She doesn't need to, we're a bunch of nerds who will research/make anything up for her.

It's actually brilliant.

I just don't see why a shallow assignment like this one merits any serious time investment on her part.

Then again, I'm the guy who basically never did homework in high school and had over a 4.0 GPA (since we had weighted classes, and all of mine were honors/AP).

Anyone who's as fanatical as you about ANY politician, let alone Obama, should never be a judge.
