Obama's Dad Was Thrown Out Of Harvard


Barack Obama

A report on the Politico website states, U.S. President, Barack Obama's dad, Barack Obama Sr., was thrown out of Harvard, with administrators stating in a private memo, "We're having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn't seem to figure out how many wives he had...they are planning on telling him that they will not give him any money and that he had better return to Kenya and prepare his thesis at home."

Obama Sr. was then sent a letter from Harvard informing him, "We have, therefore, come to the conclusion that you should terminate your stay in the United States and return to Kenya to carry on your research and the writing of your thesis."

In reading this information, it is perplexing why Obama Jr., went to Harvard, as the school treated his dad poorly. When I read the Politico article about what happened I laughed a little bit. No, I'm not laughing at Obama's dad. I am laughing at how world history unfolded. Harvard said, Unabomber, yes and Obama Sr., no.

The London Student Riots

Warning: video contains violence, profanity and graphic images

Rise in tuition fees sparked riots in London last week. While the increased tuition fees are regrettable, the Judiciary Report urges calm. The site is in favor of the accelerated 2-year degree, which would save money, as opposed to the 3-year degree, in addition to a reworking of finances to help students.

The newly elected Coalition government, have made great and useful budget cuts, which are setting Britain back on the right financial path. They should be commended for that. However, it is my hope some additional reviews can be made to help the students somehow. It is imperative future Britons be educated to the highest standards, as that is what they have come to expect. Britain has the best literacy rate in the world and should strive to maintain educational excellence.
