I know this, he is smarter than people like Bush, Palin... who where poor students... I don't need to see the grades to know that, I can tell when they speak. And you can't teach common sense, which seems to be in short supply all around... on that note, I really hope we all are in agreement, the people of westboro baptist church are the lowest of the low... they not only do a disservice to representing religion, they make humans look bad.

I watched Jason Mattera on Imus this morning about 630A
His book is titled "Obama Zombies"  He's not a-scared to
go after folks about his feelings towards Obama.   A clip
was shown how he went to ask some questions of Al Franken,
who he calls "Senator Smalley" about his knowledge of the
items included in the health care bill, which was downright funny.

You make my point!

Bush was scrutinized by everyone on everything from his high school SAT scores, to his military intelligence exams, to his DUI and military service..  Hell Dan Rather went all in on fake documents in an effort to damage him. 

Bush's intelligence was openly challenged by Gore and Kerry during their respective campaigns.

And Bush's DUI was scrutinized both in his run for Governor of Texas and again in his run for the Presidency.

And yet, what about Obama?
Where was the outrage at his refusing to release education records?
Why wasn't Chris Matthews wetting himself because of some sort of obstruction by the Obama campaign?

Just because you don't care about who your leader is, doesn't mean others don't.

Think about that!

That's a good one, hadn't heard it before.


W was scrutinized because he sounded dumb.
O is scrutinized why? Socialist? Marxist? Nazi?
Either way, they wouldn't get impeached for lying about their college grades or service records.

If we were to assume O didn't have high scores, we have still seen him stump a roomful of House Republicans.
What should be looking for in their records?

It's pretty hard to act highly educated . . .

No fair, they all use teleprompters or message papers on the podium.
He didn't have a teleprompter at the Republican House retreat.

I'm making your point? Not sure how, you want his records? I'm sorry you can't find his grades, if that's what you want, but if that is something he wants private, it's his choice. I don't need to see them to know he's smart. The man walked into enemy camp and took them on, and won... Sealed the deal for me... I knew Bush was a moron from the get go... He's a product of a rich family... If this is a matter of Obama getting some abilty to prove himself, through aff. action? You make the point why it is a good thing, that a smart guy, who otherwise might not get a shot, needs that shot, when you have rich retards skating through life... I didn't need education recrdos to know Bush wasn't smart enough to deliver pizza, and i knew Obama worked pretty hard to be educated as soon as I listened to him speak... you were also questioning his citiizenship.... demanding to see a certificate, that was already in existence... just not some make beleive one haiwaii doesn't produce... keep looking, maybe you will find a blow job, god knows you guys act like you need one!

Oh, MAN...that is FUNNY.  Since it's Good Friday, I'll spare you the list of things that you and your friends (because like it or not you are lumped in with Mr. Riffhard) "knew", with or without supporting "facts",  in the past nine years.

Oh, it's helpful, is it? OK, let's see...as I've often pointed out, our choices were limited in the 2008 election. John McCain, Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, Barack Obama. Let's see (briefly) what we "knew" about their academic histories.

http://www.eduinreview.com/

John McCain: There’s no doubt that John McCain’s military record is exemplary. The same cannot be said for his academic record.  McCain won’t release his Naval Academy GPA or his transcripts, but he did admit to graduating fifth from the bottom of his class!  That’s 894 out of 899. 



Was Sarah Palin a success or a failure in college?  The Internet is positively abuzz with that question, but the answer is a mystery.

Sarah Palin attended six different colleges before she finally graduated with a degree in Communications/Journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987.  Sources say that as a kid, she was kind of a bookworm, but that at college she didn’t distinguish herself.  But really, that’s about all we know.

Palin really ought to just come out and tell us her GPA. Seriously, nobody seems to care that Joe Biden graduated 506 out of 688 from his class, or that McCain finished nearly dead last in his.  I mean, how much worse could Palin’s record be? Americans seem to be more put off by evasiveness than they are by poor grades, so she may as well just release her transcripts.


Joe Biden didn’t do particularly well in college at all.

Biden attended the University of Delaware at Newark, where he earned a degree in history and political science in 1965. According to Paul Taylor’s See How they Run: Electing the President in an Age of Mediaocracy, Biden graduated 506 out of 688 in his class. Somehow, he managed to get into the Syracuse University College of Law. There, he admits that he underperformed as a law student, unlike Barack Obama, who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law.



So how did Barack Obama fare in college?

It’s unclear how well he did as an undergraduate, although he was not a distinguished student. Obama refuses to release his transcript from his undergraduate years.  According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, Obama was not well-known among classmates after he transferred to Columbia University from Occidental College in the early 1980s.  The article quotes a former roommate who states that Obama’s performance improved after he stopped taking drugs (which Obama has admitted to openly).  Since Obama did not graduate with honors, that means his GPA was between a 2.0 and a 3.3 — although, since he was admitted to Harvard Law School, it’s hard to imagine his GPA was much lower than a 3.3.

Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983 with a degree in political science. He specialized in international relations.

Law school was another story for Obama.  He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School (the second highest honor available) in 1991.  He also was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, a very prestigious honor.


******

So...the only one of the people we had to choose from who DID release his or her records was Joe Biden. And from what we can see from the available information, among these four it wasn't even close. Based upon academics alone, it seems like America made the correct choice.

It reminds them a lot of the whole birth certificate thing.  They'd rather have an empty suit than an empty head. (hiccup).

Damn, hard to believe that guy was President, although I realize he didn't win on votes.

After watching that, it's pretty easy to see why Obama got a Nobel prize just for being the US President.

W must have scared that crap out of the rest of the world . . .

Gone.

Sorry, guys, you were warned a few pages back.
