Because Obama's college grades were not stellar,

Since his grades have not been released, how would anyone know?

By now, many conservatives have heard that Khalid Al-Mansour was the man who helped Obama get into Harvard.

This amazing story first came to light during a television interview with Percy Sutton, the former Borough President of Manhattan.

The Obama campaign has totally denied that Obama ever knew al-Mansour and has said that to their knowledge Sutton never wrote a letter for Obama. Now al-Mansour has also denied the whole story. Al-Mansour and others have implied that the origin of the story may be due to Sutton's senility (He's 87).

Another factor that doesn't make sense about the story is that the exact dollar amount of Obama's HLS loans has previously been reported (over $40000). He probably wouldn't have needed loans if he was being bankrolled by the world's richest man.

The fact that Obama did not graduate with any honors has been confirmed by Columbia. Check the underlying link.

You can toss that “denial” in the same pile as Obama’s claim that he never knew Rev Wright was a racist and that he didn’t know anything about Ayers’ past. Watch the link on YouTube in which Sutton explains the situation. Here is entirely coherent in that interview. It was intended as a softball question, and Sutton inadvertently spilled the beans about something that no one knew about.

1)Harvard Law School costs over $200k now. I don’t know what it cost back then but it was still a lot. And its a degree that pays off in the long run, more so back then before rampant university inflation.

2)Everyone got honors at harvard back then. Like 80% of students did. They cut it back recently a few years back to a little under half i believe. Obama could’ve sent an ape to harvard law in his stead and gotten honors back then.
