College transcripts replace birth certificate for Obama detractors
Los Angeles Times ^ | 5/28/2012 | Robin Abcarian

Posted on 05/28/2012 4:17:44 PM PDT by Menehune56

Now that the issue of the president’s birth certificate has been laid to rest (mostly), some conservatives are turning their attention to a new obsession: Barack Obama's college transcripts. Last week, a website that already had offered a $10,000 reward for Obama's transcripts from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School, increased the bounty to $20,000.

BTW, Obama was also magna cum laude at Harvard Law or so it is said.

Harvard will be very embarrassed if he was simply a mediocre student (which he surely was).

The once great Ivy League is in a death rattle! Thx Barky!

I agree. This guy was ‘created’. Maybe his mother was a jackal.

Don’t forget the SSers - the controversy surrounding the misuse of a Connecticut social security number.

No. The HDOH put out a “verification” that had a secretary initial the certifying signature of Alvin Onaka - IOW not legally certified. And the press (as well as the AZ SOS who was desperate to not be called a “birther”) swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

If it had been legally certified the HDOH
verification” would actually only verify that

1. there is a BC for Barack Hussein Obama II which “indicates” (not verifies) that Obama was born in Honolulu, HI. (the legal validity of that birth certificate is not stated)

2. Some specific items from Obama’s online long-form image are in the original record at the HDOH.

3. The information that’s actually on Obama’s online image matches the information on their record (but AZ SOS Bennett had asked them to verify that the online image is a “true and accurate representation of the original record on file”, and the HDOH refused to verify that).

The shenanigans the HDOH pulled to try to get out of verifying the true facts of Obama’s birthdate, mother’s name, and father’s name (3 of the 4 items critical to Presidential eligibility) are very, very revealing. Their response is tailor-made to cover up a late, amended birth certificate.

Mike Zullo of Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse has said that what Hawaii did in this verification has actually opened up some new and interesting avenues for investigation. I would agree...

Let's go through the list:
Truthers
Birthers
Natural Born Citizeners
Transcriptors
Passporters
Selective Servicers
Wild-Limo-Ride-in-Gurnee-ers
Voting Presenters
Blow-a-hole-in-the-Treasury-ers

...and still no serious vetting of this empty suit.

Skimming some sites I see what the libs are turning to: asking what worth GPA's and transcripts many years old are worth, while still calling W "too stupid to be President". I'm sure this is to prepare the way for when Zero's grades finally, if ever, get released and show only average grades.

Also, there is a question of whether he was in the Harvard Law Review or the Black Law Review, the latter being of much less importance, but also very damaging to Zero if his claim to the Harvard Law Review turns out to be false.

In 1999, the New Yorker published an apparently purloined copy of George W. Bush's Yale transcript before he became the Republican nominee for president.

AMAZING isn't it? Though this article goes to great length (as it shills for its Dear Leader) in explaining how transcripts are sacrosanct unless the graduate authorizes its release (all the while NEVER even broaching the possibility that O'Bummer do so) even while repeating his "claim" to have had a GPA of 3.7?...yet no one has been able to get anyone from Occidental, Columbia or Harvard to "purloin" O'Bummer's?

I can imagine that the reason being they have ALL been removed from the Registrars Office and are no longer (along with his SAT's, SLAT's, applications, etc.) on those campuses, or if they are, they are securely ensconced in the President's/Dean's safe with "orders" that NO ONE is to have access, no matter who or what.

A "gifted" and highly "intelligent" student?

Right!

As one of the MOST stumbling, bumbling, ignorant slugs ever to occupy the Oval Office in my 68 years, no one will EVER get me to believe that fair tale....and mine, were a genuine 3.6.

“Now that the issue of the president’s birth certificate has been laid to rest...”

“So a verified US birth certificate has surfaced?”

No verifiable certificate has been produced, that was
not the claim. The claim was the issue has been laid to
rest. A little semantical twist....claim the issue has been
put to rest and people will make the assumption that the certificate was produced. And most people are stupid enough to do just that.

Just because I’m a “Birther” doesn’t mean I’m automatically a “Transcripter”. But it turns out that I actually have been for quite some time.

with the present arguement over Romney’s business experience being an asset to the presidency, I would like someone, even an expert in the field, to write a resume’ dated 2008 for Obama showing his qualifications to be president. 2 years at Occidental (no records) 2 years at Culumbia (no records) Harvard law school....no legal writings whatsoever, a few years in the Inninois senate voting present, and a partial term junior U.S. senator from politically corrupt Illinois.....I wouldn’t hire him as a low level manager in my small company.

I can’t make an informed decision about whether the president’s birth certificate is legit or not. However, I find it very strange that the president sealed such things as his college and medical records and was reluctant to release his birth certificate. While there is no obligation to release such things, the fact that he’d seal them or delay their release is unusual. It makes a reasonable person think something is being hidden, especially when other candidates have been far more open. Plus, this isn’t about hiring a store clerk or fry cook. It’s about hiring a president, and what that president thought, wrote, and studied is relevant to the job. It’s almost like he showed up out of nowhere, a man with no past, and we’re just supposed to take him at his word.

Yep. Robin Abcarian is so clever. She ‘coined’ a new catch phrase, “transcripters”. How Saul Alinsky of her.

I got one for the MSM. How about “Leg tinglers”? Fits the bill just about right.

Dog, you found it, now that appears to be an original BC, much closer than anything presented so far, absolutely believable.

Many years ago, I had to provide my college transcripts to apply for a job that paid $9.00/hr. I've routinely had to provide transcripts over the years for one reason or another.

Politicians should be able to pass the same security clearance procedures that we do in the military.

If a Congressman can't get a SECRET security clearance, then why should that person be able to attend Classified briefings as a member of Congress?

It makes NO sense.
