Trump asks - How did obama get into the Ivies? (McCain, attorney)

[sanrene]

This is another sore point - obama's records are locked up tight, have never been seen - transcripts, applications, scholarships.

The Donald is giving voice to what many people have wondered in the past, but it would never get any traction because the media was culpable in allowing him to hide his records. The Donald is giving them no choice now.

"How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records," he said, without providing backup for his claim.

"We don't know a thing about this guy," Trump said.

Questions that should have been answered years ago, but the media shielded obama.

But...we saw Bush's records, didn't we? We got a look at his transcripts as well as McCain's. Not so with obama - they are ALL locked up, sealed tight.

UNPRECEDENTED for a P candidate, even more unprecedented for the media to allow it.

Love The Donald - he will go where others won't - asking questions that go unanswered years later.

Donald Trump on Monday suggested he had broadened the scope of his investigation regarding President Obama's background, arguing that - in addition to making inquiries into Mr. Obama's citizenship - he was "looking into" the president's college career.

I believe there are things on these documents obama can't explain.

He's an underrepresented minority. They get huge bonuses for the Ivy leagues and law schools.

He obviously did the work and did it well enough be elected to Harvard Law Review and graduate magnacum laude from Harvard.

can you name a single public document of obama's that isn't available to the public?

do you consider your own private documents "locked up tight"?

I love how you come to his aid by smashing Bush but last I checked Bush wasnt the one sealing his records.

So any suspicions should be directed at OBAMA.

Being an "underrepresented minority" does not graduate someone from the nation's top university at the top of one's class.

I like the questions he is asking.
