Percy Sutton, president of a Manhattan borough, stated on a cable television show that he was asked to write a letter of recommendation to Harvard for Obama at the request of Khalid al-Mansour on behalf of and at the request of Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Sutton’s family and the Obama Administration have denied Percy Sutton’s comments and subsequent reporting of those comments. Yet, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal did subsequently donate some $20 million to Harvard for Islamic studies in 2005. Sutton was an attorney for Malcolm X. Khalid al-Mansour is associated with many Black Panthers and similar organizations in addition to serving the interests of members of the Saudi royal family.

Professor John L. McKnight, Northwestern University, disciple of Saul Ainsky, associated with the Gamaliel Foundation, wrote letters of recommendation and assisted Obama’s efforts to attend Harvard.

Although it is true the universities Obama attended did release his grade point averages, we do have some very strong “idea” his grade point averages were lower than 99 percent of most affirmative action applicants to Harvard. Schools such as Columbia have revealed that Obama did not graduate with honors, and the grade point average for someone graduating without honors is definitely substantially lower than the typical A+ average some 7,000 applicants have to compete for only 500 student openings.

Sorry, the post needs correction of a critical typo:
