Pat Buchanan to Chris Matthews: "You're supposed to be a journalist."
I surfed onto PMSNBC just as Pat was delivering that line. Chrissy almost wet his pants.
He had to ask The Punk, Terry McAuliffe, to take Pat's next question.

[stockpirate]

Pat is a liberal isn’t he. Or just a nut.

But if he is attacking the records issue God help him.

I think there is blood in the water....

[bereanway]

I think Buchanan whiffs on the issue. He turns it into an affirmative action question when it goes way, way beyond that.

[GnuHere]

I’m glad Trump is also bringing up this issue that the weenie GOP was afraid to touch during the campaign, ‘cause that would be RACIST.

[Cicero]

Pat is not my favorite guy. But this is delicious. Blood in the water, and the sharks are all coming out.

Chrissy wasn’t expecting this from Pat, I bet! It’s getting to the point where they aren’t safe interviewing anybody.

[Jack Hydrazine]

How does a ‘C’ average student from Occidental College make it into Columbia?

[Cheerio]

Honestly, I want to see his college and university records more so than his CLOB or long form. The only reason you hide something is that you have something to hide. AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW - HE IS PERFORMING PUBLIC SERVICE AND WORKS FOR US. We are not his subjects although he behaves like we are.

[paul51]

the more they protest, the more you know they are hiding something. The laughing and not stop criticism is like whistling in the dark. Let's see the paperwork barry.

[Minn]

Dumb of Buchanan to focus on the affirmative action stuff. Just show us the Occidental application and admission info.

It also isn't too much to ask the media to show some curiosity about the academic writings of the man that wants to be president, maybe his medical records too. Just imagine the look of indignation you would see on Obama's face if anybody ever asked him if he ever held an Indonesian passport or applied anywhere as a foreign student, or simply asked him to release all academic transcripts and writings, so we could get an idea of his political philosophy as a young campus radical.

Since they failed so miserably to vet this guy the first time they have a lot of nerve claiming it's all just water over the damn now.

[OldNewYork]

Pat Buchanan to Chris Matthews: "You're supposed to be a journalist."

And that is why you can say whatever you like about Pat Buchanan, but I'll still listen to what he says. He does alright in those two-on-one situations.

The two opposing him are not really ever able to get it together and coordinate anyway. It's like in martial arts, where just from the physical reality, there's only a certain amount of people who can assault you at the same time without getting too much in each other's way. And that of course can be used to advantage.

[Seaplaner]

We want more than grades. We want COMPLETE and OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS! We want courses, professors, text books, classmates, and degrees (if any).

I very strongly suspect that Mister Obama's potential college education deceit is a substantially greater liability than the COLB (which could be a trap); there is a good reason why Mister Obama conceals these college records.

And, GOP hopefuls should have all their own post HS course work transcripts ready to publish (and pass hostile media scrutiny).

[Bryan24]

If I were a betting man, I’d bet a LOT of money that Barak Obama applied to Occidental and Columbia as a foreign student.

[School of Rational Thought]

Matthews makes an error stating the barry “demonstrates this kind of brain everyday” (paraphrasing). It is just the opposite. Obama is clearly showing he is in well above his pay grade. Knowing his poor grades will only confirm it for the nation and that is what Matthews wants hidden.

[bvw]

It's interesting that the most likely motive for the stanch resistance to asking for more records beyond the few and the suspect already proffered can only be that the staunch defenders really think Obama is lying and defrauding America. That is, they -- more than we -- assume the worst case is what he is hiding!

Why else would they so fiercely scorn and mock any who would ask for clarification! If *THEY* though he was really legit, they would have no expectations that what he is holding back and covering up would be needed to be held back. If they were honestly claiming that he was born here, born in Hawaii, that his parents were married, that he was a great student, that he is honest in his applications for college admissions, they would also expect that all the documents he hasn't yet released would be perfectly consistent with those assertions of fact.

But then they don't really believe they ARE true. They think it is likely there is fraud, there are deceptions and lies in them. So they insist that no one should bother about them!

Madam, how like you this play?

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Obama’s Years at Columbia Are a Mystery
He Graduated Without Honors
By ROSS GOLDBERG
Special to the Sun | September 2, 2008

• How did he get into Columbia, Harvard or even Occidental a small, expensive private school with high admission standards?

• Being one of many editors of the Law Review – with no published papers
  
• A junior law partner for about a year with no paper trail.

  ************************************************

• Grandfather Obama sent his son Snr to a missionary school, graduated, could not find a job so became a goat herder.
  
• Snr married a girl called Kezia. Snr was more interested in politics and economics than his family and his political leanings brought him notice to the leaders of the Kenyan Independence movement.
  
• Barack Obama Snr started life with the advantage of being able to read and write, but he also felt a profound sense of injustice. His father was a cook for British settlers in Kenya, who him their 'personal boy'.[perhaps the coolness toward the British Royals & The Rich]
  
• Obama Snr American- was put in for a sponsored scholarship in economics, with the idea being that he would eventually use his Western-honed skills in the new Kenya with the idea being that he would eventually use his Western-honed skills in the new Kenya.
  
• Snr at 23 headed for university in Hawaii, leaving behind the pregnant Kezia and baby son.
  
• Relatives called him a slick womaniser. In Honolulu, and the university of Hawaii he "promptly persuaded" a fellow student called Ann - a naive 18-year-old white girl - to marry him. Barack Jnr was born in August, 1961.
  
• Obama Snr was accepted at Harvard.
  
• Ann divorced her husband after she discovered his bigamous double life. She remarried and moved to Indonesia with young Barack and her new husband, an oil company manager.
  
• Mr Obama Jnr claims that racism on both sides of the family destroyed the marriage between his mother and father [not the bigamy?]
  
• Obama Snr was forced to return to Kenya, where he fathered two more children by Kezia and was hired as a top civil servant in the fledgling government of Jomo Kenyatta - and married yet again American-born teacher called Ruth, whom he had met at Harvard [followed him] while still legally married to both Kezia and Ann.

• His mother, Ann, decided that he should get an American education and sent Jnr back from Indonesia to Hawaii, where he was admitted to a £7,000-a-year prep school, Punahau Academy, and lived with his maternal grandparents... while there, says Mr Obama, he was tortured by fellow pupils - who let out monkey hoots [remember recent Tea Party leader and the recent monkey family Fw: e-mail and water mellons on the White House lawn] - and turned into a disenchanted teenage rebel, experimenting with cocaine and marijuana
  
• Jnr's book claims while at Columbia, "no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with the N word[s]."
  
• Mr Obama's 40-year-old cousin, Said Hussein Obama, told The Mail :
  "Clearly, Barack has been very deeply affected by what he has learned about his father, who was my father's older brother.
  "You have to remember that his father was an African and in Africa, polygamy is part of life."
  
• A family friend said: "He is haunted by his father's failures. He grew up thinking of his father as a brilliant intellectual and pioneer of African independence only to learn that in Western terms he was basically a drunken lecher."

  However during the campaign Obama said he was inspired, by his love of the country that allowed his father to triumph against astonishing odds.

[kabumpo]

Someone please tell Pat that Zero was the president of the law review, not the editor.

[Grundforsen]

The Lame Stream Media hard at doing the same as usual for the last 50 + years - nothing but preening their own feathers.

[topfile]

I saw this too.

Best line from Pat:

“Why is it that the Nation Press Corp while Donald Trump is out there supporting the peoples right to know you guys are all supporting the President’s right to conseal?”
