Would you buy a healthcare reform plan from this kid?

Or change his college grade?

It’s been 28 years now.

But President Obama, it has been learned, still disagrees with an Occidental College professor who gave him a B on a paper during his collegiate days in Eagle Rock.

According to our blogging buddies over at L.A. Now, Roger Boesche awarded the future ex-senator a B for his adequate writing efforts about European political thought.

The fellow then known as Barry Obama argued -- unsuccessfully -- with the professor back then, seeking elevation to an A.

Now that he’s the 44th president, the man now known as Barack Obama brought it up again during a recent White House reunion with the professor and his family.

And the professor still hasn’t amended his evaluation. The transparent White House also did not offer comment. More details here.
