i also find it odd that obama wants his privacy AT THE SAME TIME he is taking away privacy rights for the citizens. he sure as heck doesn't deserve more privacy than the rest of us.
Exactly.

On one hand you say no one has seen them, and on the other you are utterly certain what they say.
Your credibility is suspect.

Obama has released his tax returns. Romney has not. Both released birth certificates. Both have foreign born fathers. Neither have released transcripts. Why don't you start a thread about Romney releasing his tax returns, IC? He's behind.

They both should disclose more information so that voters can make a more informed decision. Romney needs to disclose his tax records, transcripts, etc. Obama needs to do the same.

Yeah, the only source we have for this information is Harvard. What the hell would they know about it, right?

Because you can go to a Harvard web site and see the honors Obama graduated with. If you don't believe Harvard then what would be the point of Harvard releasing his transcripts.

I don't care what Harvard says, let's see them. They can say anything they want and nobody would know if they are lying or not because nobody would ever see the transcripts. I don't trust ANYTHING about this imposter called Barack Obama.

Your comments about affirmative action suggests that you thing that all minority students have poor grades. That kind of assumption is what leads to racism accusations. Many minority students are brilliant. And those are the minority students that Harvard and other top-tier schools go after. Harvard doesn't admit students with low grades. Period.
