Rush: Did Obama apply to Columbia as a foreign exchange student?
The Right Scoop ^ | 8/7/2012 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 08/07/2012 2:29:14 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Rush read today from an article posted at The Blaze by someone who went to Columbia the same time Obama did and studied the same Pre-Law and Political Science majors that Obama did, yet he doesn’t remember Obama. And he has an shocking explanation why Obama won’t release his college records:

What else could be the point of locking down college records?

I have a question, how could someone completely close all access to what is at some degree public records? Is this something only a POTUS could do? You would think that someone at Occidential, Columbia or Harvard would leak something by now. Maybe its waiting to be our October Surprise.

One thing a full GOP majority should do posthaste once elected, is pass a law making such records lock-down by any elected or government official open. Of course there are many many similar bits of legislation needed to prevent another “nobama” situation, but Sunlight is always a good deterrent for the likes of nobama and such could head off a lot.

Rush is rather late latching on to this one.

And not 2% of libs would care one bit if he did apply as a foreign student or if it were proven beyond a shadow of doubt that he was not Constitutionally qualified.

Barry was a hustler, gaming the system & anyone he could to get ahead with the least amount of effort and money.

US Citizen, Foreign Student, whatever worked best.

Trump also has the money and connections to pay off some janitor or other employee of Columbia to get the paperwork they need.

I also found this in the 'comments' section from Taitz' website:

"Root: Class of ’83 political science, pre-law Columbia University. You don’t get more exact than that. Never met him in my life, don’t know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, 20th reunion, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! Who was he, and five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.

There has been a slow but steady increase in privacy laws (Both state and federal)that restrict all access unless there is specific permission by the adult owner. Anyone noticed how grades are no longer sent home from college? Try getting your child's college transcripts without their permission. (With my kid I set a rule early on no access to college records no funding! Mine kid has no issue with the rule, seemed perfectly reasonable to her!) Zero for the most part is hiding been those privacy rules. Now you say well Bush's grades etc were released, yes they were but it was done illegally and there was no effort to prosecute. Guess probably which political party controlled the local government in those cases?

And multiple Social Security numbers.. Some people say ‘who cares’ but the whereabouts of our President during 1981 is vitally important if he’s lying about it and spent a year or more in Pakistan instead of ‘just the summer’.

Didn’t 0bama issue an Executive Order requiring that certain records of his be sealed?? I can’t recall the specifics.

Team Romney should dig, dig, dig, and get their hands on this material (and more) as quickly as possible. Then, set up a presser where “Governor Romney will publicly release documents that people have been asking for” — and then deliver the Obama info to the media (who will think that he was talking about tax returns). What a $hitstorm that would be! and a lot of fun to watch.

I like the way you think!

Something does seem to be up today with the embargo on the subject of Obama's eligibility suddenly not in force with the conservative media. It'll be interesting to see if Mark Levin covers it.

Maybe the press should search out some affirmative action students who were enrolled in the remedial classes and ask them if they remember Barry.

Rush is late to the party. Where were his balls in 2008?

Yep - the nightmare scenario in my mind is that BO/BS folds and admits his duplicity and Hillary! is coronated - just making the cutoff date for declaring her candidacy.

No wonder he's so skinny and anemic looking.

I thought that was the drugs

Interesting reading, but better late than never, I suppose.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Have you seen a current photograph of Herself.

To be generous, she has let Herself go. She's not running for anything.

I have a question, how could someone completely close all access to what is at some degree public records? Is this something only a POTUS could do?

So you're okay with somebody getting access to your own school records without your permission?

You would think that someone at Occidential, Columbia or Harvard would leak something by now. Maybe its waiting to be our October Surprise.

Bush's records were leaked to the New Yorker by someone at Yale. Gore's transcripts were leaked to David Maraniss of The Washington Post. Kerry's grades were in his Navy records, which he released to counter rumors about his war record.

One of Romney's report cards from school was likewise leaked by somebody to the press. McCain's actual grades were not made public, but class standing at Annapolis is public knowledge.

A lot of what happens is people do guess work. If Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar who got into Yale Law without affirmative action, or his wife was valedictorian or Romney was a JD/MBA at Harvard, people assume they got good grades.

Yes, I think Obama should release his academic records (and his health records), but his grades (or yours) aren't "public records," and it looks like nobody at Occidental, or Columbia, or Harvard is going to leak them.

By this point they're probably locked away from prying eyes. I doubt that Maraniss really wanted to see them either. He would have been afraid of what he might find.

I’ve been posting about this for months to various blogs without any traction.

Rush should keep this one on the front burner.

Hee Haw, this tickles me. After all this obfuscation by conservative radio, some, who have never had the guts to touch Obama with a ten foot pole with regard to his phony life story are finally waking up. I heard Rush live and he really had little by way of comment on the issue. He more or less reported it as a news item, which is encouraging but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Rush more or less tippy toed around the issue, like he was walking on hot coals.
