What does he think of Shrub?
He remembers Shrub as an "intellectually shallow, pathological liar without any moral compass." He states, "either he was clowning in class or if he’s called on (I often do that) he makes all kinds of flippant statements. Very shallow. Most of all those flippant statements are nonsensical. But often he revealed his strong biases against the medical, Medicare, social security anything the United States has built up since the Great Depression."
He goes on to say Shrub was, "terrible. Intellectually very shallow. But more importantly immature, but lacking the sense of responsibility, compassion, always indulging in denials when he is called on in his lies. And lies came very easily to him. For example, one statement that he made still stuck with me. We were discussing how the United States Government should help the lower income group or people on the fixed pension to adjust themselves to the high energy costs during the oil crisis, to bring in the fairness into the US economic policies. And he raised the issues and he said, “People are poor because they are lazy.” Those are the lies."
Funny thing how Shrub is PROUDLY, EXTREMELY LAZY and yet--he somehow got his greedy little hands on a lot of money! Gee, how did that happen?

Finally, you know how Shrub is really good at getting others to do his dirty work for him? Tsurumi explains how our Commander in Chief used to do the same exact thing at Harvard. And Tsurumi does some dirty work himself by grading the President’s acceptance speech. Click HERE to listen to the clip.
