Donald Trump implied, in yet another recent interview, that President Obama had been a poor student who did not deserve to be admitted to the Ivy League universities he attended. While this is an accepted, unspoken fact, Trump, who is pretending to mull over a run at the GOP Presidential nomination in 2012, offered no proof for his claim, other than the fact that it would generate a lot of media coverage for his tedious reality show.

“I heard he was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?” Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I’m thinking about it, I’m certainly looking into it. Let him show his records.”

Records, indeed.

President Obama was given a diploma from Columbia University in 1983, where he Majored in Political Science with a Minor in the Science of the Free Throw, after transferring from Occidental College in California, where he had been majoring in The History of Black Anger with a Minor in Ancient Basket Weaving. Mr. Obama was then led by the hand to Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum token in 1991. While at Harvard,  Mr. Obama was elected by universal acclaim to be the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, thus alleviating decades of White Liberal angst at the university.

But I digress.

Obama’s 2008 campaign refused to disclose his college transcripts or anything else from Mr. Obama’s past for that matter. Mr. Obama’s ghostwriter for his best-selling memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” wrote that the President hadn’t always been on the academic fast track. In his interview with the Associated Press, Trump also spoke to the obvious, that Mr. Obama’s refusal to release his college grades or anything else was part of a pattern of deception that was endemic in the Obama administration.

“I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can’t get into Harvard,” Trump said. “We don’t know a thing about this guy. There are a lot of questions that are unanswered about our president.”

Katie Hogan, a spokeswoman for Obama’s re-election campaign, after a mild stammering episode, which involved a small amount of drooling and eye twitching, refused comment and fled the room in tears.

‘The Donald’, as his many ex-wives and mistresses refer to him, is an occasionally wealthy businessman and unrealistic reality TV host, who has parlayed a bland sit down piece on The View into a make believe Presidential campaign. Trump’s primary fuel to the top of the current polls has been his call to see Mr. Obama’s birth certificate. Though ‘The Donald’ has not indicated in subsequent interviews what he would do if he saw Mr. Obama’s birth certificate.

“I have more people that are excited about the fact that I reinvigorated this whole issue,” Trump said, adding “the last guy (Obama) wants to run against is Donald Trump.”

Actually, I believe that President Obama would love nothing better than to run against ‘The Donald’. Even an amateur, under experienced and over hyped political naïf, as Barack Obama would serve Mr. Trump his lunch before breakfast in a Presidential contest. I have no doubt that in those late night campaign strategy sessions in the White House steam room, after several hours of hitting the hoops and fouling each other, Barack and his  inner circle  simply salivate over eating ‘The Donald’ for breakfast.
