Where in that article is is cited that he had a 3.3 GPA?[/quote]

Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983 with a degree in political science. At Columbia in 1983, you needed a GPA of 3.3 or higher to with honors.  He did not graduate with honors, which means his GPA was between a 2.0 and a 3.3.

[b]More astonishing is that you did not know this, but then again you live no doubt in a progressive bubble free from the interference of fair and balanced reporting.[/b]

That said, I have no doubt that he his [u]very[/u] intelligent, plus he has the charisma etc required of a leader. That's not the point of this discussion.  The point here is that without the preferences being discussed above, he never would have gotten into the schools he graduated from. [/quote]

First, please provide your citation for his graduation without honors.

Second, [b][i]even if that is true[/i][/b], it does not mean his GPA was that as he was a transfer student.  Transfer students are frequently not given honors designations if they did not take all of their classes at the institution issuing the degree.  (This is not a theory, it happened to my wife with a GPA above 3.9 at a state directional, because she had taken half her classes elsewhere). More astonishing is that you did not know this, but then again you live no doubt in a conservative bubble free from the interference of facts.

And yes, the above explanation might even apply to why the current president did not receive honors designation at Penn since he transferred there from Fordham.

Facts are good. Assumptions are bad. Being an anonymous, condescending person free of facts and full of assumptions is the royal flush of BS.[/quote]

He is quoting Breitbart, if you google breitbar Obama gpa  you can find the article.

Obama's actual GPA was 3.7. [/quote]
