What is amazing is that some, even on this site, are willing to give him a pass for four more years!
Whoa - is that a great line or what??
Is that a great line or what?? Ping.
How such an indifferent student got into a law school whose applicants' LSAT scores typically track between the 98th and 99th percentile and whose GPAs range between 3.80 and 4.00 is a subject Maraniss chooses not to explore. Instead of checking his college records, or even asking why they have been sealed, he takes Obama's word on his grade point average. That, my friend, is not journalism.
Washington Post? Why am I NOT surprise...
That, my friend, is not journalism.

It is very difficult to keep even one or two lies straight, over time. What to speak of a huge mythical “life story” based on countless lies.
They cannot keep anything straight.
“Unravelling” is a word that comes to mind.
I get around...someone posted a link on the current Long Thread of great info!
(In case you haven’t seen it, gets going in the 300’s IIRC)

I went to Amazon and voted for “Helpful review”. Everyone with an Amazon account should do that!
ping, from this morning
One of the only practical PC back in 83 was an IBM 5150 at a cost of up to $3,000.00 and did not come with word processing software!
Unfortunately in dealing with Mwai Kibaki, now president of Kenya, the author has made this one reference. Page 390.
This was the same Mwai Kibaki who later became president of Kenya and whose tenure was marked by deadly tribal strife when Luo believed he fixed the election and kept them from power.
I went to Dr Jerome Corsi and his book "The Obama Nation". Pages 102-107. There follows the almost incredible Odyssey of the then Senator Obama in 2006 to Kenya. The senator took part most actively in the election which pitted Raila Odinga (Luo) against Mwai Kibaki (Kikuyu). There was both resentment from one side and a euphoria from the other side. Luo claims Barack Obama Jr as theirs.
Kibaki was elected. We learn that a 1000 people were slaughtered and many thousands "displaced," by the cruelty of the Odinga supporters. Kibaki was forced to create a position of Prime Minister for Odinga. The same Odinga who now courts Islam.
Senator Obama had exhorted peaceful negotiations by telephone from Chicago to Kenya.
One has only to read Dr Corsi on this subject. That someone should be allowed to interfere with another countries election and get away scot free, boggles the mind. I stand corrected but so far, I cannot find a reference by Maraniss about this event. Maybe in his next book, which he stated is forthcoming about the now president.
Good catch, put it on Amazon...
And that should be easily found! A wedding license, a wedding invite from the good old days, etc.
Except, they probably faked that too!
Good idea, done...
Did you read this article? Maraniss clearly reveals his extreme bias. He’s useless, he’s an 0bama suckup is all.
I’m trying to find the FR thread on it:

Also it was discussed on this very long and extremely informative thread:
