    I was simply flabbergasted by this caller who stated that Obama's grades/thesis was of no importance to us. I disagree. On a historical aspect, everything about the president's past as well as his grades and thesis he wrote is of the upmost importance. It is paramount that we see them for it will establish to us what kind of mindset Obama had as a youth. That mindset shaped who he is and right now we need to vet his college years. Saying he graduated 'Magna Cum Laud' from Harvard is not enough. I agree with Dr. Savage and he brings up a good question to the multi millions of his viewers across America......Why all the mystery surrounding Barack Obama?

    Nice find! I might have to start listening to him more often. I wasn't aware that he was the ONLY president who hasn't released his grades.

    It doesn't surprise me though!

    One tiny nugget for every 2 hours of self-promotion to poop up book sales.

    Savage is a whore.

    Dr. Savage also makes a good point about the issue of Obama's admissions, thesis and grades. Wouldn't you agree?

    Can you tell me the subject of one thesis by any President throughout history or their grades without googling?

    That's about how important it is lol.

    And Savage is an idiot.

    Harvard, Gore Deny Leaking Grades
    By ZACHARY R. HEINEMAN, CRIMSON STAFF WRITER
    Published: Tuesday, March 21, 2000

    The Washington Post published the Harvard grades of Vice President Al Gore '69 in addition to his grades from high school and law school on Sunday, but sources within the Gore campaign and Harvard's registrar's office said they were not responsible for leaking the information.

    The White House press office said Gore played no role in the transcripts' release and had no prior knowledge of it.

    David Marannis, the presidential historian who wrote the story for the Post on Sunday, agreed that Gore was not his source.

    "I can't say where they came from, but they didn't come directly from Gore," Marannis said.

    Marannis also said he had not gotten the transcripts directly from Harvard or any of the other schools Gore attended.

    . According to the Post, Gore earned "one D, one C-minus, two C's, two C-pluses, and one B-minus," during his sophomore year at Harvard. His classmates remember him that year as spending a lot of time "shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers, and occasionally smoking marijuana."


    However, his junior year, he earned a B, B-plus and A-minus in three government courses.

    His strong senior thesis on the impact of television on the presidency allowed him to graduate cum laude.


    Before coming to Harvard, Gore graduated from St. Albans in Washington, D.C. ranked 25th in a class of 51. There, he had three straight years of C's in French, although he did receive four years of straight A's in art.

    According to the Post, Gore's SATs were a strong 1355 (625 verbal, 730 math) as compared to Texas Gov. George W. Bush's 1206 (566 verbal, 640 math). On IQ tests taken in 1961 and 1964, his freshman and senior years in high school, Gore scored 133 and 134--well above average.


    "This just proves that many of the preconceived notions of Al Gore have been stiff and boring," said Gore Press Secretary Chris Lehane to the Post. "He in fact has a very rich and well-rounded background--artist, athlete, and academic."

    Gore campaign spokesperson Doug Hataway said that Gore had not made the transcripts available in any way.

    "The vice president did not release his grades for that story, we're not sure how they got them, as far we know the school did not release them either, so it's a bit of a mystery, but he did not release his grades," Hataway said.

    The Post article refers also to Newsweek writer Bill Turque, who obtained Gore's transcripts independently from the Post and published some of Gore's grades in the recent unauthorized biography, Inventing Al Gore.

    The book has been available for three weeks in major cities, but review copies had been floating around the Washington Post as early as January, Turque said. The book will become available nationally on Thursday.

    Turque said he does not feel that Gore's right to privacy has been violated by the publication of his grades.

    "If you're running for president, the rules are much different," Turque said. "I think people have a right to know."

    Marannis agreed.

    "There is a distinction between running for president and being a regular person," said Marannis, who has written a biography of President Clinton and said he will probably turn his eight-part Post series on Gore into a book
    .

    Registrar Arlene Becella said Gore's transcripts could not have come from her office unless their release was authorized by Gore.

    "We would never release his grades, nor yours, nor anyone else's," she said.

    The registrar's office must follow Family Education Rights Protection Act, which prevents schools from making transcripts available without the student's consent, she said.

    "Most people here don't have access to his records," Becella said. "Maybe two or three people."

    Has Harvard ever contested Obama's claim that he graduated with honors? No, of course not. Because it's true.

    Move on to the next stupid anti-Obama conspiracy.

    When George Bush was president I could tell you because his grades were widely known and discussed.

    Now Obama is president and we want to know what his grades were at Columbia and Harvard.

    Who is "we?" I certainly haven't heard any news stories about the majority of Americans clamoring for his transcript.

    News stories in the pro Obama lib news media?

    Neither have I.

    But they are all dedicated to the re-election of their fuhrer so don't look to them for reliable reporting.

    You haven't answered my question. Who are "we" other than a few cranks and conspiracy nuts, among whom I count people like Savage and his brother in idiocy Alex Jones.

    "we" are the millions of Americans who do not have a blog or a show on TV or radio but nonetheless can't believe that Obama is the best that Harvard has to offer.

    It's a simple question an no lib can answer it. Why do why know so much about Bush in his early years, among other presidents, yet Obama s is sort of hidden. Every question is met with a hidden agenda or simply, you don't need to know. Why? Why can't people know. What's there to hide? And when info is revealed, the answers are difficult to prove? Why?

    Why was Bush s life so easily revealed, yet Obamas is a puzzle?

    As a sidenote did you know that the Eric Segal Movie - Love Story - which was made
    into a movie before the novel was written.That would be 1970.And that Tommy Lee Jones had
    a small role as a fellow harvardy and roommate.
    In real Life Jones was roomates with Al Gore at Harvard.

    because those mentioned are Good Patriots.The sad fact is that we have a lot
    of Pac Man/Dungeons & Dragons heads now able to vote.And they have not an
    inkling as to what being a Patriot means.
    It means standing by what the Founders intended and abiding the Constitution.
    It's what seperates us from a Banana Republic which is where we're headed Pal.
    Or dint ya git the memo ... Yet !

    Yeah, even the infamous liberal Dan Rather of NBC News got permanently banned and disgraced for slandering George Bush.

    Of course the MSM that is in the bag for Obama wouldn't pursue it.

    Rather was fired because though the information was correct, the source wasn't.

    As for the "C" student himself, his fans have no room to question his successor's academic credentials

    It is not surprising how the Obama Defense Syndrome (ODS) will excuse Obama for anything and everything.
