Obama's Years at Columbia Are a Mystery - September 2, 2008 - The New York Sun

Quote:
But one chapter of the tale remains a blank — his education at Columbia College, a place he rarely speaks about and where few people seem to remember him.

Contributing to the mystery is the fact that nobody knows just how well Mr. Obama, unlike Senator McCain and most other major candidates for the past two elections, performed as a student.

The Obama campaign has refused to release his college transcript, despite an academic career that led him to Harvard Law School and, later, to a lecturing position at the University of Chicago. The shroud surrounding his experience at Columbia contrasts with that of other major party nominees since 2000, all whom have eventually released information about their college performance or seen it leaked to the public.
This is the kind of stuff the media has allowed him to get away with. Why not release your records? Just like all the other records you refuse to release and continue to hide from the voters.

And while we're at it, let's see Palins transcript from *snickers* University of Idaho (LOL!)!

Didn't she graduate with a degree in Journalism? Now she wants to be a VP.

Sad.

(1) You have to be brilliant to be accepted into any undergrad college at Columbia.

(2) You have to be even more brilliant to be accepted into Harvard Law School. There is no way anyone with poor grades, a la McCain could gain admission into Harvard Law School.

How could you be so misinformed? Please read up before trolling this forum with more garbage.

Look up: "LEGACY"

Bush was a C student in high school. The ONLY reason he was admitted into Harvard was because of his family legacy.

Everyone knows that. Why don't you?

LOL!! And why are we even discussing this?

Two words for you: HARVARD REVIEW. You have to be absolutely brilliant to get into the Harvard Review let alone become PRESIDENT of the Harvard Review so none of your arguments hold any ground.

Give it up!!!
