What we have here is a dirty political process known as "Swiftboating". John Kerry, look it up.

I'll help you meson, this is what he said.

If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama.

The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal your records?

So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.

Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed?

Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have to maintain good grades?
Root: Obama

What term to you call what dirty harry reid is doing to Romney? What we really have here is somebody saying hey if you folks want to play lets play. I doubt we'll hear much more about this in the media as Axlerod will shut up dirty harry about this whole thing now.

Notice Hannity is careful to make sure to remind his viewers 'I am not a birther" - he's such a coward!
Anyway, even with the goods on Barry, I'm sure they'll come up with some explanation that will make it sound perfectly reasonable. He was a kid. What will he do next to take the focus off of himself, start a war, stage another mass shooting, collapse a few banks, knock out a power grid, what will he do?
Oh, God, not another conspiracy theory!

Chicago style politics. I'm sure when Harry made these outrageous claims, Obama was thinking "I approve this message".

your post claud is from berg's argument in the hollister v soetoro case ( berg lost ). if you'd like to see a point by point breakdown of why berg got it wrong:

Hollister v. Indonesian Citizenship Law | Obama Conspiracy Theories

or read the law for yourself:

UNHCR | Refworld | Law No. 62 of 1958, Law on the Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia

What's the deal with this "White House Panic"? What was Obama's response to this revelation?

He does not say that "Obama went to college as a Foreign citizen" because he admits that he doesn't know one way or the other.

Remember, this guy has been saying for more than four years that nobody at Columbia knew Obama. And that was a lie before it ever first left his lips.

I guess my whole problem with this is that they are college transcripts and documents. Why in the world would anyone seal them let alone the President of the US?

that will be a neat trick since the theory conflicts with US and indonesian law.
