Harvard Hypocrites And Obama's Father

Hypocrites.
What other word could you possibly use to describe that Harvard gang?
Well, no one ever went to the Ivy League looking for candor. No way. Not then --when Obama's father was a Harvard student. And not now -- when the school produces cutthroat upstarts like Mark Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss Twins.
Anyway, turns out that in the 1960s Harvard wanted the elder Obama out because he had apparently come to be somewhat of an embarrassment to the ivy-entrenched establishment crowd. A newly-released memo (one that Harvard tried to suppress) says that Harvard officials  “were 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,” the memo states.
In 1964, David D. Henry, director of Harvard’s international office, wrote to Obama Sr. to try to force him out of Harvard.
“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,” Henry’s letter stated.
And so, Obama's father was forced out and never completed his Phd.
Harvard issued a statement Friday saying that it could not find in its own records anything to support the accounts.
Top which I say b-a-l-o-n-e-y!
The liberal elites who run Harvard and other Ivy League schools are hardly models of integrity. They weren't then. They aren't now.
This is not to defend Obama Sr. He should have had his finances in order and he should have been more candid with women he was dating (one of whom he married) while he was still married to someone else.
But at the very least, Harvard could have leveled with this guy.
Shame on 'em!
