He was a legacy, but his SATs were actually pretty decent. Not as good as mine (or Al Gore's) but repectable.

1206.

Sorry, I was making a general statement. I did NOT say YOU, I said SOME. If it doesn't apply to you ignore it.

I and some others, are not attacking a record we have never seen.

There is no argument. You are wrong. Period. Its kinda like disputing the fact that water is wet.
You are wrong in your assumption about what I am saying..

Let's make it simple instead of all this running around in circles.

Do you agree with this statement, Schools keep students records private, sealed, UNLESS the student authorizes release of those records?
yes or no.

The student HAS the authority to release those records.
yes or no.

That is all there is. IF Obama wanted his records released, the school would release them. period.

yes or no.
No. They are confidential records, protected by law. But they are not "sealed" which requires an order of a court.

So, you are admitting that he has not actually had any of his records sealed?

Yes or No?

He was called "dumb" not because he got into private schools and an elite college because of money, but because of the stupid comments and actions that he has performed throughout his presidential career. BTW, look this up. every company that Bush has owned (except the Baseball team) has failed! But yet you "Bush was qualified to be president" screamers failed to mention this. Question, if every company that he got his grubby little hands on failed, why do you think that he was qualified to run the biggest company in the world?

BTW, what will he run on in 2012? Here are the Drudge headlines, just for today, which one will Obama run on as a reason to reelect him?

Wah, wah wah Obama did not do this and Obama did not do that Wah, Wah

As far as you are concerned he did not do anything, Iguess that you should ask the GM employees and everyone connected to the Automobile industry as well, how about those folks that could not get healthcare before he was elected?

I know this is an aside but on the baseball team, it's interesting how Bush made money on that.

At the time, Bush's father was President. Bush was 'asked' to be an investor in the Texas Rangers and it just so happened that after Bush invested the State of Texas decided to build them a stadium. Bush's interest in the Rangers skyrocketed and he sold his shares to another investor.

There were allegations of insider trading but those charges were heard by the SEC, of which the chairman was a Bush family friend and stacked heavily with Bush senior appointees. Do you want to guess how the SEC voted?

You silly rabbit! You do realize that being a govenor does not automatically make you qualified to be the president? How about a US senator? Because through your hatered or ignorance you fail to realize that Pres. Obama was a senator from Il. Oh BTW, Graduating from college does not make you qualified either, but since you love drinking from the Obama haterade machine facts mean very little to you anyway

and the media covering for him does not mean he is smart
it means he is conning and that's all
to be he is a second rate hack, nothing more
knowing how proud he is of himself, if there were something to boast about in his records they would have been flung all over the place by now
And this is coming from someone that thought Herman "Uncle Ruckus" Cain was actually electable

LOL. I'm not wrong in your assumption in what you are saying. You said, as stated in this thread, that President Obama sealed his records. That is a factually incorrect statement.

Now if you want to complain about Barack Obama not sharing his transcripts with you then go ahead. No president is obligated to show them to anyone since it has nothing to do with his or her's eligibility to serve as President. Its not going to prove anything other than the fact the Barack Obama had Magna C*m Laude level grades. Which by Harvard standards would leave him in the top 20% of the graduating class which would probably be about a 3.7-3.8.
