I don't think the onus is on Obama to disprove every idiotic theory that his detractors throw out there.

But he spent $200,000.00. Why?
This story is a lie. I was just on FOX' website. There is no mention of this story.

What are you talking about? He graduated Magna C.u.m. Laude which is solely based on GPA. In other words, he was one of the highest performing student's at Harvard Law.

Obama does not have to spend one cent to keep his Harvard transcripts from being released. They are protected by the same privacy laws as everyone else's. Of course, the majority of the Obama haters who post here on CD have not even gone to college so it seems. One recently referred to a transcript as a "report card".
You can't talk about Bush when it's convenient for you but you can talk about Bush when it's convenient for you. Man I wish you libs would make up your damn minds.

ok.

it's a completely unsupported claim that isn't addressed any further than it's original statement.

will be curious to see if there is anything more from this.

Apparently Harvard is going to offer a one credit course to students about Obama attending Harvard but how can that be when they don't have any study material since his Harvard Law Review articles haven't been released? Ironically the course is called 'Understanding Obama'.


Fox News: Harvard Should Release Obama's Records He Spent $200,000 Hiding - YouTube
Like all the rest of the stoooopid "birther-type" claims this turned out to be a lot of hot air.

Fox News reported no such thing. One of their airhead commenters just made an offhand smart-*ss quip.



Geeze, some folks are sooooooo gullible (or more to the point so desperate to believe).
Try linking to a REAL Fox News story claiming that why don't you?
If you CAN.

All President's have their speeches written for them. There is an entire department of the White House Staff devoted to Speech writing for the President.
