Somebody here said: “It’s like talking to a ‘WORD-SALAD,” LOL!!!
You're asking how a black man could afford tuition &etc to Columbia and Harvard? In the late 70's/early 80's? Does the term 'Affirmative Action' mean anything to you? Or how about 'minority quotas'? That ring any bells? That's why all this nonsense about how Obama must have gotten financial aid from a foreign country to afford school just cracks me up. My God, he would have had private colleges falling all over themselves to throw money at a qualified African/American student just to get him to come to their school.
Sure, there is Affirmative Action and minority scholarships and all the like. First of all, no one has made any specific claim about BHO being a scholarship student except at The Punaho School. More importantly, scholarship is a moot point in graduate professional schools. Right now, the annual cost of a Harvard Law student is well past $50K. The only “scholarship” program they have is a relatively new program that gives partial reduction for those in public service, and they’re getting rid of it as we speak.
Bottom line, there is no way that BHO, if unassisted, could have graduated from Harvard Law School without a mountain of debt. Since he never seemed to have enough income to come anywhere near to paying off this debt, it is safe to assume that someone (Khalid Masoud?) picked up the tab.
| > You're asking how a black man could > afford tuition &etc to Columbia and Harvard? Who the hell said anything about his being a poor “black man”? Why do you Libs only see people in terms of black and white?! If he received free tuition for his skin color, he would have held himself up as a success story of Affirmative Action. He has not. Likewise, if Obama was a Rhodes Scholar or something similar, like ‘ol Slick Willie, Obama's publicists would have screamed it from the highest hilltops when he ran for office back in Illinois. No — SOMEONE paid for Obama’s education, and it wasn't him. |
And no doubt you'll tell us who. </sarcasm>
So how did you verify that Obama had Indonesian citizenship and was/is a Muslim?
This Ecole didn’t let women in at that time, from what I’ve read.
You can’t find a link because it does not exist and never happened.
Welcome to the world of Internet Urban Legends.
Stephen Pidgeon mentioned it happening in letter to Glenn Beck, which is interesting, as no proof has been shown. Unless the lawyers are keeping some things close...
I don't know about Obama, however a friend's son's education is being paid for by scholarships, money from family, money he's earned from summer jobs, and student loans. My friend says her son has to keep his grades above a B in order to continuing qualifying for his scholarships. She also says the school doesn't keep track of where the money comes from, only that fees have been paid.
It’s believed to be Rashid al Khalidi via 2 Saudi princes.
Most probably same and other elements in the Middle East who illegally donated campaign funds for Zero filtered through a money laundering scheme and what he’s using paying top law firms dealing with the numerous eligibility lawsuits.
Has it even been verified Obambi attended Columbia the whole time on campus or was he abroad at some point doing correspondence courses?
In a world where you can find television clips from shows canceled in the 70’s, there's zero sane reason to argue that somehow this video exists, but is being hidden or suppressed.
A person would have to argue that:
-No one on the entire frickin’ Internet apparently saved a copy over those several years.
-Not one of BHO’s challengers in the primaries got it and leaked it out early in the game or at any time for that matter.
-Not one conservative pundit ever got a copy to show or leak.
-Keyes had this video and never put it forward at any point in time, let alone in the course of his efforts to pursue legal action.
It would have been a serious smoking gun. What rational reason would there be to not circulate it early and often if it existed?
At this point in the game, what could there possibly be to save it for?
The only reason to believe that it exists is to fulfill an emotional need.
Linus has the Great Pumpkin. Some birthers have this video.
Maybe I'll start calling it The Great Video.
I agree with you. I think that most of us who have investigated this video have been unable to sunstantiate the claims about it. It is important that we be quite certain that any allegation that is made be supported by solid evidence. Don’t want to give the enemy any way to attack us.
and
How could Obama afford tuition, books, room & board, etc at Ivy League Columbia and Harvard Universities?
Has it even been verified Obambi attended Columbia the whole time on campus or was he abroad at some point doing correspondence courses?
The bigger point is that, questions of standing aside, our legal system requires that to be successful one has to go to court with more than "it's believed", "how could", and "has it even been verified".
I'm not saying the questions aren't legitimate, just that court is not the appropriate place to go for answers. The Constitution has a process for investigating and removing a sitting president, something we should all have learned from the Clinton years.
I have answered your question, you just don't like the answer.
Here it is again; if you want to uphold the Constitution, then it is incumbent on you to use constitutional means to do it. It is not enough to BELIEVE Obama is not a legitimate president, it must be proved, and until it is proved, he IS the president. Congress, not the courts is the Constitutional venue for addressing and investigating questions of Obama's legitimacy.
From being an anti-birther, we now see that she is also an anti-Bush poster!!!
Noting that Bush's grades were not good enough to earn him a scholarship is being anti-Bush? What kind of logic is that?
Birther logic, I guess.
The bells are ringing OK. Here’s something to cracks you up!!!

I guess in your mind, that’s clever.
Crack us up is right.
As a "mother" you should be able to recognize what's in the pan alias you an "AFTER-BIRTHER" that is a dead organ called Placenta!!
So regardless of your death you are continuing to speak from the pan, (post # 237) it's like listening to someone from a "Word-Salad" which is totally meaningless!!!
