No president ever has agreed to release their records. Bush's were leaked. Obama has stated he got a 3.7 GPA in his last two years of school. But that is unverified. Its a mistake to think Obama is dumb. Just like Cruz, while you or I may not like them its the height of foolishness to think either is uneducated or dumb.
I doubt that it is true that no president ever released their records. Link? I remember reading LBJ's records as a kid. Mitt Romney was widely reported to have a 3.97 college GPA. Granted he was not a prez, but he evidently had no problem releasing his records.
There were also reports of Bush vs. Kerry GPA. I don't know whether either released it, but the info did get out.
The only reports I have read are from professors who said that Barack was "lazy" and they were told to make a spot for him on the faculty. They were getting pressure from somewhere by someone who was pushing him along.
They've always been newsworthy. Did you not notice the Romney/Clinton/Obama stuff? Oddly I dont recall any McCain or Palin ones....
There was a lot of mention about McCain's low graduation ranking at Annapolis. And Palin's 5 years, 5 colleges bachelor's degree got press too. it's a sure bet that anyone running for President is going to get their past looked over closely.

bush released 1 page of his yale transcript ( which had already been leaked by the new yorker 4 years before ), kerry's school records were part of his naval records that he released to the globe, romney released some of his high school records and i'm curious where you would have seen LBJ's school records.
if you can link to any president or presidential candidate releasing their college records i'd love to see them.
I prefer to know if the candidate actually understands their policies and have not just been handed a list of talking points. Can they explain them in detail and not in general.
...I wonder why the college days of a presidential candidate became newsworthy again?
Yep the golden throat-ed one in office now is a agent out of nowhere when it comes to his college activities. No one remembers him in any classes. Records are sealed..gee..I wonder why.
