Thank you, JH! I don’t know what the truth is, but given recently disclosed facts, I suspect Obama was gaming the system.
I read somewhere today that the year he was to apply for college, 1978, is the same year that the Bakke case was affirmed.
I think he beefed up his application by claiming to be Kenyan, and it worked so well that he didn’t bother to change his bio until he needed to be an actual natural born citizen while running for the presidency.
Even Rush said that he made himself look more exotic, like the High Princess of the Cherokee Cheekbones.
I believe that is very plausible. And sounds exactly like something he would do through that time period as being able to game the system to stick it to the “man.”
