The liberal mainstream media, from the 2008 presidential campaign season to this day, refuse to look into and vet Obama’s background.
More than that, the media took their lesson from Satanist Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals , especially No. 5 (Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon), mocking Americans who question The Anointed One’s birth eligibility to be president by giving them the derisive label of “birthers.”
Now that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is polling at the top of likely 2016 GOP presidential candidates nationwide and even in California, lo and behold, the MSM are giving him the anal probe, with the Washington Post’s David A. Fahrenthold leading the way.
Below are excerpts from Fahrenthold’s article for the Washington Post, Feb. 11, 2015, “As Scott Walker mulls White House bid, questions linger over college exit."
Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.
In 1990, that news stunned his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.
To most of the Class of 1990 — and, later, to Wisconsin’s political establishment — Walker’s decision to quit college has been a lingering mystery. […]
Walker clearly liked college politics more than college itself. He had managed to line up 47 campaign endorsements, including ones from the ski team and the varsity chorus, but he had trouble showing up on time for French.
And, after four years, he had faltered on both fronts. He’d lost an ugly race for president. And he apparently had far too few credits to graduate.
[…] Walker’s own explanation has been short and simple. He got a job. He meant to go back. But he just never found the time.
Today, Walker, 47, is the governor of Wisconsin and a strong contender for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination. He is known for an astounding political hot streak: Since 1993, he has run 11 races for state legislature, county executive and governor — including a highly unusual recall election in 2012 — and he has won them all.
But before that streak came a string of defeats: the campus election, his failure to finish college and his first campaign for state office.
[…] Walker was not available to comment for this article, according to a spokeswoman for his new political committee, Our American Revival. He is visiting London this week, conducting a trade mission and bolstering his foreign policy credentials.
Blah, blah, blah.
I wonder what would happen if the 25 or so states that are now run by Republicans together seceded and formed a “more perfect union.”
The response from the Walker camp going forward should be along the lines of, “Yeah, Obama said he went to college; but we’ve never seen any real proof.”
This makes me like him more.

Instead, the Governor left the Halls of IV indoctrination, took a good job, raised a family, is self-educated like many of us, is capitalism-ized, work ethic-ized, patriotism-ized and achievement-ized....and successful.
(Oh, the horror of his career resume....that is, to the lefties, the liberal media and the Demonrats)

Correct.
Of course this is rank hypocracy. But it should also be expected. Better for everyone to have it happen now, and as visciously as possible to both get it out of the way and to test Walker’s ability to respond and acclimate him to having to do so.
I’m somewhat reminded of what happened to ex-VA Governor McDonnell during his campaign. The Dems had planned to drop an October Surprise, his supposedly anti-woman thesis, and spend the last few weeks of the campaign focusing almost exclusively on it.
Problem is that the thesis hit the press in early September (I think). The Dems had to jump on it early. This gave McDonnell time to recover, the issue had burned out within a few weeks and it became clear that the Dems had no backup plan for mounting a campaign that didn’t focus on that thesis.
Yes, I find all of this interesting. Any conservative candidate is crucified and the Barabbas of Democrats gets a free pass. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Anyone who knew Obama is not going to admit it so (s)he can keep on living.
Makes one think of Rush Limbaugh who dropped out of college after one semester.
They deliberately and intentionally gave 0 a free pass, with the result that we have a non-citizen who would fail the background check for school crossing guard.
I’ve always believed Obama should be water boarded to see if he knows anything at all.
Any moron who parades around making faces in front of a camera like this one did is hardly a president and should be treated as such. This entire evil regime should be rounded up and imprisoned for treason AND tyranny!
What this parasite did to the negro race is just too damned bad. He has faded whatever gains were made due to his criminal behavior after being elected by a gaggle of fools.
Much of the blame for the past six years and the next two belong to the damned hierarchy of the Republicrat Party which is as Conservative as the occupant of the White Hut.
Barry was the man who wasn’t there.
We American Conservatives need to be with him in every respect: donating money and talking up his candidacy. He is no member of the CFR and doesn't subscribe to the Bushes' NWO.
Just in case a member of the MSM stops by, here’s an area they can investigate! Might explain why 0 is against the Keystone and why he’s supporting Solyndra
Don’t I wish!
Yeah. But where are the bananas?
The parasite in the White Hut apparently thinks he’s the ‘top banana.’
Who among us here can forgive Chris Wallace for asking her if she's a flake?
Please provide Bowbama’s collegiate credentials....
