Why are Obama's records sealed? (interview, salesman, Republicans, conservative)

You don't need to go far to find Obama's disciples. You can start with Chris Matthews at MSNBC. Editorials in the New York Times. Chants of Obama's name. Etc.

You can deny the obvious if you want. It is still obvious.

So you agree that this is a label that Obama opponents have hung on him, but not his supporters?

Thanks for confirming this.

You can be disingenuous if you want. Other people will still notice.

On the off-chance that you don't actually know any college graduates in their fifties, most people stop bragging about their college transcripts around the time that they get their first job.

Obama ran for office based on his autobiography, his life story.

So many details given to us in his two books but -- how odd -- his school records hidden away from us.

Yes.

Why is Obama hiding his brilliant record of achievement?

He's a very public man.

In fact, he wrote not one but TWO books about himself before he was even president and after only serving a year or so in the Senate.

How many speeches has he given. He's a veritable speech-making machine.

But his brilliant record of achievement must be kept under lock and key.

Strange, very strange.

Maybe he took a course in teleprompter reading.

What was his college major?

Did he ever take a basic math or economics class?

We would know if he released his records.

No.

The "Messiah" label comes entirely from Obama's supporters prostrating themselves before His Greatness.

Of course, they are annoyed when their silly behavior is pointed out to them.

Thus their attack on conservatives and Republicans who have simply noticed and pointed out the obvious.

You can see it right here.

Page after page of Obama's acolytes overreacting to a simple and innocent question as to why Obama is so determined to hide his school records.

But enjoy building your straw men and knocking them down.

I also find "the most brilliant of the affirmative action students" a strange formulation.

You're the one telling us that Obama got into Harvard based on affirmative action (something you have no proof of whatsoever). With the inference that Obama wouldn't have made it on his own merit. Because the students that apply to Harvard who might qualify for affirmative action aren't qualified. I'm pointing out that Harvard gets many more applicants than they accept, so students who might qualify for affirmative action would still be competing to get into the school and would be of the highest caliber. Because of the high caliber of the applicants and the number of applicants, Harvard doesn't have to accept any sub-standard students.

Affirmative action applicants displace better-qualified applicants.

That's why they need affirmative action to get in.

It seems to me that Harvard should not be rejecting qualified students in favor of unqualified ones.

That is not what any serious school -- I mean serious about education and advancing knowledge -- would ever do.

Of course, this raises question: Do we have serious schools in this country anymore?

I would say not.

If the affirmative action applicants admitted to Harvard are so brilliant, then they should have no problem getting into most colleges and universities without affirmative action, without displacing more qualified candidates.

They would also enjoy the experience more, being with their equals.

I can't see my keys right now. Are they hidden?

He also ran on his political record, and on his political positions and proposals.
