We all know the #1 reason the Trumpster didn't make an actual run at the White House is because he's afraid to release his own tax returns.

If Romney is listening to Trump's advice, then he's dumber than Dubya. I don't think that's possible, to be honest. What this is, is just Trump taking advantage of Romney's problem to put his name in the news again.

Time for Willard to put his man pants on and understand that both his business background and his personal finances are going to be scrutinized. I mean, it's not like he couldn't see this coming since he ran in 2008.

the belief that obama registered as a foreign student has it's origins in an april fool's day prank:

snopes.com: Obama's Occidental College Records / Meet the Soetoros

the 1990 NYT article about obama becoming president of the harvard law revue lists him as "born in hawaii".

First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review - NYTimes.com

if obama had registered as a foreign student at occidental that would have followed up to harvard thru his transcripts.

If his College Admissions were/are sealed, the how did the NY Times know he was born in Hawaii?

I'll avoid Obama's eating of dog, ........oops!
Now that's rich, admissions applications. A little story:

My daughter started the online application to the University of Colorado when she was a senior in high school. She got in elsewhere and didn't complete it. Two years later, she decided to transfer to CU. They did not have her app stored anywhere; she had to start all over! What makes anyone think that almost 35 years ago, colleges saved all this crap?

Obama has said that's where he was born many times. He released a BC in 2008. I love these "gotcha" questions that turn out to be duds.

so many seem to think Romney needs to disclose all but Obama can do as he pleases. To save anymore discussion, I wish Romney would release and I am sure he will but everyone has a right to see Obamas records as well. What is so hard for the left not to understand about this?

Because school records have no relevance in running for president, maybe? (To quote you, what is so hard for the right not to understand about this?)

But if you think they do, why aren't Republicans asking for Romney to release his then as well? Why is it only Obama who is being asked for his college transcripts and thesis? Are they only relevant for a Democratic candidate for some reason?

You may not, others may not, but do you deny he has a point? Either everyone discloses or no one does. The left seems to think Romney is hiding something, what I have no idea; he certainly ins't the only one with bank accounts throughout the world, and the right seems to think Obama is hiding something? Do they think he didnt really graduate or he got into law school because of his color? It was ok to let the country think Bush was a dunce, and only went to an ivy league school because his daddy pulled strings, but it isn't oK to ask for Obama's college transcripts? I am having trouble with the hypacrancy (spelling) here.

they are not "sealed", they are private records.

either directly from obama or from someone at harvard. it's unlikely that someone would fraudulently apply to harvard as a foreign student then tell the NYT they were born in hawaii. it is equally unlikely that, had that been the case, harvard would not have expelled obama.

when it comes to trump's birther claims i absolutely deny he has a point.

his claim that obama may have registered as a foreign student has it's genesis in an april fool's day prank:

snopes.com: Obama's Occidental College Records / Meet the Soetoros

trump's claim that obama's grandmother said he was born in kenya is absolutely false:

http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/wp-co...iptlulu109.pdf

and trump's claim that a certificate of live birth is not a birth certificate is contradicted by both state officials..... and romney! mitt released his COLB as proof of birth:

http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/MSNBC/C...p.grid-8x2.jpg


even after demanding that obama should release all his records trump goes on to say that romney shouldn't release his tax returns because the obama camp will "make them look bad".




so, if trump was consistent and based his opinion on facts i'd say he had a point. he isn't, he didn't and he doesn't.
