Affirmative action is about giving people an opportunity, not about gifting them with outstanding grades. And his grades would not be just passing, they would be outstanding, in order to graduate magna c-um laude.

As for a teleprompter, they've been in use for quite some time. There is no disgrace in speakers using teleprompters.

And your comment about Stalin's brain---what the heck? Do you self-edit at all? Because that's out of line, irrelevant, and just nonsensical.

Just look up Harvard's alumni records.

They've been posted on this thread already.

The little "mlc" notation that is shown. That means "magna c-um laude". It denotes that he graduatued with high honors. That is recognition.

Yeah. He 'failed' so completely he was elected State Senator and then U.S. Senator and then President of the United States of America.

Everyone should aspire to 'fail' so well.

I asked some time ago for at least one creditable persons name that has any evidence showing Obama isn't eligible to be POTUS, so far nothing. All anyone can come up with are people that have no knowledge of what they are stating, or some wacko sheriff.
This. is. classic.

He only got 'TWO' bills passed as a U.S. Senator. That's it. As far as his State Senator records go, well, his were were lost. There are no archives of what he did.

You know, I've read that over and over again. It originally came from World Nuts Daily. Now, having lived in Illinois for seven years, I know the place is corrupt, but I can't imagine that the State Senate records for the years Obama served have all been *lost*.

In how many years?

Shall we look at Ron Paul's legislative record? Or how many times he has unsuccessfully run for president?

Like I said: everyone should aspire to 'fail' as well as President Barack Obama.

Oh, Nita, we know he graduated magna c um laude because it's a public record. It became public record when he graduated. If you go to the University of Arkansas law school commencement, they have a little program, a schedule of events that lists the speakers and so on, and also lists every graduate. Next to their name, there will be little letters like "cl", "mcl", "scl" and even other notations, to signify honors and achievements. Those programs make this information public, it is not part of the private record of the student. When Obama graduated Harvard, there was a similar program distributed. And from that day forward, it was a matter of public record that Obama graduated "mcl", with high honors. Which is why, if you look at Harvard's lists of alumni, Obama is listed, with the information of which school he attended at Harvard (the law school), what years he attended, and that he graduated mcl.

So, we do know.

You have no premise to assert that Obama wasn't qualified to lecture on Constitutional law, and your "plausible answer" that he had incompletes in Constitutional law aren't plausible at all. And the fact that you don't understand that the University of Chicago would have requested his transcripts before hiring him as a lecturer is indicative of poor thinking skills. If you told this story during an interview, you wouldn't get hired.
I never worked at McDonald's - even my summer job when in school was at a large city public library. My first job out of college was at a very respected Medical School working for a person who a few years later won a Nobel prize for work done while I was there. I won't even go into what later jobs were for privacy reasons, but suffice it to say that you would be impressed. I think I know a little bit about interviewing for a high level job and never said that his transcripts would not have been viewed. You asked what course would have been problematic if revealed that he took an incomplete and I offered an answer. I never said that it was a fact or even that he had any incompletes, just that it would answer your question. If you believe the premise that he or
his minions are actively working to keep his law school records sealed, then one might wonder why.

You offered a nonsensical answer. I pointed out how ridiculous it was. Now you are quibbling because you only offered it as a possibility, not as fact. Backpedal, much?
