“Last week, a website that already had offered a $10,000 reward for Obama’s transcripts from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School, increased the bounty to $20,000,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

It’s part of a shift in emphasis from some Obama-haters from questioning the president’s birth to his intellect and grades in college. Donald Trump is among the conservatives questioning Obama’s academic achievements, despite the president rising to the presidency of the law review while at Harvard.
