How about releasing all the Holder emails regarding Fast and Furious that Obama claimed Exec privilege on? Most Transparent Admin Evah!

clyons Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Isn't the release of several years of recent tax returns a commonly accepted campaign tradition started by Romney's dad? I've never heard of a similar thing regarding decades-old college transcripts, how and when did that start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recalled those being "leaked," and found an old article from the New Yorker that seems to support that: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1999/11/0...LIBRY_000019458 Everything else I've found from a Google search on the question seemed to come from highly partisan sources (on both sides), but I believe this is a newly Trumped up "issue."

Not 'newly'. The media seems to have gone out of its way to find report cards from Romney's prep school and even grade school, but can't seem to 'find' anything on Obama's grades. More like a challenge to actually try and be neutral and report both sides. They hide tapes of private donor meetings from the public, only report what they want to report, so this is just more of the same. If Obama wants to be known as the smartest person in the room, let's see some proof of it. You don't need proof that Romney is rich. And since Harry Reid can do it, so can everyone else. I heard Obama is stupid from some unnamed person who says he used to work with him. It's not up to me to prove he is stupid, but up to him to prove he isn't.

Not that it has anything to do with whether he deserves reelection, but the man: a) got into Harvard Law School; 2) made the Harvard Law Review; and was elected as its President by his Harvard law peers. I was Dean's List at a Big10 U and scored in the 92% on my LSAT and couldn't do that, or make Law Review at my Big10 Law school. Even if you account for "affirmative action" as a basis for admission to Harvard Law (which is what I assume implicitly underlies this issue), you can't accomplish items (2) and (3) as a dummy, or on any kind of free pass. No way. So if that's not "some proof" that the guy is smarter than the average bear, I don't know what is, and the transcripts won't "end" this issue for some people any more than the birth certificate did that one.

Yes, those men were pretty damned successful students as well.
