That's a really good question, colorado tanker. All facts about the Usurper-in-Chief's past have been hermetically sealed, including the histories of his grandparents, the Dunhams. Of course, as you know that includes all his school records, and just about everything else....
It's curious to recall that several weeks back I read an article here at FR that quoted a member of the Columbia University International Relations B.S. program, Class of 1982 (or was it '84? — I don't recall at this moment, but I do note that Wikipedia no longer gives dates for Obama's degrees as earned). Anyhoot, this respondent claimed that Barack Obama, based on his own statements, would have been in his class — but he claimed to have checked with his class members, and none of them remembers a "Barry Obama" or "Barry Soetero." That would be very strange, to say the least; since this group would have been in classes together throughout their four-year degree program. I don't now recall this gentleman's name — unfortunately.
[If anybody recalls and still has a link to this story, I'd be so grateful if you'd post it here!]
Notwithstanding, I consider the Usurper-in-Chief to be a "highly-educated" person: He has been educated by, among other persons, Hegel; Darwin; Marx; Machiavelli; Gramsci; Cloward/Pivens; Alinsky; Frank Marshall Davis; the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; Bill Ayers; et al. He is a Left Progressive, and just as "far-Left" radical as one can be, up to and including Black nationalist sympathies. (E.g., his Justice Dept. gives the Black Panthers a pass on voter intimidation charges, a criminal complaint — and the Congress goes along!!!) So much for the "healer, not a divider" president....
It is obvious that Obama is following the Alinsky playbook in, for instance, demonizing the Banks. That entire playbook depends on carving people into different interest groups, and then pitting the different groups against each other. E.g., union workers vs. rich bankers.... The idea is to create so much controversy and chaos that the entire society is undermined....
In short, the basic idea is you can't "solve" problems you haven't "created first."
Or: "Never let a good crisis to to waste."
By these means, he is trying to "realize" a Second (or alternative) Reality in America. The only way he can do that is to destroy the First Reality — our common culture, values, principles, the ethos of the American people, our fundamental rule of law, the Constitution — in order to create as much social chaos as possible, and then seek to present himself as the "solution" to all the social discord/dislocation problems he has worked so assiduously to create in the first place.
Kiddos, we're in the grip of a massive con game....
It’s just speculation, but my theory is Barry majored in ethnic studies (somewhere!) with a mediocre GPA, was an affirmative action baby at Harvard with a mediocre GPA and was put on law review by affirmative action. That’s stuff they really, really wouldn’t want to be public.
Thank you so much for your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
