What were Barack and Michelle Obama’s grades which “got” them into Columbia and Princeton, and did the NYT find and interview any poor whites who were passed over so that the Obamas could receive their affirmative action quota?
Obama plans a complete overhaul of this country and its institutions. Today he spoke at a WWI memorial and decided to scrap the national anthem because he wanted to make room for one more speaker who would praise him to the skies. As for grades, ability — well, Ayres ghost wrote Obama’s two books. Obama is really the Manchurian Candidate.
Marxists and Islamofascists shaped him long, long ago. A Saudi prince bought a place for him in Harvard Law, and secured the editorship of the Law Review for him by simply funding a new building. Our enemies decided to buy the US Presidency. Much cheaper than trying to defeat us militarily.

Well this guy isn’t a poor white guy, in fact he is the Libertarian Party VP candidate, who happened to graduate from Columbia the same year Obama did. He claims his grades were not good enough to get into Harvard, and he has a suspicion that it was Affirmative action that got Obama through the doors.

Here is the meat of what I am talking about:
“The liberal media will tell you that racism, as I’ve just outlined it, doesn’t exist, or is somehow “just.” Let me tell you through my own experience and that of my college classmate, Barack Obama, just how WRONG they are. As I’ve already pointed out, Barack and I graduated from the same college, on the same day, with the same major, both from lower middle class families. Except for the color of our skin we couldn’t have been more alike. I had good grades at Columbia, (B+ or higher) and good LSAT (Law School admission exam) scores. Good enough, I was told by my Columbia University guidance counselor, that I could gain acceptance into virtually any law school in America, with the exception of the Ivy Leagues (Harvard, Yale, Columbia). “Don’t even bother to apply to your favorite choice Harvard- you just don’t have the grades,” I was told. And, you know something, I accepted the fact that my grades weren’t good enough, and that more qualified applicants should attend those schools.
Yet, Barack was accepted to Harvard Law School. Was it because of his grades, test scores, and college record? Or, was it because of the color of his skin? I think inquiring minds (and voters) have a right to know. My life (and grades) at Columbia are an open book. They are available for everyone to see. But, newspaper after newspaper has told me that Obama’s campaign refuses to release his college transcripts. Why? What has he got to hide? That same Obama campaign never hesitates to mention in every media story that Barack graduated Harvard Law School with Law Review honors. But never even a mention of his Columbia undergraduate record. Why?
Now don’t misunderstand me. I don’t think any of this really matters 25 years later…nor should it. We all know Barack is smart and gifted. We all know he is the best orator since Reagan or Clinton (at least with a teleprompter). However, his grades of twenty-five years ago are very meaningful in the context of this argument.
With two classmates running on competing Presidential tickets, this is the perfect opportunity to openly discuss affirmative action- and why, in my opinion, it must now end.” - Wayne Allyn Root.
