Why are Obama's records sealed? (voters, European, American, liberals)

President Obama graduated magna c.u m laude. That means that his grades were better than the majority of other students. His transcript will only record those superior grades. So the "records" that you are demanding are of his superior grades?

His grades were "affirmative action" grades.

do you have any evidence to support this claim or is it complete speculation?

But, yeah, the conspiracy thing makes a lot more sense.

Obama was elected not on his political record (he barely had one) or on being black just like other blacks.

He was elected because he was both black and brilliant -- the smartest guy in the room, wherever that room might be.

That's the way he was sold to us. It's the way he sold himself to us.

Other presidents have not sold themselves that way.

Obama could release his records. There is no reason for him not to -- unless he's not what he's cracked up to be.

And there is every reason for him to do it if he really is "all that." Doing it would be consistent with other things he's done.

I mean, the guy hasn't been exactly shy about airing his laundry in public.

Not just one, but TWO, books about his life before he had even accomplished anything!

So why're you hiding your records, Barry?

I also wonder why he didn't volunteer to serve his country in 1991 during the first gulf war.

So in other words you only ask for his records, but NO ONE else's because of how you perceived him to be sold?

Res ipsa loquitur.

The guy's not that bright. That should be obvious by now.

He reminds me of Peter Sellers in "Being There."

Except Sellers was a pleasant and decent fellow. Which Obama is not.

Don't you know that transcripts have a section that tells professors how to grade each student based on their AA ranking?
"please grade this student on the black scale" "This student gets the Hispanic grade scale" "Suzie gets the female grading scale"

They wouldn't be affirmative action grades if they were marked as such.

Affirmative action is always hidden in the background.

It promotes you to a position you would not otherwise have attained.

It rather spoils things to advertise that fact.

First of all, it was in the program that was handed out at the graduation ceremonies. It was also in the newspaper listing graduates (the small letters "mcl" next to a person's name). It is also mentioned numerous times by Harvard, in the various news items that Harvard has itself published, and that have been published about Obama's attendance and graduation from Harvard Law.

"O'baggers" and "Obambo" are offensive by the way.

And his records cannot be hidden when we know exactly where they are.
