Today's satire thesis story that broke and then unbroke has simply reignited the musings of why this president - who was elected on, among other things, the promise of more open and honest government, conceals his own college record as some great secret. It would seem if his college records were helpful to shaping his image, they would be shared. Even if they did nothing to further said image, they would be shared. So why all the intentional secrecy? The media is not quite so in lock step with Mr. Obama anymore - today's events might lead a few, and then a few more, to start asking questions regarding Obama's actual past. Hmmm....
I'm not gonna go down the birther path right now - but having a president disclose his academic record during his adult academic years seems pretty basic. Outside of his own versions - what do we really know about Obama's past? What was his political philosophy in college? His actual academic performance? Why hide those things from the American people?
He has had his college transcripts sealed and there's not a scrap of editorial writing to be found, from when he was allegedly the editor of the vaunted Harvard Law Review. McLoser had it right: For someone who has two "autobiographies", his life sure isn't an open book.
he was the editor, the law review expressly said so....there is no way the harvard law review editor for that year would allow his or her name to be stricten just so obama could be named editor.... he hides his writings and transcripts for the same reason bush did....they are not relevent to being elected, bush however, caved in.....
I want to know what he had taped inside his locker in junior high. It's pretty amusing that you dupes have nothing so you go on a witch hunt about something written almost three decades ago.
When you run your campaign with your prowess as a legal and constitutional scholar as your centerpiece, your law school transcripts certainly are fair game. Shrubbie ran on his political record in Texas, not as a great scholar at Harvard and Yale.
