In Obama's speech today on his tax plan, he mentioned that he would not be here without his scholarship.

Does anyone know what scholarship he received and for which college? This is the first I heard of it.

Uh, that would be the Soros, Mao, Marx/Lenin, Alinsky, Cloward-Piven Seditious/Treason Scholarship for sissy butt boys.

He first attended Occidental College in L.A. before transferring to Columbia. His transcripts have never been released—speculation is that the reason for that is that he was the recipient of a scholarship for foreign students only. But it could just be that his grades were bad.

I don’t need another tax cut. . . . Not if we have to pay for it by. . . cutting kids from Head Start. Or by taking away college scholarships that I wouldn’t be here without.

Hmmm.

Good argument to end scholarships.

He taunts people. He has been known to make jokes about his birth certificate. Now he brings up the whole notion of how he got accepted to college (foreign student?) and how his education was paid for (Saudis?).

He is very confident that no one can touch him.

Another tiny crack in the dike that needs real journalist investigation.

1. Scholarship for foreigners (Africans? Asians?) to attend Occidental, where he worked in the student dorms?

2. CIA-(NED-?)funded work-study program that got him his Columbia degree with only a few months worth of study after spending a year or so in AfPak during the the Brzezinski/Gates mujahdeen/Qadea build-up?

The Saudi money that paid Harvard Law wouldn’t be a line item in the US budget, however. See above.

Best argument to immediately end all scholarships.

Nobody knows anything about this guy.

Furthermore, it has never been verified, there is no record, that he ever graduated from any college at all.

Do you have that word for word that he said that? I cannot find where he said that about a scholarship.

Don't hold your breath waiting for some MSM reporter to ask Carny man “what scholarship was the President referring to and what did it cover?”

I am sure he did graduate from Harvard and Harvard Law School.

I admit never seen him with any old college mates or any school mates as that goes.

Who are his childhood friends?

Obama didn’t get a scholarship for foreign students. Bill O’Reilly said somebody just made that up.

So is Scholar the name of the ship that brought him here from Kenya? If it is then it would make his statement correct.
