TEL AVIV – President Obama, who has refused to release his college transcripts, yesterday divulged his daughter Malia scored a 73 on a sixth-grade science test.
Obama went into unusual detail about Malia's 73, telling a Wisconsin school audience his 11-year-old daughter recently "became depressed," explaining that in the Obama household "our goal is 90 percent and up" on school tests.
Obama said Malia complained her test differed from the class science study guide but that after changing her habits, she scored a 95 on the next science test. He quoted Malia saying, "I like having knowledge."
"In our household with the privileges and opportunities we have, there are times when the kids slack off," Obama said. "Part of our job as parents is not just to tell the kids what to do, but to instill in them a sense that they want to do it themselves."
Obama used his daughter's test scores to make the point that "parents must set a high bar in the household."
The president's disclosure of Malia's test scores, notes columnist Michelle Malkin, contrasts with his refusal to release his college transcripts.

Ping.
I’m surprised that her teacher hasn’t been sent for re-education.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm surprised she didn't blame Bush.
Ooops. This “throw”.
The teacher probably graduated during one of the Bush’s administrations, therefore it is definitely Bush’s fault.
He’s a real pr*** to say his daughter was doing cra*** in school.
True. That is why one is called a test and one is called a study guide.
Did he disclose her thesis, or is that a state secret like his.
How embarrassing, to have a less than stellar grade announced to the world.
Obama... I don’t a rats rear how or what your brats are doing in school.
With grades like that, they should turn out to be very good as community organizers...... for the blacks.
Only a 73? I figured since her parents are supposedly so smart that it may have rubbed off on the kids too?
I like having knowledge too....about YOUR BIRTH CERTIFIGATE!
A September 2008 Wall Street Journal op-ed noted, “Some think his transcript, if released, would reveal Mr. Obama as a mediocre student who benefited from racial preference.”
Imagine that. It would be really embarassing for the Obama sycophants.
the bamster can’t afford a frikkin’tutor for his child but will hold her up to national humiliation for his own lack of foresight and his personal deficiencies
SHAME on the bamster!
I thought this was a shameful use of his daughter to make a point....but then I thought better of it. I thought instead he probably made it all up as he is fond of doing...
The Obama girl’s Grade Czar is conducting negotiations that are well underway and everyone is sure that a bipartisan consensus on the concept of grades only being given that are 90 or above will be the result.
Now we have to hear about his kids’ grades? What next? Is he going to report that they didn’t have any cavities when they went to the dentist?
If I had known how easy it is to be president, I would have run for the office myself. Golf, travel, schmoozing with foreign leaders, making self-serving speeches... doesn’t sound tough at all.
