To: Comparative Advantage

Article states’ Trump offered no proof of his claim.” The same article then goes on to state about Obama, “He went on to Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude 1991 and was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.”

All right, then AP, let’s see YOUR proof about the “Obama graduated magna cu laude and went on to Harvard and became first black president of the Harvard Law Review” - got any PROOF of that?

The difference between you and “the Donald” is that he doesn’t claim to be a journalist - but your writers do, which implies a responsibility for what you try to pass off as fact. Looks like Donald is one-up on you and yours.

He did graduate Magna Cum Laude, not from Columbia (even in a gut major like PoliSci), but from Harvard Law School. That is a matter of public record. Harvard Law School has a well known history of grade inflation (ask any hiring partner at any major law firm), particularly in the case of affirmative action admitees. Their theory is that if you are smart enough, or connected enough, to get into HLS, they are not going to look too critically at your work once you get there. Or, to put it another way, "why should we at Harvard give your work the 'C' it deserves, when we know you'd get an 'A' anywhere else?"

The selection process for Harvard Law Review President had been "democratized" by the time Obama went there. It was a beauty contest won by popular vote, not by achievement. Obama never published anything of significance in the Harvard Law Review.

These are the reasons Obama fights so hard to hide his academic records. They would scream "Affirmative Action Baby."
