#1 I'm more curious about where the money came from to fund his political career.

#2 What I'm interested to see about Obumble's university records are whether he received any benefits or advantages based on being enrolled as a "foreign student". That scenrio seems reasonably likely.

#3 And who started the whole business about Bush's academic record? Oh, excuse me, that action went down the 1984 Memory Hole. It's all about push back. Someone is playing the game back into the face of those who did it and they're unhappy. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.

The time for politeness is well passed when dealing with the left. If they dish it out, they'd better be prepared to take it in turn.

#4 I think Sheriff Joe has it about right.

#5 > Now that the issue of the president's birth certificate has been laid to rest.

Er that "scan" was as fake as currency with the Zero's face on it.

#6 Letting you see those college records might make your mind up the wrong way!

#7 Lone Ranger, I think he got enough points in Affirmative Action such that claiming foreign student status wasn't necessary.

And the latter can be harmful: for a number of graduate programs, foreign students are not eligible for student aid. Not sure if that's true for Harvard Law.

I wouldn't mind a look at his transcripts since he's supposed to be so smart. Remember 2004 when Kerry was supposed to be the smart one? Later, much later, after the election, we learned that the big dummy Dubya had a better GPA at Yale than did the schmart one Kerry.

So I'd like to see how Champ really did in his academics. And his bar exam.

#8 we learned that the big dummy Dubya had a better GPA at Yale than did the schmart one Kerry
Not that this "learning" really makes one bit of difference to the electorate, many of which still seems to think Dubya was no smarter than a bag of rocks, and which still doesn't mind that Jawn F'ing Kerry was only as smart as a half bag of rocks.

#9 I think we had Perry's college record in mere days after joining.

#10 Obama is as goofy as a $3 bill--we know nothing about him other than he was a community organizer, one-term Senator, and a doper who had composite girlfriends. Now just how does that qualify you to be President?

#11 "just how does that qualify you to be President?"

I think it's more about race, John.

What? He's obviously Manchurian....

#12 I'm guessing that his people looked at his transcripts, realized his grades weren't as good as W's (or McCain's) and locked 'em up tight to avoid comparison. They built an illusion about him being really smart because he was good on a teleprompter when he's basically a egotist pothead who was smart enough to fly under the radar and leave minimal record of his existence until the election.
