He is not the only president, or presidential candidate, who has been asked to provide college records, he just happens to be the only one in recent memory who has decided not to share them when asked. Bush's college transcripts were posted, as were Kerry's and Gore's. We've seen many of the candidates college thesis papers - but not Obama's. He prefers to keep these documents secreted from the people he is asking to vote for him. He is allowed to make public claims about his college scholarships, but then we don't get to see what scholarships they were? He gets up in front of college students making campaign speeches about how he wouldn't be where he was today without others picking up his college expenses and then refuses to let us see how much, or how little, of his college education was paid for by those programs? Why does he not wish us to see his college applications and transcripts archer? As long as he resists providing what every other contemporary president or presidential candidate has provided in this area, is it not reasonable to ask why?archer wrote:

Just like the college transcripts of every other person who has attended college in the United States. Those are private records. It is sad that so many think that Obama is not entitled to the same rights previous presidents have enjoyed. The reason for that blatant disrespect is not pretty to speculate about...as I have posted before...I have my suspicions about why so many think Obama doesn't deserve the same respect as previous presidents and it has nothing to do with his politics or his performance as president.

Is it not at all relevent to know what courses the most powerful person in the world took in college? Should we just vote for someone based on their words and not care about their knowledge? I think it should be a mandatory requirement since the POTUS has more influence of our futures than any other person on the planet. Romney should put his transcripts out there asap just to mess with Obama.archer wrote:

Personally I believe he's resisting releasing them because no other candidate has released theirs voluntarily. Why should he be held to a different standard?

Maybe because he has been asked.
And maybe because there is some relationship to his dismal performance for 3 1/2 years and his school performance. Doubt he can do this badly and not have done the same in school.
