First why is this question so pressing? Second why the heck would I have his transcripts? Third what do Obama's transcripts have to do with anything I have posted in this entire thread?

Even if he did make the law review, then why don't they disclose his GPA? Wouldn't they want everyone to know just how high it is?

Oh and to the above poster who put the link, it still didn't answer my question. Where are the transcripts? Why haven't they been leaked like Bush's and Perry's?
For some odd reason, Clinton's, nor Bush I's, nor Reagan's, nor Carter's, nor Ford's, nor Nixon's, etc have been leaked. Just Bush II, Kerry, and now Perry's. Not Sarah Palin's, either.

I don't know, if I had to guess I would guess that like many people he views grades as a private thing.

With that said his making Harvard Law Review is proof enough that he is no academic slouch.

First. It's because you guys are bagging on Bush and Perry for their GPAs, yet you offer no transcript to prove Obama got better grades.

Second. The reason you would have it is to prove that he did better than Bush and Perry.

Third. Obama's transcripts have everything to do with this thread. You guys are so quick to jump down Perry's throat for his grades yet you don't have any grades to show that Obama did better.

It would be almost impossible, if not impossible for him to have gotten on to something that is one of the most direct paths to a Supreme Court clerkship with grades at Perry's level.

According to harvard.edu: "The applicant must have earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university by August of the year for which they are applying. Said applicant must also have taken and passed the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Applicants generally rank in top 10% of their college's graduating class in the top 5% of the LSAT. Percentile requirements are sometimes waived as candidates are judged on their overall educational ability/achievements and societal attributes. Approximately 7,000 students apply each year for 550 law school openings."
What are the requirements for entering Harvard Law School

I think we can assume that Obama had good grades. As for Perry, he might have been qualified for the same law school Bachmann graduated from...
Jerry Falwell's fundie law school.

Second. The reason you would have it is to prove that he did better than Bush and Perry.Harvard Law Review is pretty much a self proving argument in that regard.

Third. Obama's transcripts have everything to do with this thread. You guys are so quick to jump down Perry's throat for his grades yet you don't have any grades to show that Obama did better.Again you don't make it into Harvard Law, much less Harvard Law Review without the grades.

Once more to make Harvard Law Review you have to beat out 90%+ of people who were accepted to and attend Harvard Law with you. Obama was president of Harvard Law meaning he was the big kahuna of the big kahunas.
