Donald Trump on Monday suggested he had broadened the scope of his investigation regarding President Obama's background, arguing that - in addition to making inquiries into Mr. Obama's citizenship - he was "looking into" the president's college career.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Trump alleged that Mr. Obama had been "a terrible student," and wondered how he could have been accepted to prestigious schools like Columbia and Harvard Universities.
"I heard he was a terrible student, terrible," Trump told the AP. "How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records."

I am starting to wonder if this is one of those ‘catch me if you can’ situations that got out of hand.
Best of all, if done right, it could take out the MEDIA!!!!
exchange student from kenya.
They thought that with the media firmly behind him, so far up they could see the back of Obama's throat, they could run an ineligible guy who was barely American and full on commie and even get him into the White House.
They were right.
What’s a CIRC? (Haven’t heard that one yet)
“Is that anything like a “triple dog dare”? ;-)”
There is a three dog night in the north latitudes
I don't care what anyone says about Trump. Hearing this line spoken on CBS is like Christmas morning.

I sent this to Levin years ago...nothing, no response at all.
These questions about Barry’s college career have been hanging out there for the past few years, yet there’s been a media blackout on the issue. Finally the questions are getting a minimal amount of attention.
Even more important is the media blackout on Barry’s slim resume. His only previous job experience seems to have been working on a foundation Board with his close friend/mentor, Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers.
You can actually attack from BOTH angles. Its not that hard, like walking and chewing gum at the same time.
Oddly, this is where I think Trumps ‘all over the map’ political donations help. He is not a lifelong conservative and he is not a stupid ‘talking head’ he is a totally different entity. I can’t think of another American who could call out Chairman O the way The Donald is.
Whether you think he is Presidential or not, he is Patriotic...and doesn’t appear to want to destroy the Country that has been so good to him.
Youre either rich or a minority token.
Ive met much smarter people in the military....Their parents were just poor.

Think Gary Hart. He engineered his own downfall. He challenged reporters interested in his ‘’womanizing’’ to tail him and be bored. He got caught before the election. Granted he was a citzen but the mentality is the same.
Now we have a guy in the white house that is daring the world to expose him and has got away with it his whole life. The big 0 scares me in that he does not care if he is exposed, HE KNOWS in his mind that there will not be a penalty. We will get the “so what I won” moment. The elite will go along because it is best for the country and certainly go along because it preserves their position and advances their agenda.
But then I digress

Most of our leaders have come from Yale and Harvard and look where are country is at today? I can see why he thinks this.
Furthermore, I have seen more successful people come from State Universities, college dropouts and even people with a high school diploma. Ivy league graduates behave as if they do not have to work any more... since they went to an Ivy League. I’m sorry but that is just the way they comes across. They have some sort of elitist superior attitude even though most of them end up not being that successful.
Here is a small list of successful people without an Ivy league degree.
Henry Ford (FORD)
Bill Gates (Microsoft)
Larry Ellison (Oracle)
Larry Page (Google)
Michael Dell (Dell Computers)
Paul Allen (Microsoft)
Steve Jobs (Apple)
David Geffen (Geffen Records)
Richard Branson (Virgin)
Ralph Lauren (Ralph Lauren Clothing)
Jerry Yang (Yahoo)
Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook)
Jawed Karim (YouTube)
Now there are a lot more than this, but these are the well known dropouts. Getting back to the original point. I just don’t have as much respect for the Ivy Leagues as I use to. If I was hiring and I had two applicants. One from a State college and the other from an Ivy league. I would probably hire the one from the State college. This is because I believe that State graduate would be more productive than the Ivy league applicant. I’m sorry but that just has been my experience.
Graduated Columbia without honors, yet accepted at Harvard law school.
Wonder who pulled strings to get him into Harvard and why?
How does it go now? Divide and??/
You right, If Trump were to get the nod in the primaries, all he would have to do is pick a real conservative candidate as a running mate. Palin? She is the only one who hasnt taken a swipe at Trump on the tour.
When I took my ASVAB test in the 9th grade, I had the military’s immediate attention. Picked the Army (although my late father had been a carrer Marine) and I was “persuaded” to bypass every other occupational field for military intelligence. Later during my enlistment I was asked to attend West Point Prep in New Jersey, which I foolishly turned down.
Nobody as rich as Trump goes anywhere without a very strong security cordon. He can afford the best.
As are as the Palin treatment is concerned, he’ll just laugh that off.
Bravo!!! Go Trump!
I just don’t feel Trump would risk looking like a loser over this unless he had his homework done.
