I take her word over yours. She doesn't lie about who she is. So she's got a leg up on you.

Nothing to offer minorities?

How about the same thing that everyone else is offered- freedom, minimal interference from government, and the OPPORTUNITY to excel.


Libs are convinced that minorities are inferior, thus thier obsession with giving them treats, as one would give a dependent child. Encouraging single parent families and promoting the welfare state is keeping minorities "on the plantation" and dependent upon government. That is not "a helping hand", that is servitude. Given how fond libs are of totalitarianism, it certainly fits thier general ideology.

Look at the wonders that are Detroit, East St. Louis, Newark, Watts, South side of Chicago, and Philadelphia to see the "success" of liberalism. It is the fast track to third world standards of living.

But we know the name of Obama's high school, and it wasn't in Indonesia. Why would there be any temporary college address on a transcript if one has graduated?
I have copies of both my transcripts sitting in front of me (I needed them to apply for my professorship).

There is no address on my undergrad transcript at all.

There is an address on my grad school transcript, but not of my permanent address at the time I earned the degree. Instead it has the address I live at now, to where they sent the transcript copy.

I doubt we would see such a discussion as this, if our current President was a 100% White man, instead of a mixed-race American.

Indeed. There was very little 'concern' last year that the other guy in the Presidential race didn't release his college transcripts, either.

And after all, what's the point in getting that information after the election? If it should be seen, it should be seen before the election. Yet all the "OMG, Obama won't release his transcripts!" fools never uttered a peep about wanting to see Romney's transcripts.

Personally, I don't need to see any of them. The fact that they both graduated with secondary degrees honors from Harvard (law for Obama, law/business for Romney) is enough for me -- but then, I'm not lunatic enough to think that Harvard must be 'in on the conspiracy').

You don't repay your loan to the college. In Obama's time, a bank loaned you the money. That is who you repay.

Oh, good grief! Not that old canard! There is reasonable doubt among a lot of them. Sarah Palin (since she's in the title)? I'd love to see her transcripts. There's plenty of doubt if she even attended some of those 5 colleges. Apparently she never took any classes, at least none that she finished (see a pattern with her here?) in Hawaii. And how did Sarah, who was supposedly so poor, according to some of you, afford to go out of state to HI and Idaho? HI in particular would incur a lot of travel expenses, too.

WRT Sarah Palin, not so much. Surely you can't believe that woman possesses much intelligence.

My undergrad transcript (1966) has a permanent address; grad transcript (1984) has no address.

Have you ever been required by any employer or prospective employer to produce your transcripts to prove you graduated? I certainly haven't.

Again, I don't have a copy of my college transcripts and up to this point, I'm 38 years old and work as a consultant for Dell, I've never needed one.

Why is that? You would think for the most powerful position in the world, at minimum, a copy of their
college transcripts if attended, should be put into a public record.

I know it hasn't been that way, but present day....I'd like to see those grades.
A little more info before heading to that voting booth

It's easy to find out whether or not we have an idiot in the WH after the fact,
but some fair warning before they get there, would be a helpful heads up
