Transcripts are something no President releases, nor does any President or anyone else pay a penny to keep them hidden. Bush's were released only after they were illegally obtained and leaked.

Because he's humble.

But the president could remove the suspicions by simply releasing the transcripts.

He wants his opponent to release tax returns - why not be up front and open?

Nothing.

It's just his personal info and really none of our business. It is not necessary for any president to release their college transcripts and we should not require it of anyone.

The same applies to tax returns.

I agree.

However, to be fair, Obama is not asking for anything he hasn't revealed himself.

2. he is a Kenyan or Indonesian national

3. he was admitted as a part of a quota

4. he had marxist courses in his curriculum

5. he had poor grades
lol what on earth, you believe a college transcript has nationality, whether was a foreign exchange student, or a checkbox saying whether they were part of a quota?

I can go dig mine up but I'm pretty sure it will have a student name, a major, a start date, and end date, a status (as in graduated), then a bunch of classes with grades next to them.

Yep-

My college transcript has grades, courses, address, state residency and nationality, as well as race. My final transcript showed cumulative GPA, "college" of graduation in the U, class rank, and honors achieved.

For medical school, in addition to the above, there was a specific "class" that all the quota guys had to take, called the "EOP" (Equal Opportunity Program) class, that signified them as a quota student. Further, the average GPA and MCAT score of an admitted class was public record. One could tell, based on an undergrad transcript, whether the student was admitted via quota. My transcript even had "race" listed.

For undergrad, given Obama's grades, we would be able to tell whether he was admitted as a part of a quota to Harvard Law, as we know the average GPA that is required for admission, barring some weird, phenominal LSAT score. Further, we would be able to tell his permanent residence (not at college), citizenship, GPA, courses taken, and courses dropped or audited. This is everything that we need to know.


Of course it will show everything we need. Didn't you ever attend grad school of some form? When you look at all this, we know that there is either a foreign national, a communist, a quota student, or a bad student hiding in that transcript. Which is it?
