Looks Like Trump's Right: How the Hell Did This President Get Into Those Ivy League Schools?
"The dean looked over Barack's transcript and college boards and then suggested in a kindly way that he apply to some less competitive colleges in addition to Columbia."

- "There were no class rankings at his high school, but Barack never made honor roll even one term, unlike 110 boys in his class."

- "His SAT scores were 566 for the verbal part and 640 for math. Those were far below the median scores for students admitted to his class at Columbia: 668 verbal and 718 math."

- "At Columbia, Barack Obama distinguished himself primarily as a hard partier, and he managed to be detained by police twice during his university years: once for stealing a Christmas wreath as a fraternity prank and once for trying to tear down the goalposts during a football game at Princeton."

3. How much did daddy have to donate to get Trump into college?
How much did he have to bribe the professors to pass him? Those are the questions I'd like to know.

9. Yep, there is no other explanation for Dubya getting into an Ivy
League school. He was definitely a "legacy" student

5. Please consider putting this on your facebook if you like it.
It's important that people understand that the very same people who are "concerned" about Obama's college transcripts are the same people who voted for Bush!

to repeat it.

and that won't happen.

we all remember how Bush's National Guard AWOL was treated by the press, protect the white cottage cheese ass at all costs.

15. The comment section is comedy gold
Every bad stereotype (and I mean every last one) that you have in mind for the racists is on display, proudly, loudly, without apology or exception.

Is my guess correct?

20. I was kinda hoping that some corporate nooze person would mention Dubya
when discussing The Chump's latest accusation. So far I haven't heard anyone on the teevee bring up Junior's legacy admissions, nor his "gentleman's Cs."

Rec'd.

25. There must be a typo, there's no way in hell that W got
566 on the verbal part of the SATs. Probably a 56.

38. Back in the day, it was easy to get someone else to take the SATs for you.
When I was young (and I'm younger than Cheney's Fluffer), our ID for SATs was a driver's license, which was a piece of paper, not a laminated card with a photo. Poor students were sometimes known to pay better students to take the SATs in their name.

JMO, but I've always thought that Bush had to have hired someone to get him respectable scores.

Those SAT scores seemed way too high for a person of his mental calibre.
