We're talking Rusbo here people. A multiple married, drug addicted, little boy loving, fat bastard who's been known to not only stretch the truth but to out and out LIE about all things not teaparty related, as long as it gets his idiotic followers in a lather. Screw Rush!

I wouldn't believe anything that came out of Rush's lying mouth. He hates the president so much that he will do anything to demean him. Wonder why we never hear anything about Limbo's grades? Could it be that he was too busy doing drugs, and stoned out of his head?

Very likely it happened throughout his entire college/university career and that is why he refuses to release his school records. I mean, someone who thinks his father (born in 1936) served in World War II or that the US has 57 states, obviously didn't pay much attention in school.

The Zero hasn't exactly demonstrated any evidence of any real learning. Heck, just his demonstrated knowledge base alone wouldn't have gotten him out of high school, back "in the day" as it were. In fact, he makes so many errors of fact, it's easy to mistake another one of his factual errors for yet another of his lies. *shrugs* At the level someone in his position should be able to operate, it should be easier to at least distinguish when he's lying or just being stupid.

Since Harry Reid can now make accusations based on "the word is", and rumors that he started, and the Democratic (the socialist side ) doesn't mind these loose conclusions, then it must be true.

I know what I'm talking about; I went to an expensive college in NY, many of the students were pandered young adults wasting mommy/daddies money and others who were more deserving spots.

"A study by two Princeton sociologists has found that students admitted to colleges primarily because of their legacy status are more likely to face academic difficulty than students admitted primarily because they are athletes or members of ethnic minorities."

"Legacy students whose SAT scores are below the average scores of their peers earn consistently lower grade point averages in college—a phenomenon not experienced by minorities or athletes, according to the study."

I guess Obama wasn't part of that study. Let him show his grades since people like you are so confident that he did great! Where's the fantastic thesis? Surely he wrote something so incredibly spectacular to be treated so special than any other presidential candidate, or president.

Yeah; I presented my facts already about Legacy admissions pertaining to KingdomNow comment. You can go on a witch hunt and bicker about Obama's college record; I'm not. The fact is, AA admissions "HAVE TO," at least meet the minimum requirements, Legacy students don't.

Just as I thought. Did it ever occur to you that he is a "legacy" student?! If his grades were great- unseal them. As Harry Reid put it, "let him prove me wrong".

You didn't see anything. From your comments it seems likely that you've never seen the inside of a college classroom, but assuming your family had some connections and got you in anyway, you would not even have any way of knowing which students were admitted under affirmative action and which were not. They don't make affirmative action students wear a yellow star pinned to their clothes, you know.

ProudPr... to KingdomNow 2012/08/02 22:34:39

No, you haven't. Putting aside the fact that President Obama was certainly NOT an affirmative action student, the fact is that without much effort you can find dozens of studies that confirm that Affirmative Action students on average work a lot harder in college because they feel the need to prove that they belong in the school in the first place. Someone like Romney or Bush could skip all the classes they wanted to since they know that all they have to do is make a donation to the school and they'll get their diploma. But real students EARN their degrees, as President Obama did.

Apparently you didn't read his book and how he spent a great deal of time at his first college. If you have no clue about how they are CHEATING mInorities out of good educations by lowering expectations and standards on tests in high school, with no regard to how it will effect them in college, then I highly suggest you do some research on the matter. There have been documented cases of people not even being able to read, passing college classes because of sports.

Of course, this is a lie. Limbaugh said no such thing, though he certainly would given that it has no factual basis and runs completely contrary to obvious reality. But, if it had come from Limbaugh there's at least a 99.999% chance that it's complete bullsh*t, not to mention that Harvard Law School does not "cover" for nonperforming students, or that no one who is not among the top students makes Harvard Law Review, or that you don't graduate Magna Cum Laude (within the top 10% of the class) without demonstrating your superior abilities, or the fact that the President demonstrates with just about every speech he makes that he is the most intelligent man to ever hold the office of the President.

Besides, no one still listens to Limbaugh anyway (as if they ever did).

Too bad he doesn't know when to call a tax a tax, and you all are gullible enough to think somehow he still looks smart after the supreme court called it a tax! And the bill was presented in Congress as " not a tax"- the ONLY way they could collect it? And none of you are the slightest bit worried about how this will be funded since a HUGE chunk of funding was removed by the Supreme Court? It'll be interesting if/when he doesn't have to do anything for show anymore, and he decides to start doing things that you all didn't think he would. But it was infront of you the entire time. He WILL tax the middle class to pay for the health care bill. He HAS to. If any of you were realists you'd ask yourselves why Mr. Genius didn't "tax the rich" in year 1 or 2 w/ his Super Majority in Congress- IF it were a. "real solution"....or reform tax law? BECAUSE DEMS STILL WOULDN'T have passed it. They would have lost elections! Worse than they did! Face it, Obama's Rhetoric, is a big mind game you all are foolish enough to nibble on. Taxing the rich is not the answer, reforming loop holes & entitlement programs is. You just don't care about the country enough to see his lack of experience and leadership, makes Lyndon Johnson passing civil rights look like a walk in the park.

There has never been any complaint lodged against either the President or the First Lady in connection with their respective law licenses. Each of them chose to voluntarily place their law licenses on "voluntarily inactive" status when they became involved in the public sector (just as many attorneys, including Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, have also done), but neither of them ever had any complaint of any kind lodged against them.

Try visiting the real world some time.

No, your link just goes to yet another Right Wing hate blog that makes all sorts of claims without any actual reality to back it up. To the extent that it contains any actual "allegations" it seems to boil down to "Obama admits he used drugs when he was younger, long before he was admitted to the Illinois Bar, and even though no charges were ever filed against him that means he must have lied on his bar application when he TRUTHFULLY stated that he had never been accused of a crime." Oh yeah, and he may have had a few unpaid parking tickets.

Q: Did Barack and Michelle Obama “surrender” their law licenses to avoid ethics charges?

A: No. A court official confirms that no public disciplinary proceeding has ever been brought against either of them, contrary to a false Internet rumor. By voluntarily inactivating their licenses, they avoid a requirement to take continuing education classes and pay hundreds of dollars in annual fees. Both could practice law again if they chose to do so.
