I’m parTICularly puzzled as to the Harvard Law records. Here’s why.

To earn a Magna Cum Laude, a graduate had to have grades in the top 10% of the class (BELOW any who qualify for SUMMA cum laude, which requires nearly perfect grades).

Point being, top grades, right? Nothing at ALL to hide?

Unless, well, what? Unless Obama took wacky left-wing courses? Or maybe AT HARVARD there is nothing to hide, but Obama is concerned that he DOES have something to hide from Occidental/ Columbia (and that releasing the Harvard records alone would seem suspicious).

Speculation is that young Barry entered Occidental College as a foreign student with a passport from Indonesia as documentation. He was legally adopted by Lolo Soetoro, hubby of babymama, Stanley Ann.

He was older than the other students and possibly more disciplined (strange as it may sound now given his performance in office).

But if I was informed correctly, students take the tough "black letter law" courses in the first year. In the second and third year there's more room for airy electives.

Somebody who is really going for expertise in corporate or criminal law and takes demanding, fact-based courses, will usually get worse grades than someone who takes political theory courses -- and we know that Obama took theory courses.
