Obama: Students should work hard, focus on school (BARF alert!)

EXCERPT

In the speech, he recalls a conversation with his mother about his slipping grades, how he hadn't started filling out college applications and how he was being "casual" about his future. He started to tell her he didn't need to hear that, but Obama says she cut him off, gave him a hard stare and asked if he remembered what it was like to put in a little effort. Obama says hearing that from his mother jolted him.

"But eventually, her words had their intended effect," he says. "I got serious about my studies. I made an effort. And I began to see my grades — and my prospects — improve. And I know that if hard work could make the difference for me, it can make the difference for you too."

His pathological lying is reaching new heights. Now that he’s opened the door to his grades, in a sane world we would get a look at the transcripts. Hopefully someday they’ll be leaked—that is our only hope.

nobama has released none of his history. Grades? I bet nobama can’t read. Just look at how halting he is with the presidential teleprompter. Without the teleprompter he sounds like an addled crack head. nobama = EPIC Fail. Also, stay away from the children. This is child abuse. Someone report him.

Was he even living with his mother at that time.
I thought his Grandmother got him at age ten.

Hey Barry, let's see your college transcripts.

I’m hoping if Nov is as bloody [figuratively speaking] as we hope, some Obamaphiles will turn on him and start leaking. People like winners. If he leads his party to a sufficiently disastrous Waterloo, there may be some bitter Dems who get tired of clinging to the secrecy surrounding Obama’s records/transcripts, etc., and some of the more damaging stuff may start mysteriously appearing on the net.

Why should students work hard and focus on school? Is it so they can have the high incomes that result from their hard work stolen by the government and handed over to those who didn’t work hard, beat them up, cut class, used and sold drugs and dirsupted school?

All this would have some validity if we had his grade point average. Knowing his penchant for bragging, it seems strange that this most-brilliant-president-ever has embargoed his school records.

Wait a minute he was living with his upper middle class white grandparents of privilege, going to the best private schools, at that time. Another flipping lie.
