Since We're All Interested In Full Disclosure (Obama's College Records)


given black applicants were given a .5 point bump on their GPA and (back when I was a law school applicant) 130 points on the 800LSAT it was much easier for blacks to get into law schools like Harvard than it was for Whites
 

Romney will get massive whining no matter what he did because there are lots of parasites who think its wrong that he doesn't pay 50% of his income in taxes. So even if he followed the law (which is the presumption) the fleas and ticks will whine

There is no doubt in my mind Obama did not have the numbers that would allow a white male to be accepted into harvard law. as someone who was accepted into HLS and several others in the same league, I know that black classmates of mine with far far lower grades and LSATs were routinely getting into harvard ahead of white or Asian students with far superior grades. Obama did not even make Cum Laude or distinction at columbia meaning his GPA was below a B+ average
 
thats why the question arises, thanks for clarifying. Why would he pay lawyers when all he had to do was nothing? make you wonder? No, not you, anyone who is not an obamabot.

Umm, because Bush's sealed records got released and he didn't have lawyers.
 

How do you know his records are sealed?

Do you have any proof?
 
What if Obama had not failed economics, what would it matter? Its not like passing economics in college makes you qualified to make economic decisions like the President has to.

Right. And who was teaching the class, and where. Milton Friedman, University of Chicago? I prefer the candidate had failed that one.
 
Where are Romney's college transcripts? What is he trying to hide? I heard it on good authority that he took four semesters of home economics.

where are Obama's tax returns for the last 10 years? what is he trying to hide?

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama reported a 2010 adjusted gross income of $1,728,096, according to federal income and gift tax returns ...

he made nearly 2 million dollars and he tries to claim that Romney is an evil rich dude. that's like Jerry Sandusky calling Michael Jackson a child molester
 

Or could it have been that Obama enrolled and was accepted as a foreign exchange student? That would also explain how his education was funded. That's not an original thought. I read it someone. It is something to consider.

I've never, ever, ever been comfortable with the fact that we were never shown Bush's grades or military records. I don't think he would have been electable if American had known.

Romney should put ALL his financial cards on the table as Obama should put all his education cards on the table. America is at least smart enough to sort all that out. Well, maybe America isn't quite that smart, but we have to start somewhere. Let's start now.

same deal for medical school.
 

OMG the Blaze?

Barack Obama was a transfer student from California’s Occidental College when he came to Columbia University in 1981 as a 20-year-old junior. More than 20,000 students currently attend Columbia. The enrollment in the early ’80s might have been lower, but not everybody would have met or remembered Obama. And it’s absolutely untrue that "not one person has ever come forward" from his years there, or that he is "the man who wasn’t there."

Given that many white kids grow up with educated, connected parents who put them into expensive "feeder" prep schools and colleges, it was much easier for whites to get into law schools like Harvard than it was for blacks.
 

Just goes to show alittle research goes a long way. Sometimes you just gotta take those partisan blinders off long enough to discover the truth....or atleast weed through the falsehoods and deceptions.

Obama has released 11 years of tax returns. He has nothing to hide.

He never claimed that Romney is an evil rich dude. Or do you think you can support that assertion? :lol:

With these facile superficial accusations IMHO they are doing more harm than good with people that are educated.

so you lower the standard to let in lesser qualified applicants? if your life was on the line, would you want someone defending you who only got into law school because they were given preferential admittance?

he's claimed that because Romney is rich he is out of touch. Obama is just as rich and just as out of touch. but that was a nice attempt to dodge the point

Hint: educated is what you are supposed to be after attending school, not before.

Depends how you define qualified, doesn't it? Who's more qualified:

A. rich white kid who never worked a day in his life and had personal tutors to help with his grades and test scores, and still coasted through a prep school with low Bs; or

B. black kid who worked all his life, helped support his family and raise his brothers and sisters, resisted a pervasive criminal element, went to crappy public schools, but still managed to graduate at the top of his class?

I'll go with B.

Well, no. Unless 5 % is the same as "just as rich". Also note that Obama was not always rich.

I know, damn it, why do people have to actually use facts, it really ruins a perfectly good lie...

Obama has a few hundred mill in the bank?

Obama is rich enough and has been rich enough long enough that he has no clue about what the average person goes through, but keep picking those nits.

does it really matter? one million or one billion, he is still rich enough to be out of touch with the guy who has 20K
 
does it really matter if a guy kills 10 poeple or 100 people...he is still a mass murderer.
