"I’m sure you’ve met plenty of losers that have graduated law school."

True that.

But, I do think it matters if for no other reason than the principle of transparency. No, the Founding Fathers didn't demand that "transcripts" be released when running for President. But, they didn't demand that tax return and copious financial statements be released either, as is now required by law.

Lastly, there is a LONG record in the modern era of the media demanding that presidential aspirants release their government records, like the military record. Obama was the least vetted candidate to hold that office in the modern age, and the media should be shamed for allowing it.

I agree with what you are saying but I don’t know if I was ever concerned with the last 4 president’s grades.

I have 3 degrees, and my grades were mediocre. That said, I would make a much better president than Obozo. His acqaintences and extra-curriculars are much more telling.

I agree but some branch of the government should be responsible for seeing that a candidate meets requirements of the constitution before being sworn in as President. Maybe, just maybe this clown wouldn’t be in office now.
