Trump to Romney: Demand Obama's college records
Washington Times ^ | July 16, 2012 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 07/16/2012 2:16:14 PM PDT by NYer

Billionaire businessman and Mitt Romney supporter Donald Trump said Monday morning that the GOP nominee should release more of his tax returns — as soon as President Obama releases his college records.

"Obama should give his college applications and records — you talk about transparency," Mr. Trump said on "Fox and Friends." "We will learn more about Obama when we look at those college applications than any other thing that can happen."

White House spokesman Jay Carney last week dismissed the issue as "preposterous," labeling it "the Donald Trump question."

"This is from the guy who insisted that he didn't believe the president was born in the United States," Mr. Carney said.

Nevertheless, Mr. Trump said Republicans should keep pushing on the issue.

"If I were Mitt Romney or advising Mitt Romney, I would say, 'I will put out all of my records, I'll go back as far as you want, after you put out your records on college,'" he said.

"I'll tell you what — the Republicans have to get a lot tougher," he continued. "They have to get down and dirty also, because that's what's happening to them."

It’s fun to speculate on, but the harsh reality is that the people who are voting for Baraq are pretty much going there no matter what comes out about him or his past history.

In a cunning way, Obama has leveraged the depression by creating millions more in the dependent ranks, and thus more Obama voters. He’s been spending $1.40 for every $1 coming in, most of which goes to entitlements.

This has got to be the hardest job in the world - telling lies to cover for Obama and remembering what lies to tell and when.

Good on you, Donald. No one else seems willing to bring this up.

Yes. I’m one voter who wants to see Baraq’s college grades, along with medical records and any other thing an American voter has the right to see from a President.

George Bush was pounded nonstop for 8 yrs. for his “average” grades and anything else the libs could exaggerate and misrepresent. - Now . . this crap.

I can only assume Baraq’s grades are abysmal; otherwise we’d already have seen them. It is just ludicrous what the Democrat Party has foisted upon us; and I hope they go down the old potty hole for it. They make a mockery of the men who have fought and died for this country; they mock God in the process, and God is not mocked.

I believe that we are watching Obama and the democRATS laying the groundwork for a coup d’ etat, to take place shortly before election day if it looks like he and his party are going to lose the election badly.

I’m not a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist, but it sure looks to even the untrained eye that they are planting the seeds of civil unrest. They have already declared a national emergency, and there are Executive Orders to numerous to detail that have given the pResident dictatorial power when he decides to declare martial law.

What grades???

I don’t think he ever was actually in Columbia or Harvard.

NO ONE can remember him at all.

He is a GHOST.

When in the Illinois Senate, he voted ‘present’ more than anything else.
