Here’s a piece from Jennifer Rubin calling Obama out on the ignoramus that he is. Rubin hits hard with:
He displays contempt for Americans who don’t agree with his flawed policies, in effect instructing them to shut up. But his arrogance is both unwise (these people vote!) and undeserved.
--continued--
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. That’s the sort of thing Columbia and Harvard JUST LOVE…so we can’t imagine he ever hid any of that. It’s 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.
There’s a reason Obama won’t 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.
With the right professors cocaine induced students make superior students.
“All you had to do was write that whatever topic we discussed “...showed how the evil American is nothing but man’s inhumanity to man as it transcends the class struggle.” The liberal profs ate that crap for breakfast and loved it. “Oh what a bright young man; he gets it!””
It only took my son one or two F’s on well written papers to adapt to regurgitating what the profs wanted to read.
It got to be a fun game between him and me to keep up with the latest dem talking points and buzz words to include in his papers, which he made all A’s on after that.
The funniest ones he ever wrote were for an African Studies class (scheduling snafu required him to take it). In one he justified OJ’s prosecution as being analogous to the efforts of a plantation owner to recapture a runaway slave and another was on a book about a black woman who gets raped by a white man; in that one he claimed the white man’s mentality was analogous to a plantation overseer’s “right” having his way with the slaves.
And based on his other papers about Global warming we are all doomed and one political paper about Obama he successfully argued that if you disagree with him you are a racist.
He made straight A’s on these ridiculous pieces of crap, graduated and now has a successful job in a field completely unrelated to any classes he took in college.
His dad went to Yale, not Harvard. W took the entrance exam for the Harvard MBA program and passed it.
“I thought he had some position at Harvard Law Review and you can see his name in the credits.”
Yep.
First Black Elected to Head Harvard’s Law Review

Wait until HillBuzz fools read this (even though I STILL think she is lying)

That legacy might have helped him get into Yale, his dad's alma mater, where W got his undergraduate BA degree.
Thanks for the clarification. Hoewver, I raised 2 “gifted” children who scored near perfect on GRE; they think circles around dear leader. When he is off teleprompter, he is quite average IMHO. I don’t think he actually earned his honors....If you look at his past, he has a history of using the system to advance himself, I suspect he was admitted thru back door to Harvard and was elected Pres. of Law Review same way. Not supposed to happen, but then who would have thot a guy would get elected with no executive experience—a guy who voted present for the majority of his votes as senator, was physically present a mere 146 some-odd days in Senate.
This isn’t surprising, you don’t have to be educated to become a political rat!
Then why make an article titled, "BREAKING: Obama got all C’s and D’s in college and law school"?
I was kinda under the impression that people might want to form their own opinions, just like I did.
Obama attended college, starting with Occidental, then to Columbia and later Harvard. This is documented, further, if he had not attended these schools of higher learning & claiming he had ... the universities involved would have called him on it by now. What isn't clear is whether he attended classes regularly, what were his grades, and how or who financed his education?
There is no documentation from any of these schools, however the schools in question publicly “say” he went there, but REFUSE to GIVE ANY DOCUMENTATION or PAPERWORK of any kind.
Even though this is a parenthetical statement, this is an excellent observation. Academic experts are experts because they publish research in a specific field of expertise. Does anyone know if Obama has ever been published or written a scholarly article on the Constitution ... ever??
Yet Larry Sinclair said that on BOTH occasions with him, Obama insisted upon smoking crack "during." Larry himself only snorted a little cocaine at the first meeting, nothing at the second, but loverboy Barack pulled out his little crack pipe both times.
I did LOL!
Not to argue the point, but have you perchance read Michelle Robinson's senior thesis -- "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community"?
From what I have read the only “pseudo-scholarly†article he published was with Lawrence Tribe (which means Tribe probably wrote it!) while in law school. This Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and legal relativism in interpreting the Constitution. An utterly ludicrous paper! (You can find it on line with a little effort.) Actually I was amazed that Tribe’s name was attached to it, I don’t like his views on the Constitution but I actually thought he was a legitimate scholar and would not put his name on something so intellectually pathetic. I don’t remember if this article was published in any legitimate law journals, someone told me it was published in the MLA’s (Modern Language Association) journal. (That’s the academic journal that got fooled into publishing a completely fake article where the author ( a physicist) just strung together the favorite “buzz” words he found in other MLA journals. His goal was to demonstrate the scholarly and intellectual content of this journal (and perhaps the whole field modern literature analysis) was zero....like Mr TOTUS a ZERO!
That is true, I think they give a B- to those who get 33% on their test grades.
They never let their average drop below a B because that is often cause to drop out of college programs.
