Then it's a very good thing that what he released was not a forged composite of purported birth information.

We're talking about Harvard, not Arapahoe Community College.

Oh... I am quite sure that total idiots apply.

Who do you think provides the transcripts?

Honestly, it wouldn't matter what he released, the birthers would call it a fraud. If nothing he does would make them happy, why should he do anything?
Okay, first anyone can get a birth certificate, especially POTUS, I'm talking college transcripts.

Because they are still apart of the country that he is running. If he wants to prove that he's not biased then he should be trying to get everyone on his side not just the ones willing to pay the most.

For example, here's a VERY good reason why public office candidates' tax records, college transcripts, etc., should be disclosed to the public:
Romney Hid His Returns in 2002 Mass. Governor’s Race, Too – and When One Secret Came to Light, It Proved He’d Lied about His Eligibility to Serve
It actually surprises me that you find it hard to imagine anything, since most of your beliefs about Obama are straight out of the realm of the imaginary.

Great. When Romney catches up to Obama, come on back and we'll talk about what's next.

They ran out of brilliant affirmative action applicants?????

The Law School had 6364 applicants for the upcoming year. For a class of 559 students. Out of the 5805 that won't be matriculating, you think that all the minority students have low grades and poor performance records?

I think brilliant ones and not-so-brilliant ones apply. And Harvard gets to choose. I'm asking you why, when Harvard gets to choose between brilliant applicants and not-so-brilliant applicants that are minority students and all qualify for affirmative action, would Harvard choose anything but the brilliant applicants?
Geographic diversity, endorsements from donors, could be any number of reasons. Admitting only straight-A students does NOT a diverse class make. Read the College Confidential forums around college admissions decision time and look at who gets admitted and who doesn't. Harvard and every other highly competitive college routinely reject more brilliant applicants for those who offer some type of diverse attribute.

Who didn't already know that?

There's a way to fix that. Have Obama release his transcripts and records.
