    Why is it that no one remembers Obama in school?

    Lots of people who went to school with Obama have come forward. Have you bothered to read their remarks over the past 3 years?

    Name some.
    While you're at it. Tell us how many people were in his graduating class and how many were summa cum laude?

    so you assume that Bush was a legacy admisssion? - perhaps.

    then why is it a stretch to assume that Obama was an underqualified affirmative action admittee? and until we see his ALL of his academic transcripts and work product that only safe assumption is Obama was treated to double standards - just like Bush.

    and until we see the work product from his work on his "autobiography" the only safe assumption there is to assume that he used a ghost writer.

    at least Palin was honest enough to admit that she used a ghost writer.

    Most people criticizing probably don't understand half the words in that letter. It's much easier to let some blog weiner interpret it for them so they can release it to the masses on boards like this.

    Isn't that a lot like saying "she was the prettiest of the ugly people?"

    If I was sukme cum loudly from Harvard I'd give it a go. But I'm not. All I can tell you is my expectations for such a graduate.

    Either the school is a fraud or Obama is.

    This is my interpretation of the right wing piece you cited.

    Obama uses big words and long sentences. This is proof he can not write. His writings themselves are proof of not being able to write.

    You know what is (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hilarious? Criticism that the president's writing is beyond the intellectual reach of the average right wing blog reader so therefore it is bad. I laugh at folks whose intellectual shortcomings make them criticize others whom are of an obvious higher IQ.

    It's not all that deep or intellectual a letter, but the actual criticisms in the article are actually misleading.

    For example when he complains of the letter's redundancy, he said obama said something like "some are chosen and others are selected". Wow, Obama screwed up, right?


    Well, yes, until you actually read what he wrote:

    "Approximately half of this first batch is chosen solely on their performance on the writing competition; the other half are selected on a weighted formula of 70 percent grades and 30 percent writing competition."



    The American Thinker article is pretty much garbage.....and a lot of people here have outsourced their ability to think to the rube that wrote it. This article says much less about Obama and more about the person that wrote it and the people who are running with it without any examination.

    You don't know (*)(*)(*)(*) about his grade because he won't release them. All we know is the "magna cum laude" bestowed upon him could be honorary and not actually earned. Release his grade, then we'll see if he's really an intellectual you lefties think he is.

    We are beginning to understand that Obama is so incompetent that he could not write his autobiographical masterpiece and had to employ the services of a retired terrorist to ghostwrite it for him.

    Obama is an affirmative action welfare baby who would never have gotten as far he has based on his merits.

    are you implying that Agricultural Colleges are the academic equivalent of "ugly people"?

    Those are the current standards enacted because everyone during Obama's time at Harvard graduated with honors. It became so common that honors were cheapened. In the early 00s Harvard had to enact standards.

    Graduating magna cum laude at the time Obama did is basically the equivalent of a B average once grade inflation is taken into account.

    Face it. Your messiah is a dingbat who hasn't so much as run a lemonade stand. The man hasn't done an honest days work in his entire life.

    At least Texas A&M doesn't have a history of grade inflation.
    In that aspect, Texas A&M is a more honorable institution than Harvard.

    thanks for the opinion - outperforming Asians? hmmm, I think that is a phenom of a generation that came after mine. in my generation the overachievers were the Jews. So, maybe it was the Jews who had pity and allowed the graduation of a few Southern Baptists.

    Why not? Look at obama. He's a great big nothing inflated to the level of messiah to his mindless followers.

    Look, one of the Obama worshipers is losing it. Can't handle the fact that their precious little nitwit is nothing more than a windbag with no real-life experience or accolades.
