He got on the Harvard Law Review not through grades and NOT THROUGH the writing competition, as had been previously claimed, but through Affirmative Action.

There’s a letter to the Harvard Law Record (magazine for the school) where Obama states this as a fact.

Actually the letter says that the procedure used for affirmative action at the Review would make it impossible to tell if that's how he was chosen. He admits that he could have been selected that way.

But Obama did graduate magna cum laude from HLS. It's hard to see how this could be affirmative action since it is supposed to depend entirely on grades and all the first year grades come from anonymously graded exams.

Show me the transcripts and I’ll believe it.

Show me the LSAT, ACT, SAT scores.

Shoe me college grades.

You can read Obama’s article in the Columbia paper. Cashill analyzes it to show Obama was a C-level writer at best.

His letter to the Harvard paper included a typo. This what you want From the editor?

$20,000,000 donation got Obama into HLS. What does that buy?

Obama is in control of his own narrative. The fact he won’t disclose information means he has a good reason to not disclose information.

I’ve never seen Obama asked real questions in an interview or had to think on his feet. He’s constantly tosses softballs, especially by BOR who wasted a pre-election opportunity.

Obama supposedly practice law at one point. Where are the lawsuits he filed, briefs he wrote? There are none to be found.

Obama foes have good speech writers and smart political handlers. Get him off script and he’s babbling about 57 states and breathalyzers.

It is said he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. It is said he was born in Hawaii. We have no proff of any of it and leftists have no problem with lying. Muslims, too.
