发帖数: 29846 | 1 Barack Obama's Columbia GPA Ferreted Out By The Daily Caller Via Random Guy
From The Interwebs
Go ahead and give Mitt Romney all of your unskewed Electoral College votes,
folks, because The Daily Caller has done changed the game with their recent
report that President Barack Obama earned a mediocre grade point average at
Columbia University, according to some random anonymous guy that they met on
Chatroulette, or something.
According to the Daily Caller's source, who we are assured is a "wealthy
donor" to Columbia (thus ruling out all of Columbia's poverty-stricken
donors), Obama's GPA was scandalously middling, probably:
In 2004, after Obama’s successful speech at that year’s Democratic
convention, a Columbia University official told him Barack Obama's GPA, he
explained to TheDC.
"This person told me that he [Obama] was a pre-law, poli-sci major, had
a lot of incompletes, and as best could be determined after sorting through
the incompletes, had a GPA of 2.6," said the businessman, a former Marine
Corps combat veteran.
Cool story, guys. I say we just confirm this sucker, assure readers that
there isn't any contradictory evidence, find a way to make a larger point
about Obama's stay at Columbia and we can wrap this up with a bow.
They add that "The 2.6 grade can’t be confirmed, is contradicted by some
evidence, and it doesn't say anything about the courses, professors and
associations Obama was immersed in during his two-year stay in Columbia."
Ah well, you know the whole nature of journalism is different now that we're
all huffing spray paint, I guess.
At any rate, the jury is still out as to whether this is going to reshape
the presidential campaign in its last 96 hours. Clearly, there is much more
to learn about this Barack Obama fellow than can be gleaned from his policy
preferences, speeches, debate responses, campaign website, widely available
plans, interviews and the many books that have been written about the things
that happened during his first term.
So if you are a random person who has heard something -- anything, no matter
how unbelievable or made-up sounding -- about Barack Obama, just email me
and I'll report it while protecting your anonymity. Right off the bat, I
need someone to confirm the rumor that the honorary degree that Obama
received from the University of Michigan was printed on rolling papers. (
Just send me an email with the subject line, "The Honorary Degree That Obama
Received From The University Of Michigan Was Totally Printed On Rolling
Papers," that reads, "I can confirm this, but I can't say anything more. I'm
in too deep!")
Time is running out! In fact, it's running out so fast that I hear Barack
Obama is going to cancel the daylight savings time adjustment scheduled for
this weekend by executive order just so all of you don't have that extra
hour to send me your weird emails. So hurry! |
