Under the name "Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., Barry graduated from the exclusive Punahou School in Honolulu.
(1) We have no idea of his grades, or class standing. He did not graduate with honors of any kind, and we do not know what his SAT scores were.
(2)He spent two years at Occidental College, in LA, an academically so-so, Left-Wing outfit with no rigorous entrance requirements. We have no idea what was on his application ... basically whether or not he applied as a "Foreign Student," or what name he used. Top Secret.
(3) Been a great deal of fuss about "Foreign Student Loans, etc. etc. A distraction. Grandma Payne Dunham was a rather wealthy woman and would have had no trouble footing The One's tuition bills, paying for his and Stanley-Ann's frequent airline trips, rents, etc. etc.
(4) At Occidental, we have no idea of his course work or grades. We do know he was the protegé of a gay rights activist and avowed communist, Professor Laurence Goldyn, who apparently knew Bill Ayers quite well.
(6) He shows up at Columbia University in NYC, not in my opinion, as a transfer to the prestigious Columbia COLLEGE, but as a walk-in to the Columbia University School of General Studies ... Entrance Requirements: a pulse, and a check. Over the next two years he is out of town ... a lot ... like in Pakistan. (now pronounced pock-ee-STAHN) We have no idea what courses he took, only that Columbia COLLEGE gave him credit for God-knows-what and issued him a degree. Just the way the General Studies program worked. All the the COLLEGE did was give one the degree, but one was a General Studies student. This is the handiest explanation of why no one at the rather small and exclusive ivy league College knew him. Why would they? He wasn't one of them.
(7) Next academic stop, Harvard Law where he was admitted as an Affirmative Action discovery, at the recommendation of Percy Sutton to the Affirmative Action recruiter. No LSAT.
(8)Tried exactly 1 (one) case in Illinois before being nicely asked to resign from The Illinois Bar rather than face Bar sanctions. He resigns. The case is sealed. But, when his Bar app was still publicly available, one could see that he denied use of an alias (Barry Soetoro, etc.), traffic violations, and drug use. Perhaps he should have read his own "autobiography," before filling out the app!
Frankly, we have no idea who or what this guy is, or was. Perhaps after he's been out of office for a few decades, some academic researchers will shed more light on the mystery. Or Not. All a reasonable man can say right now is that obviously the man is not who. or what he said he was or is. That much we know. What we don't know is the truth.
Your post sums it up succinctly and concisely.
Where is the media?
Nicely done BUMP!
