Trump takes up Obama's grades and affirmative action

In an interview with AP, Donald Trump raises the issue of Barack Obama's undergraduate grades and his admission to 2 Ivy League schools -- Columbia University and Harvard Law. Trump avers that Obama wasn't merely an OK student, he was "terrible," and wonders how that merited admission to 2 highly competitive schools.

Trump states that he doesn't have access to Obama's well-hidden transcripts, and doesn't specify the source of his knowledge that Obama was a "terrible" student (presumably at Occidental College and the elite Punahou School in Honolulu). However, given Obama's existing biographies, it is no secret that he failed to apply himself to his studies when he was younger.

Trump does not utter the words "affirmative action," but that is clearly the implied answer to the questions he raises. Richard Baehr comments:

Most Americans do not like affirmative action. if Trump has found some transcripts, it would explain why Obama has hidden them, and damage his halo for brilliance (though it may take more time to change David Brooks' mind), and be pretty embarrassing and a distraction for him, raising more questions of what he has hidden.

Studies of ten of the most elite schools admissions files revealed that being black is worth an extra 330 SAT points (back when the maximum was 1600).

The interesting aspect of all of this is that the sort of families who place greatest emphasis on getting their children into elite colleges also tend to be the urban elites whose support for Obama has been strong. It is not clear to me that the revelation that Obama got a lot of help getting into Columbia and Harvard would sour them on him. But it would, as Rich writes, diminish the reputation for brilliance, which is already suffering in the face of demonstrated lack of understanding of basic economics, foreign affairs, and the effects of taxes.

Two scenarios to this:

1. Obama really was born in Kenya or anywhere else except the USA.

2. Obama was born in Hawaii, but was saying he was born in Kenya and an Indonesian Citizen to get a sweetheart deal on a US Foreign Student aid grant.

I could give a crap about his Birth Certificate, We need to see his college records, because if scenario 2 is true that shows that he willingly defrauded the US government, and also deprived another Indonesian citizen of the grant he got.

This is more important because the PC brain washed masses in this country will forgive the baby Obama for the sins of his promiscuous father and loose mother and whatever country they were in when he slid down his mother’s slip and slide. But will they forgive a “supposed champion of the foreigner” for taking away a college education from one of his “fellow” Indonesians?

Now don’t get me wrong I would like to see his Long Form, but I think his college records are 1000% more important because they could open a can of worms that shows deceptive behavior of an adult.

I am a Colleger first, Birther Second.

Regardless of which scenario is true, we know beyond any doubt that he’s been dishonest and is hiding a LOT of things that would be damaging to his image and reputation.

I’m of the belief that he needs to be attacked on every front until he’s driven from the public eye and into a jail cell where he belongs.

Don't forget tution scam (whites vs. blacks):

The college tuition scam

Will Trump bring up the SSN and passport ‘ObamaGate’?

[jcsjcm]

If he applied for the foreign aid for his studies, then at that point he chose his indonesian citizenship as an adult which means he gave up his US citizenship willingly. He would be considered an illegal alien!

[dalebert]

agree

[Blue Turtle]

I love it....Trump is being methodical.

[Aevery_Freeman]

OMG, you are one of “Trump's Transcripters”.

But will they forgive a “supposed champion of the foreigner” for taking away a college education from one of his “fellow” Indonesians?

Honestly, most of his supporters would forgive him if he ripped the head off a bunny on live television.

I want to know what he put on his application to the Illinois State Bar.

[dfwgator]

And more people are waking up and realizing that where there is smoke, there is fire, thanks to Trump.

[pallis]

We don’t need Barry’s transcripts to know he is a dummy, but they would make our knowledge more fun.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” I want to know what he put on his application to the Illinois State Bar. “

How about all applications and transcripts from all 3 colleges. I’ll bet Obama committed felonies regarding his name and financial aid.

[jcsjcm]

"OMG, you are one of “Trump's Transcripters”.

What brought you to that conclusion? Just curious!

Trump is employing the Chinese Water Torture drill to perfection.

There are several other possibilities, such as he is the child of daddy Dunham and a black female on the Isalnds, he is the child of Satnley Ann and a commie buddy of daddy dunham, he was born named Barry Dunham with no father listed ont he original documents, with subsequent replacement documents naming a compliant Barrack Obama as father, including official name change, then again name change when Lolo Soetoro adopted Barry the bastard boy in HI before taking him to Indoinesia to enter schools there. As mentioned, there are several credible possibilities which will not be swept aside by merely having some long form copied from HI records, since we know the people at HI vital records have lied for the bastard and continue to do so.

What you say has merit, because the MSM and the Democrats are already saying the Constitution is "vague" on what it means to be a natural born citizen (I am not making this up).

Even if we were to find videotape of Obama's mother whelping Obama into existence in a hell hole hospital in Kenya, the MSM and the Democrats would tell us everything was hunky dory.

If Obama lied to get "foreign student" tuition to Occidental College under the name Barry Soetero and claiming Indonesian citizenship at the time, he is toast. Most of the public will NEVER forgive him of that - even many (although not a majority) of blacks and Hispanics.

Trump is brilliant for raising the affirmative action angle, for several reasons:

1. The charge of affirmative action is true. There is no doubt Obama has been riding the quota wave his whole life, even to the Presidency.

2. It secretly drives Obama to humiliation and rage to even discuss it, and Trump knows it.

3. Obama's presstitutes in the media are caught between defending Obama of the affirmative action charge, while not raising the shame of it.
