Will the 1991 Biography Discovery Force Obama to Open the Hood?

[Danno 1,228]

How did he use his race?

He could explain better than me.

"I must say, however, that as someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my academic career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Review’s affirmative action policy when I was selected to join the Review last year, I have not felt stigmatized within the broader law school community or as a staff member of the Review."

Barrack Obama- Written in the Harvard law review.

Again, if this is true, I don't blame him for taking advantage, many others who did not have the merit have used family connections etc to get into schools and other positions.

If AA didn't exist, the question is, would he still have made it? DId he perform as well as the other students?

This is the trouble Marvin no one has any idea what he did in school. Perhaps you could post a link of what he wrote and what classes he studied. and what his ideas were when he was in school.

Here is Hillary Clinton 92-page thesis, titled “There is only the Fight, An Analysis of the Alinsky model”

What was the kenyans .......

No, here 's the trouble. You have folks that really think that AA gives you this free ride for your entire life. I'll now channel Mr. Big Dog for a second. Let me break it down for you:

Even if you make it through AA, you still have to PERFORM your job or STUDY in school. If you don't, you get fired or kicked out of school. If it worked the way you think it does, being a minority guarantees you a high paying job, hell I wouldn't be here. I'd be a CEO of some company I wouldn't have the slightest idea about running. I can just walk up and say, hire me because I'm black.

• Claims #1, 2 and 4, college records. Obama’s college records are not “sealed” by a court order, as this graphic would have you believe. It would be illegal under federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) for Occidental, Columbia or Harvard Law School to give any former student’s records to reporters or members of the public without that person’s specific, written permission. Obama hasn’t released them, but neither have other presidential candidates released their college records. George W. Bush’s grades at Yale eventually became public, but only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. Bush himself refused to release them, according to a 1999 profile in the Washington Post.
• Claim #3, thesis paper. Obama did write a paper on nuclear disarmament for an honors course in American foreign policy during his senior year, but it wasn’t the sort of “thesis” that some colleges require for graduation and keep on file in their libraries, like those that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama released. During the 2008 campaign, reporters were told that Columbia had not retained a copy of Obama’s 1983 paper, and that Obama didn’t have a copy, either. NBC News contacted his former professor, Michael Baron, who said he looked for his copy but couldn’t find it, and thought he probably tossed it out eight years earlier in a move.

  NBC quoted Baron as saying the paper likely would have disappointed Obama’s critics. “The course was not a polemical course, it was a course in decision making and how decisions got made,” Baron told NBC. “None of the papers in the class were controversial.”

It's only a problem for you, for the rest of us, it's not a problem because there is no cover up.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I dunno.

He was promoted by a "professional agency" in a published biography as being born in Kenya for 16 years and NOW it is a "bombshell" ??? Where was everyone that was behind this birther movement sleeping until now? I mean, you can google this, right? My grandson could google ths and the birthers didn't find it? Kinda weird

As for proving he was born in the United States, yes he should have to do that. Just as I had to prove I was a citizen for a K-1 visa petition. It is required for the position and should be documented. Beyond that, let it go. He is a piss poor President, a total creep who closes monuments for WW2 soldiers. What does that tell you? He will be gone in a few years and we will all survive, just as we survived piss poor Jimmy Carter.

As for his Obamacare, I may prefer the tact of standing back and let 'er rip. No Republican ever voted for this, it is entirely the Dems "baby". It is going to falter and fail in less than a year if you leave it alone. Whenever the get the webiste actually working and someone besides the welfare people can sign up and find out they are going to get screwed for premiums...its all over. See below

The odd thing is he think she will get "screamed at"....for posting the truth? Hate to say it, but the best way to get this repealed is to get it implemented.

Glad he benefited. If it wasnt for AA many intelligent, qualified blacks would make it no where. The racist would rather employ and admit a garbagecan before they work or sit next to a black person.

Don't know why folks can't see this.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Ow they see it and it is what they want. They want black people broken with no spirit.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Oh I forgot, being black gives you every advantage on the planet. If you don't make it, it's 100% your fault.

See, you're getting there.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Don't know why folks can't see this.

Because they choose to be ignorant.

SO your question is-

Would he have been admitted to Harvard with out the aid of Affirmative action?

Many believe the answer to this would be known if he would just release his school records.

He seems like a bright enough guy, but we are talking about Harvard, which is kinda like the NBA of scholastics.

Just being an able Basket ball player is not enough to get you on the bench of the Chicago Bulls.

Most of them can.

Ignore the handful of ignorant racists on VJ - nobody pays attention to them in real life, no need to do it here.

What you mean is, this is Harvard. Why would a black guy be smart enough to get in? We got it.

Thanks

Something tells me even if he released them, they would assume he cheated, or it's fabricated, just like his birth certificate.
