Their Convention

The Democrat National Convention in a nutshell: We're good people, the Republicans are not. We're for poor people, they are for rich people. That's because they are all rich, most of them born that way, all selfishly wanting to stay that way, and none of them the least bit appreciative of all the good things that their government benevolently builds for them, such as roads, bridges and schools, with money that government just had sitting around. Republicans do not seem to comprehend all the good things that government could do, if only we’d let them, using money from somewhere. They are mean, and while we never called them racists, bigots, or homophobic out loud, we're pretty sure you got that message too. Obama is a really good guy, a wonderful husband and likely the most perfect father ever. He is actually very warm and caring, and totally unlike the cool, aloof persona he projects. He had an underprivileged upbringing and was raised by his single mom.

Except he wasn't; he was raised by his grandparents and attended only the best schools. He attended Punahou School in Hawaii, an elite college prep school. From there, he went to Occidental College, then Columbia and Harvard. We’re not exactly sure how he gained entrance to Columbia or Harvard because despite their prominent place on his resume, he has sealed all records from both institutions. Al Gore and G.W. Bush both released there college transcripts even though they were both C students. But you cannot see what classes BHO took, what grades he got, or more significantly, how he got in and paid for it. The irony here is that I’d bet anybody $10,000 that if a person received preferential treatment, or extraordinary, undue credit because of their status and race, it was Barack Obama and not the rich, white Mitt Romney. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the thing he is really hiding here is that he received financial aid as a foreign student. I’m not promoting any birther conspiracies, but it is certainly believable that the then Barry Settoro was simply gaming the system to get his school paid for, just believing this little detail would get lost in the weeds and never imagining that it would add fuel to the born-elsewhere theories.
