Obama Was A D Student at Columbia, Failed Economics
All American Blogger ^ | 10/14/10 | Duane Lester

It's possible that while President Barack Obama was a student at Columbia, he wasn't the library monk he claimed to be and was actually still hanging out with the "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.”

Which would explain the D average in his classes and the F in Economics.

Do I have any evidence Obama received these marks at Columbia?

Well, do you have any proof he didn't?

That's the logic Obama hatchet man David Axelrod used on "Face the Nation" this weekend.

"This part about foreign money, that appears to be peanuts," said CBS chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer. "Mr. Axelrod, do you have any evidence that it's anything other than peanuts?"

"Well, do you have any evidence that it's not, Bob?" the White House adviser replied. "The fact is that the Chamber has asserted that, but they won't release any information about where their campaign money is coming from."

If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.

Two years into his presidency, Barack Obama has yet to release anything from his college years. No transcripts, no college thesis.

So, if the Obama camp wants to come clean about his grades, they can. To paraphrase, the fact is that the Obama camp has asserted that he was a good student at Columbia, but they won't release any information about his grades during that time.

I'd also like to know about his time at Harvard. I hear he failed Beginner's Austrian, but excelled at golf.

Baraq the ghost.

Aided and abetted by the MSM for 24 months prior to the election.

If he won’t share his records, I will assume the worst about why.

Now, now... we all know his academic specialty was Marxism: Theory and Practice. How unfair it is to expect him to learn anything about evil capitalism.

No..he was. He knows he will be caught sooner or later and is probably being blackmailed.

I wouldn’t tell lyin’ Democrats anything period. They only want the information so they can intimidate the contributors of their opposition.

We know very little else about 0bama except that he reads well and mostly without an Indonesian/S Asian/ME accent. That, and if we look at the photos, only his hands & head appear darker skinned.

In a world where many classes in college give out “B” grades like candy, it’s hard to fathom a “D” average. This guy must be dumber than a box of rocks.

I like the theory that Boama trained under al kiada and was given a Columbia degree. I understand boama is not in any of the school documentation.

A D would have been generous, based on the application of his knowledge of economics today.
