Obama has never released his college records -- while demanding that Romney release tax records that have already been filed with the IRS. Hypocritical or what?

    How dare you disparage The 0bama?

    If The 0bama says that Romney needs to release his tax records, Romney had better comply. The fact that Romney has already released them makes no difference because The 0bama is always right.

    Do you see Clinton's, other than the years he was president? Nope. Bush? Nope. Ford? Nope. REAGAN? Nope.

    arent taxes supposed to be public for every president? i dont recall anyone ever having to prove their college records, so i dont see why they are even being compared. what will they want next from obama? daycare records? lmfao, calm down people, lets just get the same records from everyone, like its always been.

    He needs to release his college records because they will prove he was enrolled as foreign student. You on the left, what are you so afraid of? Tell him to release all his records so he can prove all of us wrong! He wont because he is a fraud. You are all just useful idiots!

    Let me see if I follow your illogical post. You claim President Obama was enrolled somewhere as a foreign student. You offer no proof of any sort to support that claim but you then demand he releases some sort of record so he can prove you wrong. In summary, you made a claim that is unsupported by any evidence and you demand he prove you wrong. You make no sense at all. In our legal system the accuser is required to prove guilt and the accused does not have to do a single thing.

    Nope, but it is hypocritical of Republicans to demand our President's birth certificate, his social security number, his college transcripts and his medical records without just cause or reason, but then turn around and say Romney shouldn't have to release his tax returns like all the other Presidents.

    Where is the proof that Romney is hiding something in his tax forms? Proof is long form, with signatures, with letterheads. Because there is NO proof, it is a ploy by Obama to get people to talk about anything but his record on running this country.

    In all honesty I don't think its a valid comparison since his college records aren't all that important especially when compared to ones tax returns. Mitt's own father George set the bar pretty high for presidential candidates when he released 12 years worth of returns when he ran for the presidency, here's what he had to say about a presidential candidate only releasing one years tax return like Mitt did reluctantly after being pressured by the other GOP candidates:

    "Releasing only one years wouldn't prove anything. It could be a fluke, or even a cynical manipulation designed to make the candidate look good. What really mattered was how a candidate managed his personal finances over the long haul."

    And with Mitt's tenure at Bain Capital being an issue for many voters his personal finances, especially his Swiss bank account, Cayman Island accounts and a Bermuda shell company which he put in his wife's name to avoid disclosure right before becoming Massachusetts Governor are much more important than the president's college records.

    College Records? What a piker.

    One Conservative demanded to see Obama's Kindergarten Records !

    These people are idiots.

    Romney's Father started the current tradition, releasing ten years worth of his tax records to prove he had nothing to hide.

    Mitt, though, didn't want to. He resisted a long time, until the other Republican Candidates forced his hand. Then he shifted some money into his wife's accounts, and released ONE year's records.

    Obama has already released all HIS financial records for years back.

    Now, what any lunatic would want with Obama's College report cards, I don't know.

    Just something else to whinge about, now that the Birthers are a joke?

    If he releases his College Records, I'm sure Glenn Beck and Co. will pore over them looking for something to twist and accuse him of.

    And if they find nothing, they'll say the records must be forgeries.

    Think for JUST ONE MOMENT.

    No candidate for President has EVER been required to show his birth certificate.

    But Obama produced it. And produced the original after letting the idiots fume and drool for two years.

    NOW the fools want his College transcript ?

    Don't you think it's time they gave up and admitted, this is a sick, racist demand?


    Or did they demand to see John McCain's records in 2008 and I missed it?

    You know... John McCain wasn't BORN in the United States !

    Yes ! It's TRUE !

    The Democratic Senate took all of thirty minutes to review the fact McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, and approved his right to run for President.

    Because, of course he's an American. He had at least one American parent.

    All Romney has to do is ante up.

    Release the same eight years of tax records Obama did. Of course, the President's tax records are required to be open by law, so Obama is now at eleven years.

    And I made a mistake earlier: I wrote that Romney's father released ten years of records. I can't imagine how I wrote ten when I meant TWELVE.

    Obama already released his medical records when Sen. McCain did.

    McCain's file was an inch thick. Torture during the Vietnam War will do that.

    Obama's medical file was one page. For a guy who hadn't quit smoking yet, he was disgustingly healthy.

    But about the college records... why? It's a requirement to release tax records, nobody gets elected without that. Cabinet Members have to release three years, IIRC, and they aren't even elected.

    But college records aren't required. We're not demanding to see Romney's transcript !

    I mean, who cares?

    So, why should Obama release private information, protected by law? No, really, WHY ?

    It comes long before he ran for office. And HE didn't chase people with scissors and lop their hair off in school, so...

    There must be a REASON.

    You know what. The President's tax records are NOT required to be open by law - they're protected the way any private citizen is. It makes me question every single other statement you made, that you started with a lie. In fact - Reagan, Clinton, and Bush DID NOT release any tax returns other than for the years they were president.

    Keep spreading the liberal lies, kid. And really, why? Private information protected by law - like, medical records? Tax returns? Get over yourself.

    Obama has released his tax returns.

    Romney has only released last years return. When Romney's father was running for president, he released 12 years of tax returns.

    What is it that Mitt doesn't want us to see?

    Mitt is also the first candidate for president who has money stashed in Swiss and other over seas bank accounts. Why?

    And why won't he release this information?

    Why would the American people want to elect a man who has so little confidence in America that he has invested his money in foreign countries?

    We're not talking about college transcripts here. Requesting those is ridiculous. But tax returns are not.

    I have never heard of any other candidate having to release his college transcripts and health records. I know there was an issue with the health of Eagleton who was going to be a VP candidate but that's the only time I can remember that happening. It is not routine and I think it's one more attempt to badger Obama with requests that no one else has ever had to provide.
    No one is DEMANDING Romney's college and health records. But it is common practice for candidates to release their tax records.
    I think it's far more important to release their tax returns and Romney is refusing to release more than last year's taxes. He's not just delaying, he's REFUSING. What's he hiding? Most presidents release several years. If nothing's wrong, he should be willing to release them. We all know he's wealthy, no surprise there. It must be a matter of how he made the wealth, where it is stashed and how much he paid in taxes.

    The reason no other person has been asked to release their college records, is because no one has ever sealed theirs. If he indeed did as great in college as he wants us to believe he wouldn't be hiding it. He would be proud of his record. What is he hiding?
  • Pat micmin 2012/07/16 21:14:53

    So you need to see the college records because Obama chose to seal his? He was a lawyer. He must have graduated high school and college and Law School and passed the Bar Exam which is no easy task. He is very well spoken, intelligent, well informed. There is no reason to think he's uneducated and it simply has never been asked of anyone else before. Is it just because you can't have it that you want it? I don't think his college grades are or should be an issue. Tax returns are very different. Past candidates have willingly released their tax records. It is expected that they will be released so when someone refuses, it's news. There is every reason to want Romney's records due to his involvement with Bain Capital and his overseas tax shelters. Now that he has made an issue of releasing them, one has to think that there is something to hide. He should release them or tell us why not.

    Where is your outrage with Obama wasting our tax money. He has no idea how to invest (he was a community organizer for Christ sake). Mitt Romney spent his OWN money. And he knew how to invest. Obama looked at the business plan of Solynda, he was so stupid he didn't see the alarms, like Bush did when he denied the loan to Solyndra and many other companies. When those companies went bankrupt, us tax payer should have gotten what ever money was left. Obama made sure his friends got the money before us. That was illegal.

    The offshore accounts showed up in the one year's tax records Mitt did release, under pressure from the other Republican candidates.

    Wrong with being wealthy? Nothing. Some people, like Steve Jobs, got wealthy by creating companies and employing people that had great ideas.

    Others got wealthy by stealing other people's best ideas.

    Mitt got wealthy by taking over companies other men had built and milking them like a cow. People got laid off, the companies were larded up with debt, and some collapsed.

    There is nothing wrong with being wealthy. But there is something wrong with manipulating or cheating on your taxes. All presidential candidates release many years worth of tax returns. This is not unique to Romney. The longer he waits the more it appears that there's something in there that he doesn't want us to know. He must release them or this will hang over his nomination and may even cause the GOP to ask him to remove himself from the race. He had better be able to deal with those consequences.
