How did Barack Obama get into Columbia? (Time to finally vet Barack Obama)

He most likely applied through admissions like everyone else does.

 

You will need to post proof that Obama asked his schools to do anything with his transcripts.

Because we all know that is just B.S.

Now about Bush's transcripts. I will point out once again- that Bush never released his Harvard transcripts- something you keep glossing over.

The common response to the points I’m raising here usually boils down to mentioning the fact that The New Yorker managed to get its hands on George W. Bush’s Yale transcripts during the 2000 campaign. They didn’t get them from the Bush campaign and, technically, whoever released them was violating Federal laws regarding the privacy of education records.

ABSTRACT: Talk story about the writer’s discovery of Republican Presidential front-runner George W. Bush’s confidential school records when he attended Yale... all the fuss in New Haven may be an overreaction, to judge from a copy of the academic file that not long ago found its way here.

Even the Free Republic- hardly an Obama supporter- acknowledges that Bush's transcripts were illegally obtained and released:

The basis for the media's unfair attacks on Bush's intelligence is his 30-year-old Yale College transcript (purloined last fall and published by The New Yorker).

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,127630,00.html
And here we have a conversation with Bush about the release of his transcripts:

The week before the South Carolina primary, I joined the candidate on a mid- day run. We talked about Yale then, too. He said the university president, Richard Levin, had called him when The New Yorker magazine got hold of his college transcript. Levin promised that no one from Yale's administration had released it. I could tell the exposing of his transcript bothered Bush. But I also could tell that he appreciated the way Levin was handling it.


So....now that we have established that Bush never voluntarily released his Yale records, and that Bush never released his Harvard records...

Well I expect you will continue to pretend otherwise.

The fact remains- no politician voluntarily releases his college records.
Bush didn't
McCain didn't
Obama hasn't
Romney hasn't

But all of you demand this only of Obama.

Why do you demand that Obama be vetted differently than every other Presidential candidate?

 

I have to love how you demand others provide proof positive that Bush's transcript wasn't leak- yet you just assume that Obama's grades are bad because he- like every other Presidential candidate- has never shown us his transcript.

Do you also assume that Romney's "barely squeezed by with the lowest grades possible. If he did that good he would proudly display his transcript."

Ah no of course not.

You hold Obama to a different standard than Republican candidates.

 

I have dealt with the original post several times. But lets review- because it is amusing.
Mitt Romney is accused of bullying a high school classmate and the media reports on this.
You use that to segue into demanding Obama's college records.

But you never demand Romney's records.

Obama- like Romney- and every other Presidential candidate- has declined to release his college records.
Obama and Romney are acting exactly the same in this regard.

But you only demand Obama release his records.

You demand that Obama be treated differently than Romney- and McCain before him.

So the entire premise of your OP is clearly biased and clearly just intended to smear Obama.

If you actually cared about college grades in order to 'vet' a candidate- you would have demanded the same thing from Romney as you demand from Obama.

But your only purpose it to smear Obama.

 

And knowing his grades would change your opinion about this how?

Seriously- if you found out he had straight "A's" in Columbia- would that change your opinion on how he handled the economy?

The voters will have an opportunity to decide whether they think Obama handled the economy or not.

This whole idiotic demand that Obama- not Romney- release his grades is just another smear tactic against Obama.

Anyone who needs to know Obama's- or Romney's grades in order to decide whether to vote for them is an idiot.

 

No...you are talking about demanding a different vetting of Obama than you expect of Romney.

This has nothing to do with 'vetting' Obama- this is entirely your frustration at not being able to find more dirt about Obama.

 

I didn't.

Just as I didn't fret about McCain not releasing his grades, I wasn't concerned about Obama not releasing his.

And I don't care that Romney hasn't released his.

So why do you have a different standard of vetting for Obama than Republican candidates?

 

George Soros said, "Hey Columbia, we got a guy here, 1/2 black 1/2 white (how cool is that?), and he's got the radical bug (that'd be GREAT for you guys with your "progressive" thinking thing going on here at Columbia, plus think what it'd do for your Diversity Program statistics. I need to get him in, and if you take him, I'll contribute 7 million to your Equality Foundation for Freedom and Other Phony Sentiments. What do you say? His grades aren't that good, but 7 million is 7 million, don'tcha think?

 

lmao that post is so funny its something liberals would post to mock conservatives and their conspiracy theories....

 

By god you are exactly right!

It is all part of the One World Konspiracy!

And thats what Soros did for Bush and Romney too!

Soros is secretly grooming every future Presidential candidate in the United States!

 

It's obvious. There are many more suspect things about Obama than Romney or McCain. If you don't see them, then your news sources are hiding it from you. (change sources, dynamo)

If you want to vet Romney go ahead. Who cares?
Who cares if you vet Obama either? Liberals do, I guess.

 

yes....liberal presidents are like the Dali Lama....we are already grooming the next great one.....shes a hispanic with a southern accent who also speaks chinese (both kinds)

 

So you agree you just want Obama treated differently.

 

*scratches head*

How exactly would half the people (50%, if my math is correct) be in the top 10%???

 

Half the people 'make' grades that qualify for an honor that is only given to 10% of graduates.

 

Still wouldn't put 50% into 10%...

Not possible...

Plus, if you haven't seen the grades, how would you be able to say so?

 

Just so we are clear... no Ivy League education. No election to Senate and no presidential election. Sound about right? That's what I thought.

 

To which you have still posted no proof of that ever happening.

 

I and others have already debunked every single idiotic birther claim you birthers keep bringing up. I would feel sorry for you, except you have been shown how and why your idiotic claims are wrong, and you persist anyway.

 

I once applied for a typist job at a state accredited college. I typed 85 wpm with 0 errors. I got 100%. Add the fact that I'm a vet and my adjusted score was 110%. Problem, Everyone who typed 45 wpm got 100%. So my additional 40 wpm was wasted. I ended up tied in 3rd place with 300 other people. First place was 130%. Other folks who got bonus points were black, widows of Vets, disabled vets, etc.

They probably did something like that where 50% of the school tied in the top 10% because of bonus points or whatever. You had to be a black widow of a vet to get the full 30% bonus.

 

I'm sure you have evidence that 50% of the school tied in the top 10%? You guys keep making this claim with nothing to back it up with.

 

"High time"...is that a pun? But really, he appears to be working his way to yet another "pass" in November. It's gotten to where every time I see an American, (which is almost always) I see them naked with big red clown noses and 18" floppy shoes.....the fact that they may possibly vote Obama in for a second term. that Americans approve of Obama by 50%...clowns. Americans are clowns...self destructive clowns. It's good that there are so many gay folk in this country.....we just have to die out..

 

Yer jist Soooo easy!!!!!!

In addition, the total number of degrees awarded Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude in Field will represent not more than 50 percent of all May degree candidates. Students not recommended for honors in a concentration may be recommended by the Faculty for the degree Cum Laude on the basis of an overall grade point average that meets the minimum GPA established for Magna Cum Laude honors.

The following grade point average thresholds were established by the Faculty for awarding degrees

Magna Cum Laude in Field -- 3.750

Cum Laude -- 3.750

 

Oh my goodness, I already addressed this to you, did you miss it(#199)?These are the requirements to graduate with honors for Harvard University with a bachelors degree. These are not the requirements for Harvard Law School.

And here is a great example of the opposition to Barack Obama.....he thinks all Americans are clowns.
