This is fing ridicules, his college record! I do understand where you birthers are coming from with the birth certificate due to the Constitution requirement of Senators and Presidents being born in the USofA, but please show me where the in Constitution where anyone has to release their college records to be eligible to be Senator or President? I got the Constitution right in front of me and have yet to come across that requirement. Donald Trump and his supporters need to discover a hobby oh wait they do it is making up ridicules demands for President Obama.

This isn't the birthers demand. This is Donald Trump's demand. Although, there are certainly people who are behind him. But in reality this is politics as usual. This President is getting the exact same type of demands and weakness exploitations that any other political player gets. I don't know why people are so shocked at the politics as usual business.

Well since Trump and everyone who is demanding to see Obama's college transcript are also birthers, logically speaking it is a birther claim. Maybe we need to come up with a new label to go along with birther, maybe colleger.

It's really nothing new for people to ask for college records. McCain shut it down by readily admitting that he graduated near the bottom of his class. I've had to provide my college transcripts for the last 3 jobs I've had not to mention how many copies I've sent to jobs I've simply applied for. There is nothing unusual about a prospective employer wanting to know about an applicant's qualifications. I'm just a librarian, is it so horrible for the president to be held to the same standard as a librarian?

Tell me why President Obama has to undergo all this scrutiny? Did Bush have to release his educational records? (In hindsight, I guess he should have, then we would have known how dumb he was before he got elected) Not one of the past presidents have ever been put through this. You will never convince me it is not happening because he is black. It is racist through and throgh.

lacieice, A little history lesson the 21.ST President of the United States was questioned over his citizenship.President Chester Arther was Caucasian.Maybe why President Obama is being asked questions is because his stories have not been consistent.President Obama say's his mother was so poor she had to apply for food stamps just to stay afloat.Being born to a poor woman and a father that was a known as a womanizer and a drunkard many have questioned under them circumstances how is it President Obama obtained one of the best educations money can buy.President Obama has said in the 1980's he visited Pakistan.The year President Obama visited Pakistan citizens of the United States was not being allowed inside the country.I'm just saying maybe this is why people are question President Obama.

I'm sure several presidents, if not all, had to prove they were U.S. born, but not in the way President Obama has been treated. Everyone assumes they know what went on in his life...the details get all mixed up because they come from so many sources, and people get confused. There is an old saying that goes 'believe none of what you hear or read, and half of what you see'...in other words, percetption is everything. As for food stamps, a lot of people have received them, me among them, but that doesn't mean there is no hope. Haven't you heard? America is the land of opportunity...where any little boy or girl can grow up to be president. So what if his family was poor. Does that mean they are stuck there forever? Are all poor families doomed to stay there for the rest of their lives? I don't think so. How did he get educated? I assume he worked hard and got grants and financial support from groups or people who had the means to help. Perhaps he worked...I really don't know. I do know that if you want something badly enough, you will find a way to get it, so I assume he found a way to get the education he desired, just like any other determined person. You are basically saying becsuse he was poor and black, it all has to be a lie. Shame on you. And people claim this is not racially motivated? Bullsh&t. Do you know for a fact that he visited a foreign country when U.S. citizens weren't supposed to be there? Can you verify that? I mean really prove it with documentation? If not, then why bring it up? No matter what your personal opinion of President Obama may be, it is imperative that we respect the office of the President of the United States. All this nonsense makes us a laughing stock to the rest of the world. I support my country, our troops, and my President.....no matter what.

If he were a poor student, he could not have gotten a grant for academic achievements, He could have gotten a grant if his parents were numbers I'd F a society or union or worked I'n certain industry,but even then they would only give the grants to the best Students. The only way would be that he got a lot of money in a trust fund that his mother could not touch. So she could be 'poor' (impossible since she has apparenlly a good educTion. That would be the only way he could have gotten I'n if he Was a poor student.

This is certainly expected from Donald Trump's camp. This is politics and he is going to use every ammo in his arsenal to take down President Obama. Before anyone thinks that the it for "r" reasons, it is not. The reasons are far more obvious. It is politically motivated. Happens every election cycle. Now I could care less about President Obama's school records. If he releases them, I will look. If not, well then don't care. But President Obama is walking a very thin line. If he does release him, it will look like he is dancing to Donald Trump's song and dance. If he doesn't well, the demand will certainly grow and this will be another "silly distraction." As far as Donald Trump's tax returns, he won't publicly release those until after his "official" announcement. That is if he makes one.

Along with others, I'm calling for the public disclosure of at least 10 years of Mr. Trump's tax records. As we discuss who pays fair share taxes and who does not, I'd be most interested in exactly how much of Mr. Trump's so-called billions are found in his beloved America. Other than this important intel, I'll just tag this man precisely what he has become a "carnival barker" ... that's so very hilarious and deserving!

I didn't vote for Obama and I won't do it in the upcoming election, but this is getting obnoxious. Does Trump really think he is going to win the President election? Does he really think he has a fighting chance? I thought him running was just a big joke until he started wanting all this information. I would vote for Obama over Donald Trump any day, and I really don't like Obama. I really hope America is not stupid enough to elect someone like Trump...

I wonder if asking for President Obama's college records is only the beginning.President Obama has refused for over two years to release his educate financial records.As some one pointed out in the 1980's President Obama was in a country that was not allowing Americans inside their country.Many people have asked the question being President Obama was born in Hawaii how is it he was inside this county? President Obama has for two years refused to release his pass port information.Perhaps the next thing Donald Trump will be asking for is President Obama's college financial records.Donald Trump has not said if he is running in 2012 he will let us know early June.I'm sure being Donald Trump is a billionaire the IRS for many years has combed his tax returns.In my opinion Donald Trump is doing what the media refused to do before Obama was elected,Trump is simply asking question that should had been answered along time ago.

Let me preface this with the fact it is ridiculous that we are discussing this 2 and a half years into his reign of terror. Past Presidents have been open to this kind of investigation, why is Obama different? Why are we wrong to ask these questions? To know who he is, where he comes from. We are not wrong, this is smoke and mirrors. Fixate on a birth certificate for two + years and then they wont look at the other hand. Trump wanting college records is right on and it is a good thing that he is not resting between demands.

That Birth Certificate looked photo shopped baddd. He is really Kenyan, which is how he was in pakistan in 88-89 when Americans were not allowed there.
