What's with Obama's undergraduate transcripts? I was at my
periodontist today and she was on and on about "what is he hiding?" Whether I keep going to this peridontist is not the issue-why is the campaign allowing these questions to be raised? Does anyone know?

1. I didn't know anyone asked for them. Who cares?
Tell the receptionist McCain's medical records are a much bigger deal.

2. Cause he got really really bad grades, obviously...
...which is why he got to Harvard and became President of its Law Review. Duh. Everyone knows that Harvard is for losers.

14. Yeah...and he got into Harvard without connections.
BTW...having looked for Palins records I found out that grades and such are private.

3. It's just a reaction to Failin's unreleased transcripts, since there are no graduate records
of her anywhere...

4. I have a feeling Harvard had a look at them
before accepting him.

If he's digging this deep, it's a good thing.

Ask about McCain's medical records next time.

10. Thanks!!

I love your picture. Now when I drive by this rediculous church 6 times a day I can laugh instead of vomit a little in my mouth.

5. Yes. It's amazing. He flunked half his courses but Harvard Law still took him.

7. If you do go back, you might ask her about
HER undergrad transcripts. Tell her you want to make sure she is smart enough to be your periodontist, and the mere fact that she was admitted and graduated from dental school is not enough.

And ask her the origin of her middle name.Just for yuks.

11. Excellent idea. I think I will take a copy of mine, so she can
decide whether I am smart enough for her to put her hands in my mouth. She may still vote for Obama, in which case the issue is moot.

I scheduled my next appointment for January 22, 2009.

8. I think the implication is that he got into Harvard Law by
affirmative action.

Obviously, this is a dangerous game for McCain people to be playing, since he would never have gotten near Annapolis if his daddy wasn't an Admiral.

9. Also, there is no way George Bush would have gotten into
Yale or Harvard MBA program without his father and grandfather's legacy admission exception.

13. He's hiding them because he failed every class.
That's how he got to be President of the Harvard Law Review, after all.

Jesus people are fucktarded.

15. Obama said once that one of his favorite movies was "The Contender"
Which leads me to think that he simply thinks these transcripts are private. As others have pointed out, he got into Harvard, so that should be enough to show the transcripts were good.
