Donald Trump questioning the president's educational background took me back to those unfortunate memories.
I don't think any other president in the history of the United States ever had his citizenship cross-examined, his religious faith challenged or his educational achievements put to question.
It is a sad situation that a man who has earned a degree from Columbia University, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, has been elected as president of the United States and received a Nobel Peace Prize has to continuously prove himself as a man worthy of respect. He simply shouldn't have to.

Since when is it "disrespectful" to ask questions?
Actual headline. Wow.
Keep asking questions please.
CNN is getting a lot of memos from the Whitehouse lately.
You are failing to propagandize America enough!
Obamas rating bounced like a lead golfball.
And Trump is reloading.
Obama disrespects America.
I'm going with Trump on this one.
These liberals absolutely kill me. They just won’t wake up until they’re in the pit of hell.
According to the author of the article:
“The president should not have to prove anything to anyone. “
How come that when one of us “ordinary Americans” apply for a job, we have to prove citizenship by showing our birth certificate, we have to provide college transcripts, etc., but when you get the most important job in the country, that of the President of the USA, “you shouldn’t have to prove anything” — or does that apply only to “King Obama”?
How many times have we hear that GWB was a poor student or the questioning of where Sarah Palin got her degree?
There is nothing wrong with wanting to know how Obama was able to go to very expensive schools when he had no money. We know nothing about this man and there is a massive coverup to keep it that way.
Boo Hoo and all? Double wow.
Donald Trump is not questioning "Black" intelligence, he is questioning this particular man intelligence, and I am certain that he would ask the same questions if he was yellow, red, green, or purple.
But isn't it also true that it was the wisdom and insight of the president that led to the abandoning of the Bush approach of bombing the entire area, leaving no man, woman or child standing?
Actually Obama has left every single "Bush Policy" in effect including the questioning of suspects at Gitmo which is still open. And there is another very disturbing fact out there. Pakistan is telling everyone that will listen that they informed the US of the existence of this compound 2 years ago right after Obama took office. Maybe a few less rounds of gold and parties and he could have gotten to it sooner.
Right, no President ever had this kind of treatment. No one ever called Ronald Reagan a dunce nor did they use our tax dollars to produce an NPR hit piece called "Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon," that claimed because Uncle Ronnie believed in Biblical prophecy he welcomed nuclear war. And no one published George W. Bush's transcripts or called him intellectually incurious or fabricated documents about his time in the National Guard.
Nope, only Obama has ever had a bad word said about him. Poor Obama.
Donald Trump is at least doing what needs to be done to remove the charade of a president and any credibility he has left from our nation.
“earned a Nobel Peace Prize”?? Really? I suppose like he earned all the rest.
I have never had a job in my life that did not REQUIRE that I produce transcripts. This is insane.
Hell, I can say I have 10 Phds and I'm the Queen of England. Who cares. Without documentation, it is just so much hot air.
The ultimate irony is that I have no doubt that Mr. Thomas had to produce his transcript to get a job writing about how transcripts don't matter to be President of the United States.
Liberals...what planet do they come from?
The writer had me until he mentioned the Nobel Peace prize—What a joke—he did nothing to earn it outside of one speech that did nothing! He was given it as a slap in the face of Bush and his polices. His award of this prize was even worse than the one given to Al Gore—he at lease made a slide show.
"Yo, you crackers been dissin' the prez. Not cool!"
“I don’t think any other president in the history of the United States ever had his citizenship cross-examined, his religious faith challenged or his educational achievements put to question.”

Short memory, that one. Now get your sippy cup, a cookie and go take your nap.
Recall the MANY attempts to do EXACTLY the same things to GWB. Recall the Dan Rather forgeries. Hypocrisy is not a winning strategy, CNN!
