That is why I think this is a perfect time, place and opportunity for an open honest national discussion and debate on affirmative action. That is why I've made this public challenge to my classmate Barack Obama- to prove that his grades were better than mine, and to thereby prove that he deserved to gain admission to Harvard Law School. I think Barack owes us all the opportunity to see his Columbia college transcripts. I seem to remember liberal critics of George W. Bush denigrating his Yale grades- until we found out that W's grades were better than either Al “I invented the Internet” Gore or John Kerry. Why was it important for the media to know W's grades? Why is no one in the media demanding that Obama release his college transcripts?

He makes sense, but that's assuming obama actually attended - IMO it appears someone bought and paid for his degree.

Just to set the record straight, It wasn't me! :)

I do however have a copy of MY HS transcript. Satisfied the US Navy for enlistment, but I don't boast about my grades... nothing to boast about beyond stating my last name isn't or never has been "TOOT". :)
