I hope you are right.

Well, he admitted to using all kinds of drugs, heavy drinking and 
partying, so why wouldn't he come out and say yeah my grades at Columbia 
sucked so I had to pull some strings to get into Harvard?

See my other post on this very thing.  That is why I kind of believe 
that it is true, based on my own experience.  I just don't understand 
the secrecy.  This is something that could easily be spun in BO's 
favor...easily.

Where did that come from?

The point is that Al-Mansour has been described by some on Fox as almost 
a civilized Bin Laden.  He's a hate monger, but he is a very polished 
hate monger who is has the ear of a lot of Saudi money.

Why would Sutton lie?
No one has denied anything.
Mostly, I guess these are allegations, but they still need to be 
investigated to make sure it is innocent.  If Sutton is telling the 
truth, then it is factual.
It would help if BO would release some information...
Check out this article talking about grades..
