Note that she is guessing and has no actual transcripts nor has seen any.

That said, I suspect she is right. It would be great if someone pointed out that "Obama can't demonstrate he has ever even taken an economics course, let alone passed one.

"I've always wondered if the reason for such is that it would reveal his Birth Place status. Or some form of financial aid for being a foreign student. "

Yup, received an "AA boost, even though he was raised by white people who were not poor. He gamed the system.

The rules were changed for the Law Review when Obama was there (to help minority students, not him personally). (I’m surprised you didn’t know this.)

I didn't know this-- I graduated in the late 1970s-- but, as i said above, I'm not surprised to learn it.

No Question this is right on.

Zero even mentioned as a young boy he learned to dance like a Bojangles.

You know what the left will say about this, "He was too smart for colleges."

The Harvard Law Review, like all law schhols' law reviewes, is edited by students, but the articles are all written by law professors, not students.

harvardlawreview.org says the the Harvard Law Review was founded to publish the papers of students.

THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW - GLIMPSES OF ITS HISTORY AS SEEN BY AN AFICIONADO

From the beginning. the School had encouraged law clubs in which groups of students gathered together for informal discussion of legal problems and formal argument of questions of law. In the anniversary setting of 1886, a group of eight third year students formed a new law club, known as the Langdell Society, and out of this club the Harvard Law Review quickly developed. The idea of publishing a legal journal was not an original one. It was in the air, and no doubt would have taken shape sooner or later. But this was a remarkable group of students, and they felt moved to act because they would soon be leaving the Law School. They had seen a copy of the Columbia Jurist, which had been published for a few years at the Columbia Law School. The recently established Law Quarterly Review must also have been known in Cambridge at the time. In addition, students at the Albany Law School had published the Albany Law School Journal, which was established in 1875 but survived for only one year.

My guess is that its all been doctored by now to show he was a straight A student.

Seeing as Kagan was Dean of Harvard Law, that is not beyond the realm of possibility.

There is NOTHING in the article to support the hype. No grades. No transcripts.
Just a bunch of mindless speculation.

The blog posts referred to here aren't about a quick and dirty verification of Obama's grades.

Hillbuzz has been on the Obama's grades cover up for a couple of days now. He speculates that Obama actually got D's and F's. He knows he's speculating and he is looking for possible verification.

He tends to get on on a topic and chew on it for a day or so. Often times the comments reveal some good links providing background on the topic at hand. Brainstorming like this can be an effective problem solving process, IMHO.

In this case, Hillbuzz appears to be using Jennifer Rubin's article to support his current rant, i.e., Obama talks a good game but isn't any smarter than the people he's talking down to.

Rubin thinks that Obama's claim that he has 'science and facts' on his side makes him an intellectual snob. She doesn't refer to his grades anywhere in her article, nor does the article by the person she cites, Michael Gerson.

The grades speculation is the driving force behind the current request for information at Hillbuzz. Hillbuzz is just referencing articles about Obama's actions that highlight the disconnect between Obama's perceived image and his actual competence. This behavior leads Hillbuzz to speculate that Obama's actual grades are worse than the public is led to believe.


I take exception to all the 'blog pimping' asides. This thread exemplifies why.

Hillbuzz, with his tenacity, could very well dig up some verified grade information, at which point someone will happily refer to his findings.

It's like eating sausage without wanting to know about the process used to make it.

Grades are probably secondary in the Obo record hunt.

What is probably most important, is what kind of
financial aid he received and any classifications assigned
to him for that aid and admittance.

How did they get the transcripts or is this just conjecture?

but but but...we’re told he’s intensely intelligent.

But look at who it was that told us. I swear, the ivy league leftist elites are some of the most stupid people on the face of the Earth.
