we don't even know if a donation directly to harvard is the source of the $200,000.00 claim.


honest question for anyone in the know:

who is the commenter who made the claim and what are her credentials?

Exchanged from where? He graduated from high school in Hawaii. He went to Occidental briefly, then to Columbia where he graduated. He attended law school at Harvard. ALL schools in the United States.

Editors work hard at any publication. That's why EVERY publication, be it a high school yearbook to the London Times has an editor. "Editor" is not just an honorary title.

I have to defend Fox News on this one. Fox News did not report this. A shock jock on a conservative talk show aired by Fox News made this unsupported allegation. There has been no evidence brought forward to defend this allegation. And Fox News Network explicitly states it's not responsible for the opinions and statements made by commentators on these talk shows, which are not news, but entertainment. The Fox News program is separate from the entertainment talk shows, like The Five or O'Reilly Report or the Mike Huckabee show.

I'm going with one of these as my guesses:

1. Failed economics
2. Transcript shows him as a foreign student
3. Majored in gender studies
4. Shows his real middle name is Bubba.
5. Has a lot of Incompletes.

Actually #5 would be my choice. In many schools incompletes do not count in GPA and different schools have different drop dates for being able to take incomplete with no damage to GPA. Many schools have surprisingly liberal drop dates.

Harvard Law School.

Can't have many incompletes and still graduate within the normal three years.

He wouldn't have completed law school in 3 years if he kept dropping classes. Also, no one who graduates Magna C.um Laude and becomes President of the Law Review at Harvard Law is going to have a ton of incompletes. That's reserved for students that can't do the work, are on the verge of failing, and have no other option than dropping the class.

So no, that's not it.

Gawd, I stayed up late last night to watch yesterday's rerun (the 12th) of this show. Dude, hate to break it to you, that video wasn't yesterday. I didn't bother to watch your clip until today, didn't realise if was a birther clip or I would have gone to bed instead. As far as your chip itself, one person, Jeanean? barely mumbled it on a one hour journalist show. That's NOT Fox reporting it as fact, that's not breaking news or anything else. Good grief, your title is misleading. Would I like to see his transcripts? Sure, I would. Do I doubt he had good grades? No, they had to be good. Birther's are nuts.
