Carney dodges question about Obama's college transcripts.
Real Clear Politics ^

Posted on 01/17/2012 4:18:46 PM PST by Flotsam_Jetsome

White House press secretary Jay Carney is asked why President Obama hasn't released his college transcripts. Carney dodges the question and tells the reporter, Ed Henry of FOX News, to ask the campaign.

Carney then talks about candidates and releasing their tax returns.

Ed Henry, FOX News: "I don't know how many years, maybe you do, George Romney released of his college transcripts, but Republicans like to complain that the President has not released his college transcripts. What is the stated reason for that?"

Jay Carney, White House: "I would refer you to the campaign.

"I think we've answered this a bunch. The tradition of releasing income tax records for serious potential nominees, and nominees of the two parties is well established. It's not a law. But it's well established. It's one this President abided by when he was a Senator. It's one numerous Republicans and Democrats have abided by and we think its a good idea."

He doesn’t want to release his college thesis either, because he writes about how much he hates white people

George Romney? I assume he meant Mitt Romney but at least someone has actually asked the question....Hopefully, this blatant dodge will get someone other than FOX to start asking questions.

The Media wants to know everything about GOP candidates but nothing about Obama. We do not even know if Obama graduated from anything. Maybe he collected foreign aid from growing up in Indonesia for all we know.

I’m not holding my breath on “Obama” getting a thorough vetting this time around; it was amusing to watch Carney duck the question, however.

Why would he care whether Mitt’s Daddy released college transcripts? He was NEVER President.

Which likely means he got an A+ on the thesis, no matter how rambling and unscholarly it appeared.

He didn't write a thesis -- didn't have to to graduate.

If he did it would have been on international relations.

Maybe not much opportunity there to write about hating White people.

You can read his wife's thesis on line.

Do you really not know that you don't know any of this?

The media knows intuitively that Baraq is a god.

They did more investigating of Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher in 24 hours than they did of Baraq in 24 months.

Those transcripts are in the same safe as the Coca Cola formula. We will never know what his grades were or what his test scores were. It is safe to assume they are crappy.

Obama was the original occupier at Columbia and Harvard.
