Oh yeah, there is also that possiblity which had not occurred to me. He never actually went and that is why he is not showing his records.
Of course, maybe he arranged it so he was “present” without really doing any of the work. He got a AA in all his classes. Affirmative Action that is.

Carol Platt Liebau who was at Harvard the same time as Obama and occasionally fills in for Hugh Hewitt has said as much of Obama when he was head of the Harvard Law Review. She said he just wanted to attain the position, but not do any of the work. Also, link below that contains audio of her filling in for Hewitt and talking again about Obama.
Carol Platt Liebau was the first female editor of Harvard Law Review, and worked under Obama at HLR. She described her experience with Obama as follows.
“A lot of the time he quote/unquote “worked from home”, which was sort of a shorthand – and people would say it sort of wryly – shorthand for not really doing much.
“He just wasn’t around. Most of the day to day work was carried out by the managing editor of the Review, my predecessor, Tom Pirelli.”
“Pirelli’s the one who did most of the day to day work. Barack Obama was nowhere to be seen. Occasionally he would drop in he would talk to people, and then he’d leave again as though his very arrival had been a benediction in and of itself, but not very much got done.”
In 2008, Harvard Law classmate, law review colleague remembered Obama as ‘a pretty cold fish’

While details from President Barack Obama’s college years are scant, with the exception of a few acquaintances’ recollections, in 2008 one of his Harvard Law classmates offered a few seldom-heard remembrances of the president’s time at Harvard.
Conservative commentator Carol Platt Liebau, author of “Prude: How the Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls (and America, Too!),” guest hosted Hugh Hewitt’s February 22, 2008 radio show and described her relationship with Obama during her law school years. Despite his liberal slant, she said Obama was respectful of the conservative perspective when he was president of the Harvard Law Review.
“I knew him reasonably well — as well as most people knew him, if not better — because quite in contrast to this image that Barack tries to project, as someone who is warm and all-embracing and all that kind of stuff,” Liebau said.
“I mean, I will tell you I’ve written a piece that has praised Barack for certain things and I stand by that piece: He was color-blind in the way he chose, staffed the law review when he was president. He did give both sides a fair hearing. He always went with the far-left side, but he did give both sides a respectful hearing, which was fairly atypical at Harvard Law School at that time.”
The essay she referred to was published by Townhall.com in 2007. It described President Obama as a listener but “a liberal’s liberal.”
At the time of Liebau’s radio broadcast, Obama was being portrayed as a great unifier, which inspired bizarre reactions from the likes of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. But Liebau said that was hardly the way he was viewed at Harvard.
“Quite in contrast to this all-embracing kind of ‘earth father’ image — this sort of messianic blaze of glory with which he’s deemed to envelope our television screens — he was a pretty cold fish,” she said
