I think releasing his records will expose him as someone who lied about his birthplace to get scholastic aid, a felony.
Or he got the aid legitimately as a foreign student and lied to get elected President.
You "think" that?
Why?
What else does your magic crystal ball tell you?
Because nothing less explains the need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on attorneys to keep them private.
Personally, I think he scammed the system for the foreign aid money myself...
In a tight race, 10% is everything. Hell, 1% is everything.Don't know about that. As I said, if he thinks he can still get the "he's not Bush" votes that won the election for him last time, then sure.
At this point, that novelty is beyond stale.
It's late in the cycle. 90% of Americans have already made a decision as to who they're planning to vote for.
How many people in that 10% do you think care about his college records?
Do you think releasing his records will cause anyone to change their vote to him?
Personally, I know the transcripts issue is not going away. The opposition is not going to let that one slide.....again. So, the issue is probably not so much the content of the transcripts, but the principle of his releasing them....willingness to actually BE vetted this time.
It's a gamble. You'll bet on the ball falling on red, and I'll bet on it falling on black and the pot is unknown....
What Obama bets on remains to be seen.
But, this is not going away.

I hope not. Any examination of the candidate's past only favors the incumbent (hence--he's been vetted before and won the election easily). Bring it on.
Cute dog.

Obama hasn't spent any money on lawyers to "keep them private".
They stay "private" unless he releases them. His lawyers don't need to "keep them private".

My bad, I got them confused with his Birth Certificate...LOL!
I would think that a black man at Columbia at that time would be unique and easy to remember.

No, the birth certificate stays private too. Obama has paid no money to any lawyers to "seal" his birth certificate either.
Well, I'm not a birther,Then you live in a weird place. I hadn't pegged you for a birther, but welcome to the club. Tell the nice lady your hat size and the tin foil will be right up.
Then what do you think Obama meant when he said it was good to be back home in Kenya?
What do you think Michelle meant?
Yeah, you're not a birther. You just believe he was born in Kenya, that's all
OK, I'll play along...
How about both men present their past documents simultaneously?
Here is my logic:
1. Clearly, Romney is scared sh#tless of what will happen if his pre-2010 tax documents go public. Mark my words; this represents the meltdown of the Romney campaign--whether he releases the documents or not. He obviously has something he needs to hide and has made every effort to push the issue under the rug. If Romney has nothing to hide, then why not show us those docs? It's a presidential "credential" as far as I'm concerned...
2. Although I have not heard any serious news media address the Columbia transcripts issue (and no, I would not consider FOX a serious news agency, c'mon...), I am willing to bet it's another baseless Right wing-nut conspiracy.
The Right could certainly take this ball and run with it, but so far, they have not. I for one would love to see if Obama is hiding something. Bring it on!
3. I believe this will go the way of the Birther issue. But hey, I could be wrong. I will admit I'm wrong if there is something fishy about Obama's education.
My first reaction to this email was that this is just another crazy Internet rumor. I mean, if President Obama didn't really go to Columbia, wouldn't it have come out during the campaign? So I did a little research and here's what I found.
If Obama's classmates don't remember him, it might be because he only attended Columbia for two years before graduating. He transferred from Occidental College in California before his junior year. At Columbia, he lived off-campus. He also spent most of his time studying. "Mostly, my years at Columbia were an intense period of study," Obama told Columbia College Today in 2005. "When I transferred, I decided to buckle down and get serious. I spent a lot of time in the library. I didn't socialize that much. I was like a monk." Read the whole thing here: Columbia College Today
Moreover, one of Obama's professors at Columbia remembers him well. Michael Baron told the New York Times that he wrote Obama a recommendation for law school. (In the same interview, Baron inadvertently fueled another Internet rumor about Obama's "fake thesis.")

Finally, it should be noted that the source of this rumor is Wayne Allyn Root, who was the Libertarian nominee for Vice President. He made similar claims in an interview with Reason magazine, saying that "maybe" Obama "was involved in some sort of black radical politics." Clearly, Root has political motivation to try to make Obama look bad. Wayne Allyn Root's Million-Dollar Challenge - Reason.com
Hopefully, this will help clear up your concerns. If anybody sends you another email like this, make sure you get the facts before sending it to more people. That way people won't get all worked up over nothing.
Bush was Ivy League educated, and he has the IQ of a hamster.

Root is no fan of the Democratic nominee: "A vote for Obama is four years of Karl Marx, and no one should be happy about that," he told us and a few genial young libertarian activists over cocktails. "He's a communist! I don't care what anybody says. The guy's a communist.... And his mother was a card-carrying communist, and he says she's the most important person in his entire life; he learned everything from her."
But the thing Root really wanted to talk about was Obama's grades. Specifically, he was willing to bet a million dollars that he earned a better grade point average at Columbia than his old classmate, and that the only reason Obama went on to Harvard Law School was the color of his skin.
