I’m sure others have commented on this before me but a quick scan of the wiki on Obama’s private school, Punalou, reads like a Who’s Who of the world’s most influential elites of the past 100 years. I have a theory that it was his Punalou recommender’s connections at Colombia University who arranged the international student angle to get him admitted without proper regard to his Occidental transcripts. In my estimation, Punalou school connections are the key to Obama’s rise to the Presidency itself. You heard it here.
In fact, Obama’s personal history seems to be that of a spoiled rich kid - the best schools, wacky liberal parents, whirlwind junkets around the world, lackluster application of talent, smoking the best Hawaiian bud when that was the gold stanadard of marijuana. I’m consistently amazed that many people seem to think that Obama’s slightly enhanced skin color means he was born and raised in the hood alongside Samuel Jackson and Lawrence Fishburne.
I agree with your assessment about connections. Link that to white liberal guilt and Obama gaming the system and there are good reasons to keep those transcripts hidden.
