OK, Obama's turn.
And it doesn't matter, because he wouldn't have received any kind of special preference for not being an American citizen. Why would he even do that? The tuition cost for international students is usually much more expensive than for citizens. My understanding is that he got scholarships all along the way--those would have been based on his transcripts from American schools. His ACT or SAT would have been taken under his American social security number. The school would have known he was an American kid. He would have absolutely no reason to apply as a foreign student, it would have been more expensive for him to attend that way, and he would have got zero benefit from it.

Precisely.

Nonsense.

SourD has asserted that a crime was committed. It is a different argument completely. I know your heart is in the right place... but the confusion here is entirely yours.

Isn't that exactly what I said? Almost word for word?

Come on now, they're both the same issue. Admit it. I know ya can.
I guess I am dense. Your response here ^^ makes no sense to me.

Good grief, yet ANOTHER birther thread? You could put a new name on this one a start it all over again (and, in fact, that's what the OP, aka Steve McGarrett, does again and again and again) and no one would ever be able to tell the difference. College transcripts, term papers, grammar school records, parents' divorce certificate--same old stupid bs repeated again and again and again.

The bottom line: Birthers are idiots. And rational beings should all simply agree that they're idiots, who collectively don't have enough brain cells to power one functioning human between them, and leave them to their cesspool.

It depends. Do you mean the real ones? Or the ones that haunt your personal delusions?

Ah.... I see. The ones from your delusions. Thanks for clarifying.

Hmmmm... "college records" (which neither have released) vs. "tax returns" (which only Obama has released).

With the exception of the letter "e" there is no apparent similarity whatsoever.
