To: The Magical Mischief Tour

Pay the right people and you get information.

Obama was listed as graduating Occidental without honors (below 3.3 GPA).

But he got into HLS?

He got on the Harvard Law Review not through grades and NOT THROUGH the writing competition, as had been previously claimed, but through Affirmative Action.

There’s a letter to the Harvard Law Record (magazine for the school) where Obama states this as a fact. The editor added a “(sic)” for Obama’s typo — pointing to the fact there was much outrage an unqualified student was head of the Review.

From Eons. (lol) (never heard this “fairytale” before.

Obama’s IQ The Highest Of Any President Ever?
The former Guidance Counselor of Obama’s private Hawaiian school has supplied The Washington Post with a certified copy of
Obama’s Stanford-Banai IQ Certification, one of which was taken in 1966 when he was a kindergardener in Hawaii before moving to Indonesia, and one which was taken as entrance protocol as a freshman in his private (extremely exclusive) Honolulu private highschool.

His IQ was clocked at 172 and 166 respectively (IQ’s normally have a fluctuation of 6 or 7 points from test to test so that discrepency is normal).

That puts Obama in the certifiable clinical genius category.

Obama’s campaign is apparently NOT HAPPY about The Washington Post preparing to disclose this, because they fear it adds to his reputation as not an “everyman” and being too “elitist”.

FYI— HRC’s certified IQ is 140.

Actually the letter says that the procedure used for affirmative action at the Review would make it impossible to tell if that's how he was chosen. He admits that he could have been selected that way.

But Obama did graduate magna cum laude from HLS. It's hard to see how this could be affirmative action since it is supposed to depend entirely on grades and all the first year grades come from anonymously graded exams.

He never graduated from Occidental, its my understanding he spent two years there (maybe just one!) then transferred to Colombia. And Colombia is a mystery because was he at the Ivy League Colombia or the more pedestrian commuter/night school version. (All run by the same academic administration.) I understand you can trade up to the Ivy League version. (I assume with good grades, recommendations, etc.)

Yeah any evidence he made the “Deans List” at Occidental or Colombia (either version!). Where I got my undergraduate degree the university PR department sent that info out to the major newspapers in the region.
