I hope he isn't in there until 2017. I'm running out of money to support you folks.

But Mitt won't release anything but his 2010 and an estimate of his 2011 tax returns. In the meantime President Obama has released ELEVEN YEARS OF TAX RETURNS.

Since you so damn interested in people's backgrounds ask yourself why Mitt Romney won't release earlier tax returns?

This appears to be a bit of a hallucination. Colleges are not subject to the FOIA. No FOIA requests were ever made by by anybody to get Sarah Palin's records.

And this almost certainly accounts for the fact that... wait for it... her college records have never been released, and they have never been leaked.

None of his records are sealed. They are merely protected by the same laws that protect your and mine? Are yours sealed?

Mine aren't.

The same exact reason that all Romney's records like enrollment forms are locked away and so many things about what the Obama's ate for lunch last Saturday are so ready for the Massachusetts campaign of Romney but others can't find out his enrollment records.

In fact... here's the score care of "personal" (as opposed to political) transparency:

Released Short Form BC:

Obama - Yes
Romney - Yes

Released Long Form BC:

Obama - Yes
Romney - No

Released School Records:

Obama - No
Romney - No

Released Tax Records:

Obama - Yes
Romney - No

Released Complete Medical Records:

Obama - No
Romney - No

Released Doctor's Medical Record Summary:

Obama - Yes
Romney - No

Final Personal Transparency Score:

Obama - 4
Romney - 1

No.

The FOIA act doesn't even apply to those. The FOIA does not apply to private records of individuals or companies, the Congress, the courts, or the central offices of the White House, nor does it apply to records in the custody of state or local governments.

I think you're probably confusing the FOIA (passed in 1966) with a completely different law... the Privacy Act passed in 1974. That's the one that protects all our college records.

Ignoring that there's really no question there... in fact not even a complete sentence... Sarah Palin's college records are still perfectly safe, secret, and completely un-dug up.

As usual, you guess wrong.

Wrong again, Ranger.

Bush's and Kerry's records were illegally leaked, while McCain's and Clinton's (and Romney's) are still unreleased and unleaked.

In point of fact, no president or presidential candidate has ever voluntarily released their college records in all of American history.

When Romney releases his college transcripts, then he'll be in a position to ask for Obama's.

But since Obama has already released his tax records, he is already in the position to ask Romney for his.

This is really not that difficult a concept. How is it that you guys can't seem to wrap your heads around it?

Nobody has "sealed" anything and it up to any of us to publicize as much or as little of our personal info as we choose. It's unnecessary to demand this from anyone since personal info is just that. There is only so much you need to know about a person, and then there is obsession.
