[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure, but I think this is the kid that ivies want. They want Barrack Obama at 16-years-old, not a lot of SAT tutoring or curating, with an organically developed passion for community activism. Only they would've wanted him with a 4.0. Not sure what his actual GPA was at the time but pretty sure it wasn't a 4.0.[/quote]

Obama went to THE most elite private high in Hawaii.  They don’t give out As easily, I am pretty sure he didn’t have 4.0.  Most likely no one at his school had 4.0.

I don’t think he was a community activist back in high school. He was raised by his white grandparents.

And college admissions were much much easier at his time.  Just different times.[/quote]

Obama started at Occidental, which likely had close to 100% admit rate in the 1980s.

He then transferred to Columbia, which had a 65% admit rate for freshmen in the 1980s - so the transfer smit rate must have been much higher. Few kids wanted to go to Columbia when the neighborhood was such a mess.

So now we're insulting Obama's intelligence? Really? You are a blithering idiot. The amount of mental contortions you had to go through to even try to make that argument is unbelievable.

The idiots are running this country and have brainwashed the masses. Next thing we will hear is that Donald Trump is a morally upstanding human being (which of course will be pivoted to some comment about how bad Biden is - because that is how Fox News tells you to respond).

How about this rule going forward - no comments insulting Democrats without first ignoring some flaw in Trump. Even if it is his penmanship. Otherwise you have zero credibility. Not that you care.

But of course I will just get a snarky response. Because that is all MAGA is capable of. Trying to own the libs. Biden tried so hard to be nice despite constant garbage. Trump is a snarling fat pathetic angry impotent rapist loser who wants to bang his daughter.[/quote]
