Obama's Refusal to divulge Columbia Records

More lies, deceit and cover-up from the most secretive president in US history. Legitimate media actually believes Obama might sign a release ........ what are they smoking?

Obama’s Columbia Records

Editorial of The New York Sun | October 10, 2012

It looks like President Obama will go to the polls for the last time with the voters still in the dark in respect of his years at Columbia University. The question mark over that period of his life has always rankled us. The New York Times in 2007 assigned one of its finest reporters, in Janny Scott, to scour the university for clues in respect of the president. No doubt she came up against the same stone wall that our Ross Goldberg came up against — namely the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which Columbia has cited to excuse its refusal to divulge any of the information it holds on the president it supports for re-election.

The New York Sun

GIFT TO HISTORY: A draft waiver, authored by The New York Sun, under which President Obama could enable Columbia University to release whatever information it holds on him.

When we inquired, which was in 2008, Columbia couldn’t have been more tightlipped if it were holding details of war-time troop movements. Reported Mr. Goldberg: “A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades is sealed.” That is really about limit of what the voters will know from the Columbia administration about the future president’s years there, unless he signs some sort of waiver to authorize the rapid

Columbia couldn’t have been more tight lipped if they held the secret of the war time troop movement. You got to be kidding. That’s the first thing this group of commies would most likely release to our enemies. They won’t release anything on THE FOREIGNER because LIKE KIND STICK TOGETHER.

The snark is inappropriate.

As I understand it, this law requires Columbia to not release the records unless a waiver is signed. No exceptions in the law for politicians, or because the media wants the info.

Actually, the snark may be appropriate for Obama, but not for Columbia.

I know! He didn't fulfill his membership requirement in the Columbia Record Club!



I used to get pre-recorded open reels from them!

NO honors? He must have aced the LSATs to have gotten in to Harvard Law.(EXTREME sarcasm)

The media lets zero get away with holding back these records, but Romney’s tax returns are hammered until released.

Ahh, yes. Perusing that ad in detail in every Sunday paper thinking "there are at least 11 I'd like to have".

Never did though. Leave It to Beaver had issued a cautionary tale.

I remember buying a ton of CDs about 15 years, I probably still haven’t even unwrapped half of them.

I hope we have the will to prosecute. We need it and the next generations need to see and understand why their world is the way it is and maybe avoid the same mistakes, while they're paying off our debts.

Look around. Too many lines have been crossed, too much corruption has gone too far for a "time out" to make this go away and stay away. It has gotten away from us.

We've misplaced our sense of self preservation, that something is bigger than we are. We've got to stop encouraging ourselves to take this road. This isn't the first time, it's just in our time.

And now it's time for understanding and memorable consequences, not more getting away with it.

If we do go down the path to the dark side, with all of our technology, money and power, the things we'll do would make the nazis' time look like a girl scout jamboree.

We must stop.

To not receive honors, even ‘cum laude’, in 1983 was really a dismal record. Let alone that his schedule was undoubtedly packed with leftist, activist, gut classes.

No way this guy would have sniffed HLS without affirmative action and, apparently, even insider pull on top of that.

One wonders what Obama is hiding or afraid for us to find. I’m willing to bet it’s the names of the Professors and the courses studied because it will lead us to find out the names of other students that can be interviewed which might lead us to finding out details of who his gay boyfriends were and the radical curriculum studied in addition to other snafus. Probably also that he had poor grades and is not the genius he claims to be.

We know that he had poor grades there—not even the lowest level of honors.

But I think you’re right, it’s both the radical nature of his courses and probably fear of stirring up any more memories of his gay Muslim associations.

So that means if Øbama didn’t graduate with honors (summa, magna or cum laude) then he could have at best graduated with a 2.99 GPA. That won’t get into most elite grad schools let alone HLS. Yeah, he’s the smartest president we ever had! /s
