Heres a piece from Jennifer Rubin calling Obama out on the ignoramus that he is. Rubin hits hard with:
He displays contempt for Americans who dont agree with his flawed policies, in effect instructing them to shut up. But his arrogance is both unwise (these people vote!) and undeserved. Had he not spent trillions on a flawed Keynesian economics, had he not botched the Middle East peace talks, had he not misread the mullahs, had he not mistaken appeasement for reset with Russia, and had he not hired ill-prepared senior advisers (who now must be cast off), his self-satisfaction might be warranted. But to put it bluntly, where does a garden-variety leftist with a track record as bad as his get off telling the voters that they lack adequate reasoning skills?
This is part of her rebuttal against all the Obama cultists who claim this man is an intellectual. Rubin calls him a snob.
We go a step further and call him out as the poster boy for Affirmative Action that he is.
If Obama had done well at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard, he would have turned his college and law school transcripts into wallpaper so his cultists could wallpaper their mothers basements with them. There, theyd eat their Hot Pockets, wearing their faded, ill-fitting (too many Hot Pockets!) HOPE! tee shirts and gaze up in wonder at all the As and maybe one or two Bs Obama received if those were really his grades.
We remember the 2000 campaign where Al Gore released his college records in an effort to prove he was smarter than George W. Bush, a Harvard MBA. Bush then released his transcripts and he not only had a higher GPA than Gore, but took harder classes too. Instead of Underwater Basket Weaving and Intermediate Farting, Bush took, you know, FINANCE courses and BUSINESS classes. Oh, yah, and he also learned how to fly airplanes in the Reserves.
Obama was a C or D student in college who was passed and promoted aggressively because he was a smiling, biracial, man with a weird name who more likely than not played up on his Muslim upbringing in Indonesia in all of his college admissions essays and other course work. Thats the sort of thing Columbia and Harvard JUST LOVE so we cant imagine he ever hid any of that. Its what made him interesting to the academic elite this little brown boy raised in the jungles of the Pacific, mentored by Frank Marshall, with that Kenyan last name.
They just ate that stuff up.
Theres a reason Obama wont release those transcripts or any of the other dozens of documents he spends millions of dollars concealing. Historians will eventually find them all, and one day in the future when all of us are long dead future Americans will have a better, if not ever fully accurate, picture of who the 44th President of the United States was.
We bet this intellectual will, in the end, ultimately be proved to be that C or D student we suspect, among other things hes done such a good job hiding.
OK an article saying they “bet” those will be his grades hardly deserves the headline that these WERE his grades.
Nice article but please.
That's what I think...and Affirmative Action for both Obamas.
An Affirmative Action President ... now it all makes sense.
ping!
Ping..................
That’s what I figured 0b0z0 is good for. If he had the grades he wouldn’t have let’s forget it! He and his thugs would have stuffed them in our faces or worse.
This is why I wanted to see the records and whether he ever graduated or just affirmative’d (a new verb of mine) all the way as present.
The coke-head, pos, Communist puppet is a ghost of a POTUS!
You friendly ghoster!
They didn't in my day (late 1970s), but I don't know if they did in O's time. Fair point.
Odd how the MSM could find Bush’s grades but not Obama’s....
They voted for him because he’s black, good looking, and young. All that could have been known about him was available prior to 11/4/08. I’m sorry, but I don’t give them a pass. In fact, I’ll never forgive those who voted for him.
An "F" student but a conservative student would outperform these clowns no matter what grades they got.
He was too much of a druggie to have ever done anything worthy in school...no way a half-bred had to do a thing to be pushed along to graduation and actually did very little to graduate....he is an absolute embarrassment for all of us.
Yeah, it’s interesting that the MSM could obsess for months on GWB’s whereabouts every minute while he was in the TNG, but Zero’s entire nativity mystery and unknown life is of no interest to them whatsoever.
I call bogus, Liberal Universities don’t give students C’s and D’s and pass them because they like them. They give them A’s and B’s because they like them and pass them.
There is NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER that any white professor at Occidental, Columbia, or HLS between 1979 and 1993 would have given a person of the African-American persuasion who was an "out" socialist a "C" or a "D". It is inconceivable.
It is barely possible - and I do mean BARELY - that a brave rebel would have given him a "B". But not likely.
I'm certain Barry was an "A" student - simply because the system would not allow him to be anything else.
Dr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University.
During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his roommate from Pakistan.
Barack [Obama] and Hasan showed up at the house in a BMW, and then we went to a restaurant together, Drew says. We had a nice meal, and then we came back to the house and smoked cigarettes and drank and argued politics.
For the next several hours, they discussed Marxism.
He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth, says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.
The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others, Drew says. That this was the secret of their wealth, that they werent paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.
Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society. ..."
Referring to Obamas quote from Dreams of My Father that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, What hes not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obamas later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wrights ideology.
Yes, he, Bill Ayers, and Bernardine Dohrn are ALL intellectuals, at least in their minds...

"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at"

Next best is you had an outstanding undergraduate record ~ top grades, top activities, top top (and at enormous state universities too).
Then there are the folks who got in because Grandpa's bequest had a stipulation about his descendants.
Assuming there are any positions left, there are legacies ~ and then there are LEGACIES!
There are folks who are known to be the umpteenth generation decendant of the founders, or the colonial governors of Massachuetts ~ and an almost casual review of Colonial Dames and DAR records will let you know if you have a chance of better consideration (way beyond grades and money) if you mention such ancestors in your application.
Besides being a Harvard legacy (his supposed baby daddy graduated from the school AFTER having been recruited), Obama has ancestors who founded the school. That's what his grandma was into ~ genealogy ~ and she probably even found her only grandson a free ride!

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour
"Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.
Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical groups."
...
Al-Mansour is an outspoken hater of the United States, Israel, and white people generally. In recent years he has accused the U.S. of plotting a genocide designed to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society. He has told fellow blacks that whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and thats when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, dont worry because God wants you to do it. Alleging further that Palestinians in Israel are being brutalized like savages, he accuses the Jews of stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.
