OMG! NBC nightly news trying to squash Obama birth certificate debate.

Quote from insider trading:

Why stop there ? Maybe Obama never graduated from high school

Well, they can't deny he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, so they figure they'll throw all kinds of other crap on the wall, see if any of it sticks.
Notice how every single thing he did is used against him? Crazy.
 
Quote from trefoil:

First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review

I suppose The NY Times deliberately made that up in 1990.

Harvard Crimson:



...and the Harvard Crimson, for some reason, just made that one up too.

Nutty and nuttier.

I didn't dispute that he was Editor of the Law Review. I did ask how he graduated magna and had anyone seen his transcript. I suspect as the first black Law Review President, he got a lot of special consideration. Grading is supposed to be done anonymously but there has long been speculation that Law Review members got favorable grades in recognition of the tremendous time commitment devoted to Review.

The fact is, anyone who is Editor in Chief is expected to produce intellectually significant legal scholarship. Obama never did, either as a student or after. He has to be the only person on the Chicago Law faculty, maybe ever, who has never authored even a law review Article. Most have written books that are considered primary sources. Obama? A ridiculous memoir.

BTW, the NY Time article had an obvious error in the first paragraph, unless you really think obama's mom was an anthropologist doing "field work" in indonesia.

Man, AAA, just when I think you may be back to thinking again, you bring up Obama's mom and her question her career?


President Barack Obama’s mother, S. Ann Dunham, was an economic anthropologist and rural development consultant who worked in several countries including Indonesia. Dunham received her doctorate in 1992. She died in 1995, at the age of 52, before having the opportunity to revise her dissertation for publication, as she had planned. Alice G. Dewey and Nancy I. Cooper, Dunham’s graduate adviser and fellow graduate student respectively, undertook the revisions at the request of Dunham’s daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng. The result is Surviving against the Odds, a book based on Dunham’s research, over a period of fourteen years, among the rural craftsmen of Java, the island home to nearly half Indonesia’s population.

From those crazies at Duke University.

And, sure, trying to make money from the President and all that.

So at the time of the article in the NYT, she was essentially a part-time student living in Indonesia with her husband. I suppose the article was literally correct in the same way an unemployed person can call themselves a consultant.

:p

...and earned a doctorate for what she was doing two years later? Are you really serious?
We need an icon with rolling eyes for stuff like this.
