Did Obama really graduate magna cum laude from Harvard?

Posted on 12/15/2010 9:56:11 AM PST by big black dog

I see this claim made in numerous articles and blogs, yet I have never seen any concrete proof of this whatsoever or anybody vouching for knowing this first hand who would be in a position to know.

It would seem if proof was available, it could easily be offered. Yet when I ask the leftards to simply show me the proof, all I ever get is "nobody would be saying it if it weren't true." (??????)

Does anybody know of any proof of this?

How many of us that went to college have pictures (whether we want to show them or not) are there any pictures on other peoples cameras that he is in while in college? How many of us have seen “tagged” picts on face book of us from other peoples cameras. If there aren’t any then something is amiss.

That’s what I’ve wondered also. Somewhere out there somebody’s mama has a commencement program with all those names printed in it. Beside the name: “cum laude”, “summa cum laude”, or “magna cum laude”.

Especially at a snooty, ivy-league school.

From what I understand everyone in his life has been contacted and asked not to speak. I imagine that the law Review journal have the names of the Chief editor and others.

If 0bama had graduated with honors, they surely would have mentioned it here.

My opinion of Harvard is that it takes all kinds. If everyone was like people at Harvard the world would be a much worse mess. As it is, only Cambridge and Brookline are.

Harvard is a private school. They can admit anyone they want for any reason. If you have connections you can get in.

I know of Full Professors at at least one private elite university that do not have any more formal credentials than a high school degree. In most of these cases the people were exceptional talents whose abilities far exceeded their formal credentials but who simply did not wish to let school interfere with their education, but some did get their positions via politics.

FWIW, I don’t think Angela Davis or William Ayers have the kind of academic or scholarship back round to qualify on merit for their academic positions.

In dozens of interviews, his [Obama's] friends said they could not remember his specific views from that era, beyond a general emphasis on diversity and social and economic justice.

Given the lack of anything published with his name in it anywhere from harvard LR or the school itself, it is certainly plausible that he could have been added to the rolled after the fact.

If I told you that a secret organization of communists had hand-picked a black muslim to eventually become President to do their bidding, you would say NO WAY.

Yet if I told you that he has never proven citizenship, never revealed he place of birth or birth certificate, that there are NO records whatsoever anywhere proving he ever attended any American school or university, that there are NO grades of any academic endeavor, that he claims to have written two books although NO one can ever recall him having written ANYTHING, that he was selected by the Chicago political machine to develop his 'bio', that his wife was given a 350K no-show job, that he got his house in Chicago on a sweetheart deal from a convicted crook, that he only served in junior capacities in state and federal government, only served 147 days in the U.S. Senate, and was funded in his presidential race by a billionaire communist intent on destroying America, and that every thing he uttered was lie,.... would you think differently? A Manchurian Candidate.

With his history of being totally ethical, upfront, open, honest and transparent with everyone about everything, why wouldn’t we just take his word for it?

Magna cum laude for 0bama?

Skinnibus teethibus is more like it.

Exactly - I think the more important issue is if he graduated from Harvard at all - or even attended.

Yep. And I'd add that IF they did such a thing, they'd have provided him with all the background that's missing.

It was my understanding that he was ‘given’ that opportunity due to his deep deep skin color - oh, and his brilliant mind! sarc/

The proof should be easily determined. Someone in our Freeper Family must have attended Harvard at the same time as Hussein Obama allegedly attended. We put out the call for that person to scan Hussein’s photo in the Harvard Yearbook and post it on line.

LOL! Now this is priceless. If it was true, then it would have came out during his campaign. Why would all of a sudden this come out now. It’s to set up Obama for 2012. Promise you he did not get that in Harvard. I can’t prove that, but the timing is the big clue that it’s a lie. Imagine that?
