Translation: Don’t ask to see Obama’s transcripts.

[LOC1]

It would be interesting to compare Perry’s transcript with Obama’s....oh, we cannot see his? Nevermind.

A college transcript is a McGuffin: the content is irrelevant, but its existence and acquisition is vital.

I daresay Obama’s transcripts would be very enlightening ... otherwise why would they be so well hidden???

Please chime in at The Batts site for the HUGE OMISSION of
comparing Obama transcripts to the other candidates.

I have no love for Rick Perry. I think he is a RINO in the same basic mold as George Bush and Mitt Romney.

That being said, the news is all clucking about his released transcripts and he hasn't even joined the race yet.

The same media elected ObaMao and still hasn't even dare ask to see his transcripts.

In my humble opinion, a college transcript is baseless information; there are too many variables to take into consideration as to whether this is a viable means to measure anything. Consider, there is no way to input whether the student was working full time, paying his way through college, or was on a full ride scholarship. Was the student married and raising a family while working? Did Mommy and Daddy buy the kid a home, cars and provide an ‘allowance’?

Then we have the gauntlet of grading policies in various universities; Consider Brown University in Texas - the AVERAGE GPA for engineers there is 3.5. Yeah, their AVERAGE is honor role at other universities. My university syllabus provided a mathematical formula ensuring that the AVERAGE grade was a C (2.0). For reasons unknown, this is not the norm - we are graduating students who AVERAGE B and A grades.

This places no consideration onto other real-life scenarios; for example Sports places pressure on teachers to pass students who have not earned a grade, as well as other political pressure. Try flunking a black student; let me know how it goes.

Grades are practically meaningless; because what is ‘C’ work under one professor, may be ‘A’ work under a different professor, for the same work, for the same class, at the same university.

And Obama received no grades, but was merely “passed”, due to his commitment to activism.
