Interesting article. Here's the main passage:

---------

The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn't add up.

Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed?

Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have to maintain good grades?

I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.

Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.

If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:

A) He rarely ever attended class.

B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.

C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.

D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.

    He bamboozled us...He's no scholar, if he were, he'd be proud of it, and prove to us he worked hard to earn his grades....WAIT..HE DIDN'T EARN HIS GRADES! Somebody else must have done that for him.

    Okay, I will.

    Then maybe you can call Harry Reid, The Zero's little attack puppy in the Senate, and tell him to do the same thing:

    Reid, Harry - (D - NV)

    FYI
    Bush/Gore Grades and SAT Scores (posted March 23, 2000)

    (Updated June 17, 2005)
    Confidential college transcripts and test scores obtained by the Washington Post reveal that neither presidential candidate, George W. Bush nor Al Gore, were shining students during their college days at Yale and Harvard, respectively. Although each earned respectable scores on the SAT college admissions test (a total of 1355 of 1600 for Gore and 1206 for Bush), neither did that well in their college courses. Both earned a mix of B and C grades. Gore's lowest grade of D came in a natural sciences course, while his top grades were an A in French and English, an A in Visual and Environmental Studies, and an A- in Social Relations. Bush's lowest marks were a 70 (of 100) in Sociology and a 71 in Economics, while his highest scores were High Passes in History and Japanese.

    In 2005, the Boston Globe obtained comparable information on John Kerry's undergraduate record at Yale. It shows that Kerry had a cumulate grade average of 76 over

    four years in school. His freshman year average was 71 and his senior year average was 81.

    Well, the demorats and liberals have just set themselves up for something else to blow up in their face. The internet trash compactor known as Huffington Post is recycling a Boston Globe article in which Romneys High School report card was released. Hmmmmm.....evidently they believe that Romney's high school report card is of some importance when considering a persons qualification for president but not Obama's college transcripts. Obama touted himself as some sort of scholastic legal and constitutional scholar but isn't required to offer any proof. But hey, gotta get those priorities straight don't we?

    After all, knowing how Romney did in Art Class and French Class in the 9th grade is definitely more important than knowing about Obama's law class grades and any papers he may have written expressing his Marxist / Socialist view isn't it?
