Because:
a) Most other presidents and presidential candidates in recent history have revealed theirs.
b) There are numerous people at Columbia -- who were in the same major during the same years, and who would have been in the same classes -- who don't even remember Obama.
c) It would be revealing to learn how a boy of such economically modest background could manage to get into one pricey private college (Occidental), transfer to an even pricier private college (Columbia), and then attend law school at an uber-pricey private college (Harvard).
d) He could very well be hiding the possible fact that he was a foreign student -- which would quite possibly put the entire eligibility of his presidency in jeopardy.
By the way, there is no such thing as a "magna cum laude degree," which you put in one of your answer choices.
There's an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and so on. "Magna cum laude" isn't a type of degree. It only indicates that one has graduated with a certain high GPA.
Why do folks want Obama to release his college records?

It's because some people hate Obama and will throw any crap, no matter how ill informed, illogical or ridiculous in the hope that something will eventually stick.
When it doesn't they copy and paste "amusing" pictures and think that they have actually made a point :-)
And when did factcheck.org become a British site?
Oh yes, you post a cut and paste picture as well, how ironic :-)
I would like to see his college thesis...and since Michelle thinks she should be paid now, her college thesis and records....
LIKE ALL PRESIDENTS BEFORE HIM...
I would like to know just what you BELIEVE...what you intended to show the world when you left school...
I would like to KNOW you had this countries ideals, traditions and best interest at heart..,
The same people who like to bash on President Bush for being a C student at the same school...can only say that because HE RELEASED HIS RECORDS...the hypocrisy is astounding.
I am not sure, but I don't think there is a post modern President who has EVER kept any of this information from the people...for any reason.., and who even if they did, didn't at some point release these records eventually.

What we have is somebody who has applied for the highest honor of being the representative to the world for the greatest nation on the face of the globe.., to be the CEO of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA....
and he has refused to show us his resume`....
that in itself is RIDICULOUS...
and the fact that they have the nerve to DEMAND any records from anybody else is even more RIDICULOUS than those who demonize people for asking to see them.
“I was a pretty connected guy. I knew a lot of people. I knew pretty much everyone, I thought, in the Political Science Department. I never met him. I never saw him. I never heard of him. No one that I know at Columbia ever met him, ever heard of him or ever saw him. It's strange. It's mysterious”.
“…the whole class was 700 students. I figure class of '83, Columbia, about 700. I figure Political Science, pre-law, maybe 200, 250. Like I said, I was pretty familiar with most of them. Never heard of him”.
"I think he needs to turn it around. I think if it was me under attack, I would say, why are Obama's records sealed in college, almost his entire life sealed, protected, lawyers, millions of dollars spent to keep him under lock and key, under wrap, why? If he got good grades at Columbia, then there's no issue, show them. If he got bad grades -- who cares..., He's the president of the United States. He got a C once, who cares"?
“If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Colu...

“If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?”
“Of course this is extremely important. CEOs of Fortune 500 companies have had to resign over embellishing their college records; it’s obvious that Obama embellished his”.

I wonder why???

...maybe he should start with his academic records.
...apparently even Fox News thinks birthers are funny.
...apparently even Glenn Beck thinks birthers are morons.
...whatever you say, genius.

1. They don't think he has any.
2. They'll "prove" he's not a native-born American.
3. They can start screeching about how the records are photoshopped.
4. They'll get more fodder for their conspiracy theories.
From the way some have butchered writing "magna cum laude" I think you're right that they don't know what it means.
