, he would have mentioned it. it's not like obama has some great need to 'stress the system' when that system is already fucked up in so many ways. who has more control than the president? he is the most powerful man in the world.
