Obama hiding college course records raising suspicions?

Since the drive by media refuses to investigate in detail, maybe the National Enquirer should take up the gauntlet.

Concerning the Passport he used to enter Pakistan, who was caught hacking into the passport files? I bet something was altered on his passport no doubt...

Obama’s whole demeanor suggests that he’s someone who thinks he knows it all, and such people are usually intellectually lazy and “uncurious,” to use a word liberals often use against Palin and GWB. So my guess is that as a college student he went through the motions and did just well enough to get by, focusing his core energies on establishing relationships that would further his long-term political and social agenda. And because he had that “magic Negro” quality - superficially hip, well-dressed, articulate, and definitely left-wing - he easily found many enablers to help him advance his personal myth and social agenda.

Good guess -- and it's supported by the comments of his teachers at Punahou and Occidental -- great potential (judged solely from his personal charm and  verbal skills), but "lazy" and underachieving, judged by the test scores.  The records will remain secret because his undergrad work and GPA don't support an admission to Harvard, much less his elevation to President of the Law Review (for which he produced nothing of note), or graduation with honors. Same assessment from the U of Chicago faculty -- charming person of color, but not a serious scholar.

Those that have the real talent and ability to be the kind of President that we want are either disinclined to put up with the bs scrutiny of mundane minutia, are not inclined to take the pay cut, or do not want to soil themselves in the pigsty of politics.

Or else if they’re really that smart then they’re smart enough to by pass the headache of being president!

Ann,
I am so sick and tired of your snarky posts. I have explained to you about my FREEPER name but you constantly have to be a b!tch. Enough of you posting to me because you are a bore.

HAHAHHAHAHA!!! Talk about BORES!!

[curiosity]

While former candidates for president released their college grades and records, including George Bush, Al Gore and John Kerry...

That's actually not true for at least two of the above: they did not release their grades. Rather somebody leaked them.

I'm quite surprised, actually, that no one has yet leaked Obama's grades.

[curiosity]

I think one of the least explored aspects of “Who Obama is,” is his 1981 trip to Pakistan when that nation was on the State Department’s barred list.

It's been explored ad nauseum and refuted. Pakistan was not on any barred list at the time.
