…off of hookers?

No WAY!

Read his book. He said he was in a drunken-stoned-out-blur during the last two years of highschool, and that he attended classes “irregularly.”

How’d he get into the Ivy League, then, if not as the Token Minority?

i think that the repubs. have dirt on him, either from his college years or other periods in his life, that will be used when and if it’s necessary.

Oh, it is necessary. Dirty pool is something that the Libs started.

They aren’t being released because more than likely, his grades were in the toilet.

He was too busy smoking a fatty. (Hey, if the left kept attacking Pres. Bush over alcoholism 25 years before his presidency, we can do the same in currnt times)

There was suppose to be some radical guy that Amanda Carpenter recently wrote about that helped get him a recommendation to get into Harvard Law School.

That Stanley must have been a very concerned, involved and devoted mother to do such a good job of keeping little Barry on the straight-and-narrow.

So, you’re saying he might not have been the swiftest…?

I bet he nailed a lot of chicks!

There is a lady columnist on our side name Carol something (Laplatte?) who went to school with Obama at Harvard.

She said at the time affirmative action was almost militant and people got on the Law Review through affirmative action. She said it was never known which minorities got on through merit and which through AA.

Seeing how Obama wants to keep his schooling private I wonder if he advanced through means other than merit and scholarship.

Cock and coke.

Allegedly.

Senator Obama’s life story, from his humble roots, to his rise to Harvard Law School, to his passion as a community organizer in Chicago, has been at the center of his presidential campaign.

Who cares about Obama’s “passion” as a community organizer? I know a liberal claims he cares more deeply than I do from the first word out of his mouth. They literally talk about nothing else.

But I have no idea what in the holy living Hell a “community organizer” IS, let alone what Obama himself personally did for a living.

Just like his buddy’s answer on a similar question:

“Memories are a motherf*er, I myself, remember nothing.” - this video, :35 to :45

A “community organizer” is a professional left-wing activist who gets the poor to confront politicians in scripted outrage to press various demands.

Obama was involved in organizing a housing project called Altgeld Gardens. According to the Boston Globe:

For all its impact on Obama, Altgeld Gardens today seems far from the kind of success story politicians like to tout.

Dozens of buildings are boarded up, with fences surrounding much of the property. The roads are a potholed mess. Blinking lights illuminate a series of towers where police have mounted cameras.

But don’t feel bad — when Obama was in college, even he had difficulty explaining what a “community organizer” did.
