Where are Obama's grade transcripts?

[beachblanket]

An Ivy League education isn't worth a warm bucket of spit anymore. They're just lefty training camps. A good education asks students to look at multiple points of view and make intellectual judgments. The lefty indoctrination that passes for education today in the Ivy League is patently anti-intellectual. When your professors fear and refuse to discuss contrary arguments about the leading issues of the day, you're getting ripped off in your education.

On the undergraduate and law school level, perhaps. But as a graduate of the West Point of Capitalism (a.k.a. HBS), I can tell you reason the Charles River divides it from the rest of Harvard is more than just an accident of geography. It's intentional and reflects a huge difference in world view, philosophy and
values from the mess over on the other side in Cambridge.

IF Obama is such a "smart man" (much smarter than Palin) why doesn't he release his grade transcripts?

As George W. Bush would say, bring it on! I'd bet my left one that Obama's grades are pretty darn good. Let's create a spreadsheet comparing McCain's, Palin's, Obama's, and Biden's grades. And for laughs, let's add a column for Dubya's grades as well.

Rejected by Princeton, were you?

Even if he was a B+ student and was selected purely because of affirmative action, the fact that he graduated at the top of his class and was elected president of the Harvard Law Review provides proof that affirmative action works.

I believe that's called tokenism.

OP, You are on a mission this morning

In what respect Charlie?

The left wing response (ergo, silence) to your perfectly reasonable question is.....defeaning.

OK, our true colors are coming out, aren't they?

Well, okay then...but we can't do that because Obama refuses to release his grades.

You conveniently forgot the king of right wing "equivalents," who gets better ratings than any of the left wing spokespinners mentioned above:

Bill O'Reilly: B.A., Marist College, M.A. Boston University, M.P.A., Harvard University

There's no way you could call O'Reilly a right-winger. Blow hard, yes. Conservative, no.

I wouldn't go that far. I don't think there was any malice behind his comment.

I'd love to see those D's McCain received in school. He even admits he wasn't a good student. I'd also love to watch the hunt of all 4 colleges Palin went to before receiving that Journalism degree.

The Obama mysteries:

Birth certificate — is he a US citizen? He is? Prove it. That's not too much to ask, what with it being a requirement of his candidacy and all.

1981 trip to Pakistan — Why'd he go? Who'd he stay with? Why'd he leave it out of his autobiographies? Why does he refuse to discuss it? Did he go there on an Indonesian passport?

Columbia University — How come no one remembers him there? Did he, in fact, earn a degree or was one, ummm, "given" to him? Let's see the transcripts. He apparently had a series of Pakistani roommates there. Where are they? Why won't they be interviewed? Do they have "questionable" associations?

ACORN — Why is this voter fraud group with deep ties to Barack and Michelle Obama still registering hundreds of thousands of phony voters in battleground states all over the country? Are they hoping to steal this election, as Al Gore attempted to do in 2000? Why hasn't Barack Obama condemned this group's fraud and corruption? Is his campaign, in fact, working with this group?

His fancy house — Why did he let a convicted felon who was in the business of bribing politicians help him pay for it? Did Barack Obama offer this criminal political favors in exchange for his sweetheart home deal?

Financial markets collapse — Who got the second most campaign money from the democrat run and now collapsed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Sen. Barack Obama. Was he being paid by them to put the skids on tougher regulatory standards? Why hasn't he (or any other democrat) called for Congressional hearings into why these 2 financial institutions collapsed, while their presidents — both Obama campaign economic advisers — walked away with nearly $200 million in salary?

These mysteries will be addressed — and addressed in a big way — ohhhh, sometime right before the election. And it's going to be a real treat to watch. That new grey hair on Obama's head wasn't caused by what has already come in this campaign; it's growing greyer by the minute because he knows what is yet to come, and there won't be enough soaring rhetoric in the world to make it all go away. Everyone just sit back and enjoy the show.

Excellent post!!

The difference is McCain and Palin TOLD the American public about bad grades and transferring colleges. Obama is flat out hiding his grades from the American public.

Makes me curious how so many people can back a man that won't give any answers to all of the above questionable activity.

Palin didn't announce her many colleges it was reported. McCain mentioned his grades because (if memory serves me) classmates were saying that McCain was a jerk in school and played around. McCain was being honest and said he didn't take school as serious as he should. None of the candidates have reported their grades. Why not be fair, if Obama should release his, so should Palin and McCain, even Biden for that matter. At least be fair. Don't just demand the release of Obama's grades because he was smart enough to get in an Ivy League school.

....or proof that anyone can squeak by if the know the right person (and have the right checkbook).

You conveniently forgot the king of right wing "equivalents," who gets better ratings than any of the left wing spokespinners mentioned above:

Bill O'Reilly: B.A., Marist College, M.A. Boston University, M.P.A., Harvard University

And as much as the left seems to love the Ivy League, I love how they always diminish the B. A. from Yale University and M.B.A. from the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration held by President George W. Bush. Apparently, that sort of top shelf educational pedigree is only credible if it held by a liberal.

The exact same thing can be said for supporters of that hot head McCain and Beauty Queen Palin. So many questions with so little answers.

Am I missing something or is the only reason this is relevant to anyone here AT ALL is the fact that he hasn't released the grades? I seriously hope no one is planning on basing their vote on the grade a candidate got in Expository Writing during the fall semester of their sophomore year in college.

I keep seeing this: "well if he's got nothing to hide then why not just release them?" I guess there's "something" to that argument, but if he gives in and releases them you'll just find something else he hasn't talked about and say "if he doesn't have anything to hide then why not tell us about this?"

This is the same approach used by Joe McCarthy, if I recall correctly. If you've got nothing to hide you have no reason to be afraid? Ridiculous. Who cares what Obama got in his Contracts class when he was a 1L? I don't.

I also don't care what Palin got in her Advanced Basketweaving course at Flyover State University's Middle-of-Nowhere campus. None of that really matters unless it's important to you to be able to say "My candidate got an A in that course at Columbia and yours couldn't manage more than a C at the Naval Academy." If that's what makes it work for you, knock yourself out I guess, but I just don't understand it. People change a lot from who they are at 18 to who they are in the middle/older part of their lives.
