The Obama College Myth Debunked By...

His transcripts are not sealed. They are private. There is a big difference in the two.

For POTUS, one could argue that they are public. What do you know Amy..... What are you hiding?

I'd like to hear that argument:)

I already made the argument. Him being POTUS makes my list public by default. Any expectations of these lowest levels of privacy go out the window when you are POTUS. The people he serves deserve the transparency if POTUS expects their trust and their cooperation (via the House of Representatives). The fact that the election is over is immaterial to his administration of the office.


Or did you mean the argument that we think you are hiding something?

OBAMA COLUMBIA DOCUMENT RELEASED


Obama-Colombia.jpg


The image above--never before released--is from public records at Columbia University that prove that Obama did, in fact, graduate in 1983 from the Ivy League school. Contrary to some conspiracy theories, Obama was a student within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences--not the less selective, “nontraditional” Columbia University School of General Studies (which only merged with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1990).

This never-before-seen document debunks a persistent myth that is unfairly unfavorable to the President.

Some “fact-checking” websites--such as snopes.com and FactCheck.org--have attempted to debunk the “Obama never graduated Columbia” conspiracy theory before. Yet they have relied almost entirely on secondary sources and mainstream media reports, which fail to cite primary sources. And the Obama campaign has not provided details of his admission to, or graduation from, the prestigious Ivy League school.

5 FACTS WE KNOW ABOUT OBAMA’S COLLEGE YEARS

[P]erhaps no set of documents is more coveted due to its total unavailability than the President’s college records. These documents have sparked all sorts of conspiracy theories.

To be fair, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, didn’t release his college records either. Those only became public after a leak from inside Yale University, not due to any consent on the part of the former President.

Well, look no further. Below are five facts regarding Obama’s college years at Columbia, that are a starting point for the discussion.

#5. Barack Obama Did Attend Columbia University

This one is pretty much beyond dispute. Two of Obama’s former roommates, Sohale Siddiqi and Phil Boerner (the latter of whom was also an Occidental transfer) substantiate it, along with one of Obama’s former professors, Michael L. Baron (about whom more later). Politifact also uncovered and spoke to another alumna of Columbia who remembered Obama:

Cathie Currie, who currently teaches social psychology at Adelphi University, recalled Obama joining her group occasionally to play pick-up soccer games on the lawn outside the library. She was a graduate student at the time, and Obama was an undergrad.

He was a good soccer player, she said, even though basketball was his primary athletic passion.

Since JED released Obama's record......does that mean Trump is going to give him $5million bucks?
 
And it isn't just his transcripts mr transparency had sealed from the American public it's his Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records or his adoption records.

But when it comes to Republicans the media shows much more interest and a uncanny ability to get divorce records, medical records, passport records--can't find shit on Obama. Not one damn scandal currently surrounding president magoo was broken by any American news outlet. They are incapable of journalism, the NYT even edited an editorial to make it less damning to the president.

My cousins, girlfriends, neighbors landlady went to Columbia then and she says she doesn't remember seeing him


Do you need more proof?

Really? I think it is legitimate criticism of a sitting president to conceal his college transcripts, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records.

I think it is a pattern of lying and concealing his past, as his autobiography has much fiction through out it.

But it just wouldn't be Obama if he didn't give such lofty speeches, lies, about openness and transparency and honesty. Hypocrite to the core.

Isn't there a message board rule that says he has to share it with everyone who responds to his post?

I don't know of anyone who disputed him going to college.. Red is correct.. we want to know who paid his tuition? What does he application say? Did he come as a foreign exchange student seeking grants, government monies reserved for FOREIGN students?

Bullshit. People have questioned his attendance there. It's happening right now, on this board, in a thread by Freewill. Why would you lie like that?

And here's a funfact for Saturday morning: there is no such thing as a foreign exchange student in college. There just isn't.

It's really NOT that I question his "attendance" at Columbia. My question is how can it be that virtually no one knows him, remembers him (to include his Professors) and no one can ever remember ever seeing him in a classroom.

I graduated from the University of Lousville over 40 years ago. I remember Professors and classmates. THEY remember me. Yet, only one, maybe two have any recollection of this "man". Say what you want - I ain't buying it.

You just contradicted yourself in one post. Not too consistent, are you?

That is an argument for why they should be made public, and I said earlier, I wouldn't oppose a law that makes them so.

However, they aren't public just because he's president. Presidents have never, in the history of our nation, lost the constitutional right to privacy simply by being President.
 
Why not release the damned transcripts then? For fuck's sake you intellectually bankrupt hypocrites on the left droned on and on about Bush being a shit student and having poor grades but at least he was man enough to release his transcripts. All modern presidents have, but Mr Transparency and openness won't release his transcripts. And questioning this is...racist? Go fuck yourself.

Bush didn't release his records. They were leaked. Go fuck YOURself, champ.

Which part of the Constitution addresses this issue? Are y'all inventing stuff again?
 
NO, when you run for president you give up that privacy. The voters have the right to know everything about every candidate----------you on the left demanded Bush's military and college records, and you got them. Why is obama different? why is he exempt from scrutiny? why is he never held responsible for anything?

No, the left did not get them. They were not given up willingly by Bush. They were leaked. Another right-wing lie debunked.

Well you are a regular Snopes huh? Yeah they were leaked by moralless leftists like yourself. We all know Columbia sure as hell isn't going to leak Obama's transcripts.

So, now you admit that Bush did not in fact release his records. And then you say that whoever leaked them is moral-less; yet here you are demanding that Obama release his records. So, I guess that makes you moral-less? :lol:

Your OP is pointless, your debunking myths your making up in your head. The right wing myth that Obama refuses to release his college transcripts, and the criticism over that decision is reality.

Myths made up in my own head? I didn't realize that I made up the lie that Obama never attended Columbia. Glenn Beck, or somebody, owes me some money.

I'm not in charge of keeping up with the records at Columbia, but if I were amd decided to leak someone's transcripts in hopes to do damage to them politically, like what was done to Bush--yes that would be lacking in morals.

Surely you see the differce? Again, criticsm for concealing portions of the life of a sitting president that ran on openness and transparency is legitimate, get the hell over it. Resist that reflex from your repitilian brain to scream racism.

Hey, you posted it. I'm just responding. Go back and edit it if you don't want people knowing that you're a knee-jerking hypocrite.

"The right to privacy is not a part of the Constitution, at least not in so many words. The right to privacy would best be seen in the 9th Amendment, which basically says that just because a right is not in the Constitution, does not necessarily mean that it does not exist. The justices of the Supreme Court, in several cases over the past half century, have found that a right to privacy does exist in the Constitution, to a degree."


Oh, my apologies. I meant to ask if y'all are making up Supreme Court decisions again?

There is no pressing public interest in student records from 30 years ago
 
These documents have sparked all sorts of conspiracy theories.

That this was even an issue at all is partisan idiocy by the right.

It's this coupled with the concealing of Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association and the complete fabrications in his own autobiography.

For fuck's sake you hypocrites on the left were so desperate to crucify Bush you got Dan Rather to report forged documents to the world. Prescott Bush Nazis, 911 trutherism--the horse shit conspiracy theories that liberals concocted were boundless in absurdity.
