Okay, sorry for the sidebar:

Obama was born in 1961.

He’s 10 years old and in the 3rd grade here:

That puts him TWO YEARS behind schedule. Not surprising with his mother carting him off to 3rd world countries but hardly fitting the ‘brilliant anointed one” image:

So when did he finish high school?

1979 but no record support this?

But the school says 1979:

How did he go from 3rd grade at age 10 (2 years behind) to graduating on time?

Guess he was learning fast...

Also, if he’s 10 in 1969, that means he was born in 1959. Got a problem for eligibility as that’d place him pre-statehood.

If he was in 3rd grade at age 10 - how did he jump into 5th grade at the same age?

“Years Attended Punahou

1971 (5th grade) to 1979 (12th grade)”

How can ONE life has so many discrepancies?

Because, genius, he was eight at the time, not ten. The "Ten-year-old" headline is just something made up by a blogger. You look worse each time you repeat it.
