Elder Obama denied Harvard PhD
The Boston Globe ^ | April 29, 2011 | Sally Jacobs, Globe Staff

Posted on 04/29/2011 8:14:48 AM PDT by Gondring

Throughout a tumultuous career as an economist in Nairobi in the 1960s, Barack Hussein Obama, President Obama’s father, claimed to have earned a PhD from Harvard University. But according to federal immigration records, Obama was forced to leave the school by administrators alarmed at his freewheeling personal life and financial difficulties.

In a May 1964 memo contained in the elder Obama’s Immigration and Naturalization Service file, an immigration inspector noted that Obama had passed his exams and was entitled to stay and complete the requirements for a PhD in economics. [...]

Not long afterward, Harvard asked the INS to hold up on Obama’s routine request for an extension of his stay, according to a June memo signed by immigration inspector M.F.McKeon. School administrators, the memo continued, “were having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had.’’

Although Harvard had previously assured the INS that Obama could continue his degree program, David D. Henry, then the director of the university’s international office, abruptly advised him in a May let ter that he had three weeks to make the necessary preparations to return to Nairobi. Despite his vigorous protest, Obama was compelled to leave the country in July.

[...]

In April 1961, McCabe called immigration officials and expressed concern that Obama had recently married a young woman named Stanley Ann Dunham[...]

INS officials considered whether Obama could be deported if he were convicted of bigamy, but decided against it. [...]

Although Obama frequently claimed to have earned a PhD from Harvard in the years to come and insisted he be called Dr. Obama, he never fully recovered from disappointment over his failure to get the degree he had worked so hard for. [...]

Wow. Some great lines in the story.... “were having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had’’ is only one of them. :-)

I wish I was adept at organizing. I would start a site where all the brilliant minds who have analyzed these certificates and other abnormalities about Obama could congregate. they could put all the information into one format for a law suit. Just a thought. There are great minds out there and a lot of information.

Just a though

Heh!

And we’ve still got two more years of old smegma lips.

I'd say, "an Oval Office occupant," but some birthers would disagree.

Releasing records = good when it implies some racists wrong
releasing records = bad when it helps prove/disprove Constitutional requirements for eligibility.

Hooray for transparency, Hooray for Zero

PING for later.
This ushers in a whole new BIRTHER area. Should Barack Sr. and his ‘citizenship and resident’ status be focussed on, since the WH and Obama have rendered the Birth Certificate now “CASE CLOSED”? Even if the Hawaii BC is legit, and if Barack Sr is Barack Jr’a biological father, both Barack Jr.s
parents have certain requirements to fulfill. IOW, what about Barack SR’s Harvard records, for openers.

I think the president hates the UK because his grandfather was persecuted during the Mau-Mau rebellion in the 1950s. This is why he sent the Winston Churchill bust back.
I think the president hates the US because it chased his Daddy away when Barack was a little boy. This is why he is destroying our country.

I think he is a very messed up dude.

It’s happened once. Maybe it can happen again!

Fron the article: “Obama is considered by [redacted] to be a slippery character,’’ according to a January 1964 memo by immigration inspector K.D. MacDonald.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

I wouldn't want to be held accountable for everything my father did or did not do. Those who have no achievements of their own brag about their ancestors.
