He graduated top of his class at BYU and got into Harvard, where he simultaneously earned an MBA and a JD. I look forward to him releasing those. He gave the commencement speech at his BYU graduation, so I expect his transcript will be one that suits such a hard-working, intelligent person. I don't care if he releases it, nor do I care if Obama does. We've seen an estimate, I highly doubt his returns will be much different. But either way, we shall see them even closer to the election than if he just got it out of the way now. He must not be too worried. Same goes for tax returns. What on earth would we see in his LFBC??

Yes! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that people really don't like what Obama has done and know that Romney's policies and plans aren't that different.

Hopefully they aren't so stupid as to let the media pick who they vote for this year and will vote their conscience instead.

He has shown himself capable of getting frustrated in debating environments.
Only when the media tells them to be pissed about it. Most Americans would be pissed about Obama saying we should redistribute the wealth, but you never heard that one on the news reels, only when the GOP brought it up (and granted, they did quite often. But it hurts when the narrative on the evening news is also talking about how people feel your statements are out of touch but don't do the same to your opponent).

I thought Romney kept his cool very well in the debates...

Say what? To undo what Bush did would require doing something DIFFERENT. Instead Obama has not only continued what Bush started but has done a better job at a faster rate of wreaking the country!

When Obama was elected my dollars bought a lot more than they do now. His policies have eroded our currency to the lowest its ever been! We have less purchasing power than ever before. The Federal Reserve is doing a lousy job. Obama could have picked a different Fed Chair but decided to KEEP Bernanke who was there when Bush was in office.

We have more wars going on than when Bush was in office. Obama took it upon himself to START those wars IGNORING the protocol of the Constitution.

I could go on and on. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that we are FAR worse off now than we were in 2008 thanks to Obama's destructive policies.

When he wasn't trying to make $10,000 bets.

Or saying stuff like:

And yet he is leading in the polls. Think about that! Doesn't make sense does it? Just think what the polls will look like when his favorability increases after he wraps the nomination. It's not going to be pretty for Obama, cause it looks bad now.

He has no need to go on Meet the Press. Losers go on Meet the Press, because nobody watches it. Santorum was on there every other week and what did it do for him?
