Yes, but do you really think that he says what he truly thinks when he's making a speech to the nation? He's trying to get people to agree with him, not have an intellectual debate. My objection is that if you're going to talk about how "intellectuals" view the classics, you should be talking about scholars. I don't think it's fair to lump all intellectuals in with some speech Obama made.
