Obama hiding college course records raising suspicions?
While former candidates for president released their college grades and records, including George Bush, Al Gore and John Kerry, Barack Obama has insisted on keeping his secret. The question being asked is why?
Bush, Gore and Kerry all had mediocre grades but that did not deter them from making their college records available to voters. So is there something in Obama's records that he does not want the public to see?
One theory is his college transcripts may show that it contains evidence of the radical curriculum he followed and which far-left professors influenced him. Although he could not hide that he had sat and listened to the anti-white and anti-American sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, he was able to use his oratory skills to distract the voters.
Since Obama's response to the Sgt. James Cowley and Henry Louis Gates Jr. fiasco caused a shock wave among some Americans, black and white, questions that remained unanswered during the presidential campaign may now cause the few journalists that remain in the United States to begin doing the investigative work that should have been done in 2007 and 2008. The year 2009 may be a wake-up call that there is something in those academic records that will cause the public to look at Obama with more critical eyes.
Questions now being explored by a some investigative citizen journalist are:
- If there is nothing in those records that would taint the persona of Obama, why are they not available to the press and the public?
-
- Would they reveal an aspect of him that was perceived by the public that may have prevented him from attaining the presidency?
-
- Would they give the public insight into the Harvard indoctrination that influenced Obama during his time as a community organizer?
Obama's behavior and that of his administration has made the public look at him more critically during three racially-tinged events:
- His "stupidity" and "racial profiling" remarks in response to a reporter's question about the Crowley/Gates situation.
-
- The release of a Black Panther who had intimidated voters using a billy club by a political appointee after a judgement against the man had already been handed down.

- The dismissal of the Inspector General Gerald Walpin after he investigated irregularities at St. Hope, which was headed by his friend Kevin Johnson, and discovered that federal money had been used to pad staff salaries, meddle politically in a school-board election, and have AmeriCorps members perform personal services for Mr. Johnson, including washing his car.

If Obama wants to quiet those asking about his academic records, all he has to do is release them so that the press and public can see them and judge for themselves.
