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?

Obama campaigned on being transparent, and that includes releasing the same records that he insists other candidates release.
But I admit, I would like to know how he paid for these schools, considering he was supposedly broke growing up (despite his fathers millions of $$$). Also would like to see if he entered any of the schools as a foreign exchange student
Also find it odd that no one remembers him ever being in class at Columbia, If there are only 250 poli sci majors, they should all pretty well know each other to some degree
The BS about a foreign student was claimed when he was at freshmen and sophomore level.
He was alleged to have asked for a Fulbright Scholarship. This has already been debunked.
Guess why. Fullbrights are only for Masters and Doctorates. He wasn't at that level, so a fullbright wouldn't have been used. Factcheck.org already investigated this years ago and proved it was fake. Don't you research?
But the problem with being a foreign student is that it means he was no longer an American citizen0 and if that is the case, he would not be Constitutionally eligible to be president.
That is why this is important0 did he ever relinquish his American citizenship- and if he did so to qualify as a foreign exchange student, that says a lot about his character also, and shows how little regard he has for this nation
Your side claims he is "brilliant", lets see....
Some may think there is something related to citizenship in Obama's college records.
