Obama’s Harvard Years: Questions Swirl

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 6:11 PM

By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size

How exactly did Barack Obama pay for his Harvard Law School education?

The way the Obama campaign has answered the question was simply hard work and student loans.

But new questions have been raised about Obama’s student loans and Obama’s ties to a radical Muslim activist who reportedly was raising money for Obama’s Harvard studies during the years 1988 to 1991.

Hussein probably didn't pay for anything. Harvard is one of those Commie Schools that like to take in the black boys and girls with a free ride so no one will say that Harvard is prejudiced.

Is there a reason why a 527 isn’t running ads about this?

Too complicated and too many links in the chain. This will go about as far as the “birth certificate” scandal.

All this was probably put out there to get conservatives to get their hopes up and waste their time.

Same as the birth certificate thing. However, this leads me to think that there really is something out there he does not want anyone to find.

The would be a trail or history if he had student loans. Documents and Microfiche film.

I can’t figure out when Obama first met Ayers-some speculate it was back at Columbia in the early 80s. I think if he didn’t meet Ayers at Columbia then he certainly hooked up with him in Chicago around 1987. Ayers was running a group called the ABCs and Obama’s group was part of this. Obama then ended up with a summer job in 1989 at Sidley Austin, where Ayers sicko wife worked. There is some speculation that through Ayers ties to the Black Panther party and Khalid Al Mansour, that Al Mansour was brought on board to provide funding for Obama’s law school education. Certainly by 1989, Ayers and Obama were in lockstep with their relationship, which really revolved around education reform (sic).

"The Obamas complain about their college debt, but they did attend expensive schools. Obama took out $42,753 in loans to pay for Harvard tuition. Michelle signed notes for $40,762 in loans for her Harvard years." - link

there are more questions to be addressed concerning his finances. Has anyone come up with the details on just how Obama made his $$ millions? I can't see ACORN paying him that kind of money even though they operate with federal grants.

Resume of: B HUSSEIN OBAMA

1.) COLB
Proven fake by more than one source
2.) Sketchy childhood
We know some details - Lots of gaps - muslim?
3.) College thesis has vanished
Was it anything like Michele’s?
4.) Overseas travel
Pakistan? Why? On what passport?
5.) Law records
What cases did he represent?
6.) Senate records disappeared
What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ft Flager, Ayers, Rezko, Davis, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
9.) SCOTUS
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
12.) Racist, Sexist, Radical, Marxist views
____________________________________________________________
His radical marxist views can be traced by to childhood. This guy is dangerous. Dangerous to our freedoms. Dangerous to America. Dangerous to the world.

Wow this would be blockbusting news.

They don’t pay for the education of non-Muslims.

I’m not sure how it worked then, but I’m pretty sure that now the only scholarships HLS gives are need-based (regardless of race) and still require significant loans.

But $42,753 for Obama’s Harvard Fund and $40,762 for Michelle’s Harvard accont would have PAID for less than I semester. Where did the rest come from. A good bet is they were funded by some of Bill Ayer’s Foundations and dont leave out Trinity Church’s scholarship programs. The Obama’s didn’t pay and lived very comfortably during this time. Obma doesn;t have a smokey campfire here, Obama has a major WEatherman Arson raging here.

Obama’s past has so many subtle threads running out into a multitude of shady areas, it would take an army of investigators a 1000 years to figure out his true life story.

His refusal to release historical records adds to the nebulous mess.

I don’t believe will ever have a true biography of the man. May David McCullough should give it a run.
