You're asking how a black man could afford tuition &etc to Columbia and Harvard? In the late 70's/early 80's? Does the term 'Affirmative Action' mean anything to you? Or how about 'minority quotas'? That ring any bells? That's why all this nonsense about how Obama must have gotten financial aid from a foreign country to afford school just cracks me up. My God, he would have had private colleges falling all over themselves to throw money at a qualified African/American student just to get him to come to their school.
Sure, there is Affirmative Action and minority scholarships and all the like. First of all, no one has made any specific claim about BHO being a scholarship student except at The Punaho School. More importantly, scholarship is a moot point in graduate professional schools. Right now, the annual cost of a Harvard Law student is well past $50K. The only “scholarship” program they have is a relatively new program that gives partial reduction for those in public service, and they’re getting rid of it as we speak.
Bottom line, there is no way that BHO, if unassisted, could have graduated from Harvard Law School without a mountain of debt. Since he never seemed to have enough income to come anywhere near to paying off this debt, it is safe to assume that someone (Khalid Masoud?) picked up the tab.

Why do you Libs only see people in terms of black and white?! If he received free tuition for his skin color, he would have held himself up as a success story of Affirmative Action. He has not. Likewise, if Obama was a Rhodes Scholar or something similar, like ‘ol Slick Willie, Obama's publicists would have screamed it from the highest hilltops when he ran for office back in Illinois. No — SOMEONE paid for Obama’s education, and it wasn't him. |
The bells are ringing OK. Here’s something to cracks you up!!!
