Thanks for the ping, n&v.
From grania:
‘I think Cory has it right. Forget about the forged birth certificate. Did Obama apply to college as a foreigner (perhaps Indonesian) for maximum affirmative action benefits?’
Agree with you, grania. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and for years it’s been said Obama applied to Harvard as a foreign student. Let’s see the files; should be interesting.
We do know that while Obama was at Harvard, his literary agents bought into the born-in-Kenya scenario. They claimed it was a fact checking error, but no one ever asked them where they got the fact they failed to check. Perhaps from the same place Harvard got the ‘facts’ re Obama’s birthplace?
There’s no way Obama could have been carefully groomed for the office of POTUS from an early age, if he was spreading the born-in-Kenya myth. No one invests that much in a candidate, only to allow him to proclaim to the world that he’s ineligible. Therefore, if Obama applied as a foreign student, we’ll know he was on his own at least until sometime after his Harvard years.
If, however, his files reveal that he applied as an American...then we’ll still have the mystery of the Out-of-Africa literary agency to solve.
Hopefully some of these records will be opened, and we can get to the bottom of it all. It certainly does continue to matter; no fraud of such proportions should be allowed succeed indefinitely.
