Yeah, that and there are more "Birfers" on CD than even I ever imagined. This whackadoodle women born in Communist Russia with an some kind of online degree starts a frenzy and these people follow like lemmings.

By the way, even if you had this information, it would prove.....What???

The STATE of HAWAII says he was born there. You have no proof to contradict the STATE of HAWAII.
They had that thesis in hardbound covers (3)in 1958 after I wrote it. I have only used it once, myself, and that was to report the results of the study to a number of math teachers' meetings in the fall of 1958. That was a lot of fun and many people learned things they didn't know so I guess it was worthwhile for them. I got a diploma and those folks learned some things about math teaching and I wasn't even a math teacher.

Come on, what possible harm could come from allowing the rest of us to know what the subject of his thesis was?

Right I'd like to know whose backside 'oldboy pulled that 360 days from too, there's
360 degrees in a circle, perhaps he's getting caught up in his own spin....

If you're referring to the links I tried to post....
MsMcQ LV corrected it in post # 172 (Thanks!) and I supplied a different link to Snopes in post # 164 that works.

I'll bet you are right about those first few presidents since their schools probably didn't keep as extensive records as they do these days.

Do you want top compare Barack Obama to George Washington? i guess so.

They also clamored for Bush's files, school records, grade, but they are incurious when it comes to obama's time at Harvard, Occidental, Columbia.
"The first time in history"........do you mean in the entire history of the United States? Last time I looked, the press cannot "require" anyone to do anything outside of producing public records.

McCain did not release his entire medical file. He released 1000 pages to a SELECTED FEW journalist to peruse for a few hours, period. McCain had serious medical problems, for example, skin cancer, so there was the prefectly reasonable question as to whether or not he would likely be at risk for a recurrence of that skin cancer during his term as President. Could that possibly have been the reason the press was so interested in his medical records? And, as I said, McCain did not release all of his records, nor did he release the records to the public. He didn't release the "whole shebang"......and McCain released basically a one-page letter from each of his doctors as well, and that was perfectly fine with everyone, saying that he was not at high risk for the skin cancer to have spread or to come back.

I would suggest that the press was interested in Bush's school records because the man appeared to have some serious factual knowledge issues during his campaign......remember that?

What benefit could come from it?

And you've been harping on Occidental and Columbia, his undergraduate schools. What papers that he wrote are going to be stored at undergraduate schools? Even his transcripts are going to be in storage.

Was George Washington a U.S. President? Is Barack Obama a U.S. President?

So, you will concede that ALL presidential candidates in U.S. history have/did not release all their school records, medical records, etc, to the public? Will you concede that such a statement about ALL presidential candidates is extreme and just sensational, but not true?

I mean, even W showed his transcripts lackluster as they were.
Name one politician that has had to show these records to the public.

W didn't show his records. Someone got a hold of them by outside means and published them. A leak in a colleges records office is not the same as someone freely publishing their transcripts.

Same thing happen to Kerry. Leaked not freely published by Kerry.

Also I have held gov't clearance and they have never asked for my transcripts or where I have traveled if it was not in the last 10 years.
