Obama's father forced out at Harvard
   
I know, it's from politico, and I'm sure the new talking point for the repubs..... UGH..... 

President Barack Obama’s father was forced to leave Harvard University before completing his Ph.D. in economics because the school was concerned about his personal life and finances, according to newly public immigration records.(snip) Blah blah bladdity blah....

Big deal it's just his daddy, move along....

1. who cares
   
The only thing I get from this story is I'm impressed Obama had a father who was accepted at Harvard. This is a non-story and I'm surprised it was even published.

2. I'm glad I'm not responsible for the things my father did.
   
nor should anyone else be held accountable for their parents.

3. I don't see how it impacts Obama Jr in any way.
   
First, he left in 1964. If he was a ne'er do well, it has nothing to do with his baby son.
Unless of course people really do believe in "sins of the father".

The only people who look bad are the INS and maybe Harvard, although they say there are no records of this action.

32. This is a nonissue.
   
It concerns Obama's father, not Obama himself.. Obama did graduate from Harvard, and with honors. Of course, the righties will take this and run with it, now that their birther argument has been destroyed.. anything to discredit Obama..

But they just can't resist can they

Remind everyone how Joe Kennedy made his money and lost his ambassadorship to the UK.
