There is no way that he entered law school without a Masters degree and Columbia would have required a Masters thesis for that degree. Oh yeah, he either bought those degrees or he earned them. I lean toward the earned manner of getting them. I guess neither school is very proud of their latest number one student to win degrees from them. Come on and realize that most schools are proud enough to have copies of those papers in the library and today it would be on computerized systems. They are there, and all I worry about is what name is on them.
Dude, no thesis is required to complete either a BA or a JD. An LLD is different than a JD. Just because you needed to complete a thesis for your postgrad education doesn't mean he did.

Well they got it and look what is coming.

How did he inherit a terrorist attack? He took office in January of 2001! We need to start kissing butt and start making some friends so we never have to go it alone,also to open up the possibility of trade again that GWB screwed up.We need to be out of Iraq,and we need to see if peace with Iran is possible.If you knew anything about these countries you'd realize that ALOT of them want to do business with us because they know the americans love to spend money more then just about any other country.

How dare you question the ONE?? HE is the hero of our times. You sir are an ABO aren't you?? Tell the truth. Even though his trillions of spending will help out the unions all over. Ooops I'm not supposed to say that kind of stuff.

Have you ever held the job of President of U.S.? I think not.

I ask these questions because there must be something there since he has hired three law firms to keep them secret. When any deep, dark secrets are around I always wonder why they are so deep and dark.

Could you explain these questions to me?
You've had this explained to you probably over a hundred times....so what is your reason for continuing to bring up the topic?

They are sealed because even the President has a right to privacy. Not all personal records are PUBLIC RECORDS.

You seem to ask these questions because you are desperately trying to CREATE an issue. Also, please provide any proof you can find at all which confirms that Obama has HIRED any law firms to represent him. Link, please?

The issues you are bringing up in this thread have been fully discussed in Truegritt's thread about Obama's birth certificate and the lawsuits filed by Orly Taitz. You are likely to find answers to your questions in that thread, if, in fact, you are looking for answers, and not just busily trying to create an issue where there is none.

In Truegritt's thread there is a statement by one of Obama's lawyers who works in a law firm in California which says those lawyers are doing the work PRO BONO. Do you know what that means?

Again, please provide any proof you have that Obama has Hired and is Paying three law firms to represent him in the various lawsuits. THEN, proceed to Truegritts thread to discuss the release of private records such as school records, etc. where this issue has been discussed. There have been lawsuits filed on that subject and the answers to your questions are all available in the Truegritt thread in re Obama's birth certificate.

This thread is about TELEPROMPTERs.

Ray, you surely wrote a major paper for your graduate degree, I did. Mine, as I have said was bound and in the library before I got my graduate degree. Now when did I say anything about an undergraduate thesis? I didn't see that. I don't think I even mentioned Occidental College at all but then it is good to have all of it out there for all to see.

One more time. A Masters thesis is not an undergraduate paper. The amount of research needed for it far exceeds anything people do for undergraduate papers, in fact in the old days it was required that you cover everything that was ever published about the topic. At least, in your bibliography.

Really, I don't know any people who have received doctorates in any field without writing a doctoral dissertation. I am sorry that we don't do that anymore. No wonder people are so worried about the state of education these days if we have slipped that far.

I still want to see his records at those two schools to see what his name was when he attended them. I don't care about grades, just names.

Ummmm, I administered the LSAT for years.
You are tested and one part of the exam is a written essay.
Law School is a mater's degree. You attend after a bachelor's degree.
What are you talking about?
Please buy a clue before you continue to post here.

Law schools don't require a thesis. All I could find was that some law schools offer an OPTIONAL thesis.
