So he got in based on his qualifications alone. Unlike McCain... Who not only didn't get into Havard, but finished 5th from last at the Naval Academy. And unlike Obama we know this. Notice that with McCain they find people going back to grade school who talk freely about him, people know where he has stood since he was a kid. With Obama his career seems to start when he got elected Senator You haven't been paying attention, there was a documentary on CNN and an extensive article in Time, just two places I know of where his life story is explored in detail. If you don't know Obama's history by now, not only haven't you been paying attention, but going to extremes to avoid exposure to it. OTOH, to make this more aviation-related, I'd be curious as to whether you would fly with McCain? http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...,0,7633315.sto ry http://www.rollingstone.com/news/cov...rick_the_real_ john_mccain I know I wouldn't. He doesn't seem to have changed his attitude much, so, "putting country first", I wouldn't recommend anything for the country that I wouldn't do myself. -- Neil |

It seems obvious you dislike Fox News, this is fine with me, but don't make things up or read things into what was actually said to support your bias. Well, obviously you must really be that inane. In both instances I provided, they did not say "regardless of ethnicity, age, sex or social status of the borrower", they clearly blamed minorities. Do you always need such simple things explained to you, Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired? |

First, you claimed what you could not possibly have known which was, "Fox news never said anything of the kind." Then, I clearly showed they DID say something very much in "kind" by not just one but two examples. Not "verbatim", or whatever else you wanted to claim later, Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired. Your words. So if you want to act dumb (perhaps you weren't acting), then you shouldn't feel insulted if I treat you that way, no? |

Why is it important to see Obama's college records? Because the media has created fantasies around Obama on every issue. You should start dispelling them with the easiest one, i.e. the fantasy of Obama's "academic degrees and honors". Obama has been fighting desperately to block all access to his college records. Even his public "thesis" at Columbia mysteriously disappeared. The media just swallowed the official Obama's "academic degrees and honors" without checking his actual grades, his scores on standardized tests, his academic writings if any, etc. All the decisions to admit Obama to colleges, to give him "academic degrees and honors" were made by a few unknown individuals. Read about the racial turmoil at one college where he got his "academic honors". The race tensions seem to follow Obama wherever he goes. If Obama's college records fail to meet the requirements for legitimate academic degrees and honors then Obama will be declared an academic fraud. Maybe then the media will start vetting Obama on other issues. Then we will be able to address the biggest fantasies like Obama's "ability to solve" the financial crisis which requires making executive decisions. Obama never made a single real executive decision in his life! How will Obama be able to attract quality people if he has a long history of attracting and being attracted to the worst kind? Any Hollywood actor can read a teleprompter and memorize talking points written by secret handlers. If Obama gets elected and turns the United States into a war-torn country like Kenya then his college records will mysteriously leak, but then it could be too late. I am asking everybody to request at least one major news network to make it an election issue. Ask others to do the same. Since Obama has built his political career around his "academic degrees and honors", all his college records (complete set of grades, scores on standardized tests, etc) must be released. Keep in mind that Obama's supporters have saturated media outlets and internet bandwidth for the last two years with stories of Obama's "academic degrees and honors". Now they viciously attack those who want to see Obama's grades and scores on standardized tests. You may be on to something he The U of Chicago law school is notorious for hiring dopes (dupes?) as senior lecturers. Not much for football either.
