"Investigative Producer." Nah. More like "Senior Muck-raking Democrat Operative Pretending To Be Objective Producer Of Real News". That's more like it. Really Jim Popkin, just be honest for once.
“Tingle up my leg...” (Chris Matthews)
Tinkle down my leg (Chirs Matthews after seeing Palin’s speech)
Legs are friggin numb (after seeing latest Zogby comments)
If I were a man, I would have the BIGGEST crush on this woman right now! She is the embodiment of everything this wonderful country was founded on, and I can’t wait to vote for her! I wish I could vote several times for her, but since I am a Republican, I can only vote once...
The closest thing to a swipe at her was “wrote more thank-you notes than Miss Manners” or I've lost the ability to detect sarcasm.
What I read was that he is not listed in the Columbia graduation lists for his graduation year among those that received honors, so I am assuming it could have been at most a C+. The problem is neither he won’t let Columbia will release his transcripts.
The NY Sun article: http://www.nysun.com/new-york/obamas-years-at-columbia-are-a-mystery/85015/
notes that he did not graduate “with honors” from Columbia.
The lowest, with honors award is usually referred to as “Cum Laude”, which, depending on the school could imply a Low B or a High C; which means depending on whether, at that school, a B- was as low as GPA 2.5 or a C+ was as high as GPA 2.5.
Even though I would imagine Columbia, an “Ivy League” school would, one would think, have “high” standards”, I am actually giving Obama the benefit of the doubt, when saying he had no more than a C+ because he did not even make the lowest “with honors” standard - “cum laude”.
Which, opens up another question.
He gets into prestigious Harvard Law School (who paid??), with a poor academic record, is selected, literally out of no where, to be the Senior Editor of the Harvard Law Review, has no published law papers to his name, from his years at Harvard or anywhere else and graduates with honors from Harvard.
Somehow the mystery man and his mysteries are irrelevant to the dead and dying media.
If do hope all of this article is true....though one can never trust the MSM.
On one side we have Sarah Palin who was appalled that they wanted to take “Under God” out of the pledge.
On the other side we have a 20 year parishioner of a man who said “not God Bless America. God D@mn America.”
The contrast could not be more clear.
It's a total crack up that this reporter calls himeself a "deep investigative reporter".
With each day I realize more and more how very lucky we are to have this woman representing America.
Sad, and more than a little scary, since the world views US through their eyes.

Sarah reminds me of my late wife ... I was extremely lucky, and we had 42 wonderful years toether.
We should use this as an opportunity by leaving comments, respectfully, for Mr. Popkin. Had he left out or substituted a few words, i.e. terse, missives, couldn’t resist, pet, earmarks, extreme, obsessed, (you might find more) you’d think he really found that she is capable, committed and consiencious...;)
Okay, precedent has been set! Now they must search for and find Obama’s notes and private letters to:
Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq Al-Mansour
Wahid Hamid
Muhammed Hasan Chandio
Muhammadmian Soomro
Oprah
Rev. Wright
Tony Rezko
Vinai Thummalapally
William Ayers

Thank you very much...really appreciated.
Thomas Sowell wrote a book ...don’t remember title....but he mentioned that 90% of Ivy Leaguers graduate 3.0...circa 1993 IIRC.
In my day, university 1970 graduation, cum laude was 3.0...rare and quite an accomplishment!
Grad school cum laude was 3.o
Me....2.67 undergrad....3.87 grad (MBA) ...grew up....light went on...etc...
Amen, Miss Sarah! Come down on the SOBs like stink on bleep and then commence to hurt ‘em real bad! You rock!
