Post #349,714 by Another Scott 10/27/11 10:13:42 AM Reply	Spouting pablum in a column isn't a "record". Or at least not much of one. Obama has a voting record in the IL Senate and US Senate. He's written 2 books on his life and been subject of several others. There have been major stories about his life, votes, and policies in major newspapers and magazines. He's given long interviews. He's got extensive Wikipedia pages, too. He's been quite open. How are his college grades relevant to anything? Cheers, Scott.
Post #349,720 by beepster 10/27/11 11:16:27 AM Reply	Apparently college grades are important as much was made about Bush and Perry's grades...among others. I guess it just doesn't count when your chosen. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
Post #349,721 by Another Scott 10/27/11 11:29:23 AM Reply	In what way, Charlie? Don't confuse the number of times a talking point is repeated with actual importance. Bush's grades were part of a piece of the way he talked and the way he attacked the job of president, e.g., http://www.slate.com...d_man.single.html Did his grades tell us anything different about the way he did his job? Obama's college grades would tell us what, exactly, about him or the way he does his job? Cheers, Scott.
Post #349,723 by beepster 10/27/11 11:35:20 AM Reply	Considering the current reports that he has closed himself off...I'd say right now they would be particularly relevant and important. And I really don't expect anything from you except that you will jump to his defense. Regardless of what has been done to others in equal or near position. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Post #349,727 by crazy 10/27/11 11:55:54 AM Reply	I'll tell you why people care one way or the other Bush II seemed both STUPID and LAZY. And people really wanted to know how the hell he got though his college years. People look at Obama, his history, his books, his accomplishments (that were not driven by a rich connected daddy) and easily see the intelligence. So those for him know it doesn't matter, and those against him are scared, so they'll try to pick apart anything they can. Sorry. Non issue unless you are looking for some type of smoking gun. If I was him I'd limit it too. Why give the wacko something to pick apart while you were in college? He's already done the job, judge him on that.
Post #349,730 by lincoln 10/27/11 12:10:59 PM Reply	You mean like how his long form birth certificate was relevant? Hawaii released the short form, legally good enough to get a US passport. Unacceptable to the Tea Party and wingnut RepubliCANTs. Then Obama releases the long form birth certificate - and it's *STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH*. Hell, just this week Gov. Goodhair was talking to The Donald and then was quoted in an interview that he's still not certain that Obama is really a US citizen. In other words, he's continuing to pander to the stupid people who support the RepubliCANT Party and will do anything to de-legitimize Obama's presidency. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Post #349,804 by lincoln 10/28/11 1:44:08 PM Reply	If obama never released the long form would the RepubliCANTS and Teabaggers ever have stopped their incessant whining about demanding proof that he was born in the USA? Not a fucking chance! "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ...

Post #349,722 by crazy 10/27/11 11:33:05 AM Reply	I had this discussion last night concerning college grades. Study for a 95 or coast for an 82. The general consensus is that it is very rare for any employer to care what your grades were. Did you get the degree or not? Coast is the preferred method, and anything past that should be reserved for your core courses.
Post #349,724 by beepster 10/27/11 11:38:11 AM 10/27/11 11:38:38 AM Reply	Re: I had this discussion last night concerning college grad I've worked for several employers where GPA was a factor in calculating your opening salary. Guys with 3.5 make more than guys with 3.0. Its an indicator of work ethic. So I must work for rare companies. However, I think you underestimate what employers think of grades. In later career, I agree, it is less important. Initial employment, its all they've got. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are. Edited by beepster Oct. 27, 2011, 11:38:38 AM EDT Expand All History
Post #349,726 by crazy 10/27/11 11:50:50 AM Reply	Yes and no I agree it could be an indicator of work ethic. But it could also be an indicator of time optimization. As far as job capabilities, depends if core courses or not. As far as using it for offering salary, hey, corporate culture does a lot of stupid things. It stand in for someone actually doing a detail interview and judging the value of the individual. It lets HR apply a formula. So if you want to play the game, and you find yourself applying to these types of companies, then deal with it. But I've never worked for a company that did this, and I've been part of the hiring process for about 25 years in 7 companies, not little ones usually. I've easily interviewed hundreds and offered about 30 positions, or approved for another department to hire them. Not once did we care about GPA.
