Yes, and who was the last president to have to release his birth certificate?

That would be our current legally elected and eligible president.

Of course, not only was he the last president to do so, he was also the first and the only.

This president has been scrutinized more than any other president in the history of this country and for no other reason than that he is a black man with a funny name. There is no reason for his school records; they have nothing to do with his being president and I think it is just more attempts to try to prove something about him that has nothing to do with the office that he holds.

They've been whining about his school records since the birth certificate didn't pan out, long before R-Money's refusal to release his returns, thus showing something he doesn't want us to see.

To give but one example, there is a Bermuda-based entity called Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors Ltd., which has been described in securities filings as “a Bermuda corporation wholly owned by W. Mitt Romney.” It could be that Sankaty is an old vehicle with little importance, but Romney appears to have treated it rather carefully. He set it up in 1997, then transferred it to his wife’s newly created blind trust on January 1, 2003, the day before he was inaugurated as Massachusetts’s governor. The director and president of this entity is R. Bradford Malt, the trustee of the blind trust and Romney’s personal lawyer. Romney failed to list this entity on several financial disclosures, even though such a closely held entity would not qualify as an “excepted investment fund” that would not need to be on his disclosure forms. He finally included it on his 2010 tax return. Even after examining that return, we have no idea what is in this company, but it could be valuable, meaning that it is possible Romney’s wealth is even greater than previous estimates. While the Romneys’ spokespeople insist that the couple has paid all the taxes required by law, investments in tax havens such as Bermuda raise many questions, because they are in “jurisdictions where there is virtually no tax and virtually no compliance,” as one Miami-based offshore lawyer put it.

Tax Returns released by politicians do not have to specify exactly where invested money is in.

Should Obama release Fast and Furious documents? What is he hiding - did he commit a crime?

That is a liberal lie, don't demean yourself with it.

There was a question if McCain based on his birth location could legally run, he went to congress and got it resolved publicly to squash the scrutiny.

Chester Arthur also had to resolve a citizenship issue. Essentially, every single president or major candidate to have a foreign parent or been born outside of the official borders (McCain) has faced scrutiny.

And at the same time ignoring the fact the the leading republicans vowed in Jan to stop or hinder EVERYTHING that the president wanted to do, even if the republicans came up with the idea initially I never understood why some people can be so dense to believe that the president is totally at fault for the economic situation that we are in today even after knowing about this plan as well as the norquist agreement is beyond me

Tim Geitner owed 300 grand in back taxes and only paid them so that he could get his current job!!! Obama picked him anyway! The crook! And now he can put me in jail if I dont pay MINE!!!

Congress has been asking for those Fast & furious documents all year!!! What's good for goose is good for the gander! People were actually murdered in this case! No one is dead because of Romney's tax returns!!

TRUST MY EYE!!

The more Mr. Obama delays, the more suspicious it appears! Right??

First of all please show anywhere in the constitution that you must have to have a college degree to become president. Secondly it has already been proven that he DID graduate Finally, why would he should information on the fast and furious while their are still agents that are undercover, consider the refuticans have already proved that they cannot keep classified information classified regarding undercover agents. Notice how quickly that they forgot about Valerie Phlame. I guess if he would release the information and agents were killed they would have blamed him for releasing the information in the first place. I guess that you don't realize that he nor is Holder running the program but the the director of the ATF.

Also when he runs on how successful he is because he is rich, there is nothing wrong to have him prove that he got rich about good moves or tax breaks and making his money on the backs of the taxpayers and middle class.

Lives carry more weight!! What is Holder and Obama hiding???

And why can't we see his transcripts???? How the heck did a stoner in high school get a free ride at Occidental, Harvard and Columbia??? Just show us!! What is he hiding??

Obama said himself...if you're running for President, your life should be and open book!!

We're still waiting to see his "Table of Contents"!

Correction ONE MAN was killed and not many more if other information is released. FYI what does his transcripts have to do with anything? I graduated from college years ago and it has no baring as to what I'm doing today. If someone wanted to see my transcripts just to prove a pointless point I would tell them to go to Hell.

That was a good point

Can anyone explain why mitt is bragging about working for a company that screwed over people rather than his record as governor of MA?
