It is becoming more and more evident why Obama won't release his transcripts.
Yes, there is speculation: "The word is, according to what I’ve read," said {Donald} Trump, "that he was a terrible student when he went to Occidental. He then gets into Columbia; he then gets to Harvard. ... How do you get into Harvard if you’re not a good student? Now maybe that's right or maybe it’s wrong, but I don't know why he doesn’t release his records."
And, The Trenches website is skeptical that Obama is as smart as the MSM's swoonings make him out to be, to the extent that they have offered a $20,000 reward for Obamna's Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School transcripts.
But, I think we can get a pretty good idea of what those transcripts will show (and why Obama has not released them) by just examining some of his recent rants - he is ignorant. I'll use two examples:
1) Chairman O recently spouted "As a country that has 2 percent of the world's oil reserves, but uses 20 percent of the world's oil — I'm going to repeat that — we've got 2 percent of the world oil reserves; we use 20 percent. What that means is, as much as we're doing to increase oil production, we're not going to be able to just drill our way out of the problem of high gas prices. Anybody who tells you otherwise either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or they aren’t telling you the truth.” - repeated on many occassions, but most recently in a speech in North Carolina, March 7, 2012. Although his facts are correct, they have little to do with each other - comparing "proven" reserves to consumption (The Fact Checker originally classified this as "True But False", but later downgraded it to "Two Pinocchios").
Consumption is in terms of volume per unit of time (for instance, barrels per day), while reserves is in terms of volume (for instance, millions of barrels) - the two are totally unrelated. As explained on The Fact Checker, "If the world’s oil reserves were 1 barrel, and the U.S. had 100 percent, we would still not have enough reserves, even if we only consumed 1/10 of 1 percent of the world’s oil. 1 barrel isn’t going very far. On the other hand, if the world’s oil reserves were 500-gazillion-katrillion-jillion barrels, maybe it could satisfy all the world’s demand for centuries, whether the US consumed 20 percent or 70 percent — so what."
So, it is clear that Chairman O's critical thinking and simple math skills are less than advertised.
2) In recent campaign events in Colorado, California and Iowa, Chariman O argued that he inherited a $1 trillion debt and later pushed for $2 trillion in spending cuts, and that federal spending has slowed to rates not seen in decades before his term.
Some simple facts:
- The deficit has been over $1 trillion every year of Chairman O's annointed position - it was never over $500 billion during the previous 43 presidents.
- Even in inflation-adjusted dollars, every deficit under Obama has exceeded any deficit we ran during World War II.
- As a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product, the only times in more than 200 years of American history that the deficit has exceeded 6.0 percent of GDP have all involved either the Civil War, World War I, World War II, or Obama.
- The national debt was $10.6 trillion on the day of his annointing; it is now $15.7 trillion - the largest jump in the national debt EVER!
So, it is obvious that Obama's and the MSM's claims of his intellectual prowess are grossly exaggerated. It only takes a minimal amount of examination to expose this. Unfortunately, 43% of the population shares his brain cell.
I’m surprised he doesn’t just create transcripts using Adobe........and then have the university “confirm” the fogeries are match their records.
“Unfortunately, 43% of the population shares his brain cell.”
Ahh, so true. I once knew a guy that said to me “If ya ain’t cheatin’, ya ain’t tryin’”. This does seem to apply to our LIAR in chief, his tax dodging, criminal administration and the welfare, work the system twits who voted for him.
” I’m surprised he doesn’t just create transcripts using Adobe........and then have the university “confirm” the fogeries are match their records.”
So far, he hasn’t needed to. The MSM is covering up for him just dandy.

COMING SOON!
I have never been impressed with Obama’s critical thinking skills. He is a self-trained Bu(($hitter who has honed his skills at it. He is also has worked hard at knowing how to deflect and turn away people who question him when he tells a lie. I have observed that most people who are actually competent at something are not very good Bu(($hitters and most Bu(($hitters are pretty much useless at everything else.
He won’t release his transcripts because he lied and told the authorities he was a foreign student, getting perks and reduced tuition in the process, which under normal circumstances is called ‘fraud’. People have been known to go to prison for such things...........
His transcripts will only confirm how stupid he is. I want to see his applications. Obama is probably a criminal(fraud).
Everything you say is true. But there is also more and more evidence that Obama applied to all three universities as a foreigner.
This would not be easy for America to swallow. Their president checked the No box when asked if he was a citizen?
He might have lied to get in under foreign standards or he might truly have not been an American citizen. Either way, very few people would want someone who didn’t value American citizenship.
” He won’t release his transcripts because he lied and told the authorities he was a foreign student, getting perks and reduced tuition in the process, which under normal circumstances is called ‘fraud’. People have been known to go to prison for such things...........”
It will take a lot more than a 20 grand reward to expose his college records. More like 100,000 or more.
What is also interesting is zeros supposed multiple Soc numbers? Don’t hear much about that.
simple..he wasn’t the brightest bulb on the Marquee.
Yeah; he is proof positive that test-score-cheating and grading on the curve has been around quite a while...
??
BA

Exactly. And that is why they won’t go after his transcripts. Can you imagine? People wouldd be outraged that the media all covered these facts up in 2007! There was no Executive Order back then to stop anyone from searching out his transcripts.
