I heard a trusted source say it and couldn't find what they claimed but didn't spend a lot of time with it. I provided the quote that I did because it brings into question the claim that mentioned for balance. When you consider the amount of students... 85-90 Editors of the Harvard Law Review, out of an estimated 1,000 students from the 2L and 3L classes that might have sought this honor. Obama was also elected President of the Law Review, which according to a Harvard Law spokesperson is not based at all on academics, but on other measures as would occure in any club. it's not a leap to think that the claim is true. The context of what I was saying is that even if it is true, it's not relevant to bring it up 100 years later. I'm not Right or Left or middle, I'm interested in the truth wherever that's found. My issues with him are purely his job performance and nothing else. |

well chuck...if i was to guess how...
i'd say...according to this from the link posted above...
Another immigration memo, from June 1964, records that Harvard officials were trying "to get rid of him" and "couldn't seem to figure out how many wives he had."

Alex Jones and if you know of one instance where he's been wrong I'd love to know about it. He said that you could find it substantiated at infowars. I only like him on the youtubes because his site is annoying and mostly about moving product. |

Now we need to see obamer's grades, because every indication of hard work and doing well scholastically just flies in the face of stereotypes. There's no way in hell he could have gotten on Harvard "anything" without a bump. I mean common stereotypical sense sees through that malarkey...right? THE best was watching Donald complain that he couldn't get in and some of his wealthy friends had sons and daughters who couldn't get in, but this guy? This guy gets in? I mean.. wow. Even David Frum is stunned.. Now the more haunting question: How did this poisonous and not very subtly racist allegation get such a grip on our conservative movement and our Republican party? I know there will be Republican writers and conservative publicists who will now deny that birtherism ever did get a grip. Sorry, that’s just wrong. Not only did Trump surge ahead in Republican polls by flaming racial fires – not only did conservative media outlets from Fox to Drudge to the Breitbart sites indulge the birthers – but so also did every Republican candidate who said, “I take the president at his word.” Birthers did not doubt the president’s “word.” They were doubting the official records of the state of Hawaii. It’s like answering a 9/11 conspiracist by saying, “I take the 9/11 families at their word that they lost their loved ones.” Yet even now, the racialist aspect of the anti-Obama movement has not subsided. Trump has moved from the birth certificate to questioning the president’s academic qualifications for the Harvard Law School. Trump himself was a troubled student (at one point he attended a military school) who nonetheless gained admission to Wharton. His father’s wealth and business success cannot have hurt with that application. Yet he feels himself qualified to pronounce on who is and who is not smart enough to attend Harvard Law. Barack Obama graduated magna cum laude. (And to anticipate a new line of attack – yes, Harvard Law School exams were blind-graded.) He was elected editor of the law review. And his classmates, left and right, universally admired his abilities. I wish it were otherwise, but it does seem that these racialized attacks on Obama have exacted a toll on him. But they also have exacted a toll on the opposition to Obama. The too-faint repudiation of birtherism by regular Republicans has shaped not only the Obama brand, but also the Republican brand. It was not only white people who heard the implied message about who counts and who does not count as a “real American.” http://www.frumforum.com/the-birther-disgrace |
Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them. Balance is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)

http://mediamatters.org/research/201104280021Media Matters takes on some of the silliness absolute fucking craziness. If y'all want to check, one of the comments in ekg's first post says that the doctor who delivered Obama died 12 years later so his signature can't be verified. Therefore, Obama wasn't born a US citizen.
