Are you under some sort of impression that transcripts are somehow independent of the institution that releases them?

Do you think transcripts are stored at some massive warehouse in Nebraska, miles from anywhere?

And that Secret Service agents guard the warehouse contents?

Oh, so Harvard is now part of your nutjob conspiracy too?
Explain to me the scenario where Harvard lies on Obama's behalf starting 20 years ago when he was a nobody. Go ahead, sell me on it.
Think carefully about your answer now, you don't want to make an even bigger fool out of yourself.

Your comments about affirmative action suggests that you thing that all minority students have poor grades. That kind of assumption is what leads to racism accusations. Many minority students are brilliant.
Yep, but we'll never know if Obama is one of the brilliant ones or not because he won't disclose his transcripts. Until then, we'll have to go by his very poor writing skills sample.

Why would Harvard select one of the non-brilliant applicants when they could have chosen only brilliant ones?

Second request - please analyze the letter in question and tell us, in your own words, what makes it an example of "very poor writing skills."

What makes you think only brilliant ones apply to Harvard?

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
Has it occurred to you that Obama has absolutely no interest in appeasing people such as yourself, clamoring for this information? I think it goes beyond not dignifying stupid assertions with a response, and into the territory of him absolutely not giving a sh** what you people think. It's not like acquiescing is enough for you people. The birth certificate is proof of that. It's not like he's going to win you over, or get your votes by jumping through hoops for you.
I genuinely applaud him for not giving you and your ilk the validation of a response to any of the idiotic claims you make.

They're not sealed. They are protected by the same privacy laws that protect your personal information.
