Donald Trump: Obama Wasn't Qualified For Ivy League
Trump: ""I heard he was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard . . .
I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can't get into Harvard," Trump said. "We don't know a thing about this guy. There are a lot of questions that are unanswered about our president.

Obama graduated from Columbia University in New York in 1983 with a degree in political science after transferring from Occidental College in California. He went on to Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude 1991 and was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.

Obama's 2008 campaign did not release his college transcripts, and in his best-selling memoir, "Dreams From My Father," Obama indicated he hadn't always been an academic star. Trump told the AP that Obama's refusal to release his college grades were part of a pattern of concealing information about himself."

He seems to have forgotten how some of us wondered how GWB managed to get to Yale.

3. Trump is going to cross the line--he had best be careful.
He is playing with old Republican ploy --affirmative action.

Trump is really getting into racial politics of the Jesse Helms.

The Put Down. Degree does not reflect ability, only affirmative
action. First Birther now this. Watch it Trump.

5. My son's best friend attended Yale.
On an academic scholarship, out of Berkeley. He had a choice; he was accepted at both Harvard and Yale.

When you don't have connections or family money, like GWB, that's how it's done. You earn your way in.

9. Even more so at the grad schools than at the undergrad level.
I was a high school dropout who eventually got a GED and went to my home state's flagship public university in my early-mid 20s. I was the first person in my family to get a college degree. Got straight-A grades and applied to ten law schools. Got admitted to Penn, Columbia, Cornell, UCLA, USC, seveal other top schools and eventually decided to go to Harvard. Was on the wait list at none of them. Only place I didn't get in was Yale. I had an interesting story and the grades/LSAT to back it up.

10. You forget, Obama had a rich Saudi guy with terrorist connections backing him
who knew he would one day be a powerful man. Probably the same guy who arranged the born in America coverup. The plan is working out perfectly as Obama is now destroying America so Islam can set up a Caliphate here.

Can't you see! Open your eyes!

6. The Chump "heard" Obama was a terrible student.
Oh puleeze! :eyes:

Really, Chump? You "heard?" Well, you would not believe the stuff I've "heard" about you. I'm calling the national media right now....

I'm so freaking sick of hearing The Chump's babbling. He's the Gladys Kravitz of the 2012 election. All gossip; no substance.
