It sure is politics.I guess if missionary work done in 1966 is all that pertinent to the job, then yeah, you sure can believe that. So can I.I'll continue one of my previous hypothetical situations:
Romney has made the claim that he spent that time in Europe doing missionary work, so he's the one who has to back it up. Until then, I don't have any reason not to believe that he spent that time gambling and whoring in Bratislava.
I wouldn't care.
I DO care that Obama provide the most basic docs for a professional job - transcripts - ESPECIALLY one where that was his selling point.
I don't hire anyone without transcripts. And, when I worked for the US government, they would never hire me without transcripts. He works for the US government...
Well, he works for ALL Americans, not just Democrats.
The question of whether or not Obama should release his college records is not what I'm talking about.
I see nothing wrong about asking Obama to release his college records - not that I think he should, or will.
It boils down to politics - is it in Obama's best interest, election-wise, to release his college records? Will it cause a net gain in votes?
The answer is No, of course. It's a no-win situation for him, which is exactly why that particular talking point has been pushed so far, and why he can't, and won't respond to it.
He got a pass not being vetted last election....don't know why, exactly....maybe just the fact that he wasn't Bush.
That's not going to work, this time. Folks are demanding that the non-vetted POTUS finally be vetted.
If he thinks resisting such a thing is going to win those "he's not Bush" votes again, then good luck to him. No one ever said politics isn't gambling. So, let's see what gamble he takes.
I wouldn't advise it. But, I doubt he would listen to me.
