Appearing on the Fox News Channel's top-rated O'Reilly Factor this evening, former Arkansas Governer Mike Huckabee (R) suggested that President Barack Obama be challenged to prove whether he was treated as a "foreign student" in college.
Huckabee made the remark in the context of a discussion with host Bill O'Reilly on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, dithering over releasing his tax returns.
Huckabee, who ran for president in 2008, urged Romney to say that he would release his tax returns when Obama released his college transcripts--and his college admissions records to show whether Obama received loans as a "foreign student."
While some will accuse Huckabee of going 'birther', others will understand that Huckabee is referring to Obama being adopted and raised for a time in Indonesia by his mother's second husband, Lolo Soetoro, and whether Obama went to college as an Indonesian citizen to get advantageous treatment.
Expect the leftist media to have a conniption fit over this.
The issue of Obama refusing to release his college records was revisted this week by Fox's White House reporter Ed Henry who asked Obama spokesman Jay Carney about it at a daily briefing. Carney brushed off the question. Henry did not ask whether Obama went to college as a foreign student.
If it turns out Obama did go to college as a foreign student, it would lend credence to the argument that he does not meet the Constitutional mandate for natural born citizenship to be president.
Romney should say he’ll release his tax returns and throw in his educational records in order to show transparency.
A three part interview was posted very recently, last part yesterday. Nothing about foreign student status, just other highly illegal stuff. You made a list of several possibilities so...
Maybe this election it will be brought front and forward. Geez! I make myself laugh. Like it will ever happen.
In New Jersey we call this a McGreevey. Obama is a full fledged, card carrying member of the G&L Task Force. He bought Michelle and the whole package for cover. Why does she go on all these fANCY TRIPS AND HE NEVER GOES WITH HER UNTIL LATER? Never took her to see the dying grandmother! HUH!
Newt will call him on it. No one else has the balls. This is going to be an avalanche and may happen at the SOTU(?). Reminds me of the movie “Dave”.
Makes me wonder if this is something that Huckabee has learned from Sheriff Joe and the posse. I’ve never heard him mention this question of college loans previously and I suspect he is not going to just throw out random questions unless he “knows” or strongly suspects something.
It’s my suspicion that many of the “powers that be” within the Republican party know much more than they admit. For whatever reason, they choose to keep it quiet. There is no other explanation I can gather that can defend their lack of curiosity for Obama’s records and birth story.
I have been saying that since the first time I saw it. Ewwww!
