A third conclusion might be that he only APPLIED to Columbia, but never actually went as he claimed in his book. Maybe THAT is the fact he’s trying to hide, the he applied as a foreign exchange student and got caught, or was never accepted.

Frank, I'd be willing to accept that if it weren't for the fact that Harvard Law ACCEPTED the putz! He had to submit transcripts to Harvard. Surely someone would have noticed they didn't exist.

On the other hand, I do know that leftist colleges in those days did accept BLACK students who had no scholastic background whatsoever. It's even possible some rich Saudi muslim - for whatever hidden reason - merely picked up the phone and said let this kid in. I wouldn't put it past Harvard in those days,...and NOT even these days!

That’s basically what I’m saying, with all of the other skulduggery that has went on in this creep’s life, and his connections, he could have submitted more of his famous forgeries and some political influence to get into Harvard.

But, theories abound with no one proving a thing. Obama is like the old western town run by the rich cattle baron, who owns the town, the sheriff, the mayor, and the newspaper...who’s going to step up to challenge him?

He had to submit transcripts to Harvard.

Schools and colleges may admit whomsoever they please. They may waive whatever requirement they please.

Bets:
(1) He was never matriculated at COLUMBIA COLLEGE, rather he was registered in the school of General Studies. (General Studies students are given degrees by Columbia College)
(2) He was not at Columbia long enough to complete enough course work to get a degree. Off in Pakistan or god-knows-where, most of the time he was supposed to be at school.
(3) He was given credit for life experience in lieu of coursework and pushed through to his degree (without any particular merit or distinction.)
(4) Obama never took the LSAT
(5) He was admitted to Harvard Law on the recommendation of Percy Sutton and Harvard's Affirmative Action Director, a very good "friend" of Sutton's. All requirements waived, as is their right.

Never a good student, Obama exhibits great factual ignorance. His mentors saw that he could be presented well (not an orator, just without any obnoxious accent, was physically impressive, and was of just the right color.) He was the manageable, teleprompter-reader man for their agenda. The "Fix" has been in for this fellow for a very long time.
