Mitt Romney has released his income tax reports, so is it not about time the media insisted Barack Obama release his school records?
I would like to know where he attended college, in what years, and most importantly and meaningfully, the answers to who paid his tuition, what were his grades and where in his class did he graduate?
Perhaps, it is about time for the media to ask the same questions they asked president Bush. Bush answered all the media’s questions, so why is the elitist media giving our president a pass now?
P.S.: You should have done a much closer investigation as to where he was born.

"Mitt Romney has released his income tax reports"
He did? I thought he only released 2 years...where is the rest? I can't find any documentation to back this claim.
"I would like to know where he attended college, in what years, and most importantly and meaningfully, the answers to who paid his tuition, what were his grades and where in his class did he graduate?"
We have this information on Romney? Again, I can find no documentation to support this.
"You should have done a much closer investigation as to where he was born."
Are you referring to the rumors that Obama was born in Kenya, or to the rumors that Romney was born in Mexico?

A.J. -- do you mean you would like someone else to do the work and report to you? All the information you want, including lies from the birthers, is available on line. You just have to look it up and pick out the part that appeals to you.

A.J.,
I don't care about Romney's taxes or Obama's records. I care about the direction this country is going and I don't want it going over a fiscal cliff. Stop the deficit spending, stop big government, let the free market do it's thing by making money and jobs.

A.J., from AJ,
I'm pretty lazy, when it comes to things I don't think matter much...however, apparently not as lazy as you...a short, cursory web surf showed me that Obama attended Occidental College, in Los Angeles, for two years...then, he transferred to Columbia, in New York, where he got a degree in Political Science. He went on to Harvard for a law degree.
He had jobs as a community organizer (which I'm sure you've heard, as if that's a bad word), a lawyer, an author, and a lecturer at Harvard, before running for State Senator, in Illinois, and then U.S. Senator, etc.
I hope I at least answered some of your questions, although I can't fathom why it would amount to much more than a yawn, from the standpoint of news.
Unless, of course, you like to believe in vicious gossip, and you're just looking for support for your own foregone conclusions?
You can find that, on the internet, too...

As for Romney and taxes: I don't really care what his tax returns look like. I just assume, because he is one of the truly rich, he has long since figured out how to not pay any fair share of taxes, by hiring people to find him loopholes in the tax code...all very legal, and all very unethical...
I also assume Obama has done much the same.
I do realise that it's a bias of mine, against rich people, in general.
I'd be more willing to bet I'm wrong about Obama's taxes, than Romney's, though...call it a hunch...

First, Twitt Romney released only two tax statements in both years Romney paid under 15% on $22 million dollars a year income and has over $200 million dollars hidden in off shore accounts, second if you are so stupid not understand, to become a lawyer you have to pass the bar exam in the state you practice in. If you had pay attention Obama just pay off his student loan.

A.J. Milone’s question was: “Mitt Romney has released his income tax reports, so is it not about time the media insisted Barack Obama release his school records?”
Last year Mitt and Ann Romney made over $13 million, mostly through investments. They released their 2011 income tax return; paid $2 million in taxes and over $4 million in donations, which is about 30 percent of their income. They also released a summary of 20 years-worth of tax information that shows that on average Romney's tax rate was 20.2 percent.
That counters charges from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., that Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes in 10 years.
Being admitted to Occidental College in Los Angeles, Columbia University in New York City, there are mysteries surrounding Barack Obama's college years.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States, so important to be kept secret from America’s voters?
You are right A.J. Milone…. If it’s that bad, maybe it’s something the American voters ought to see.

I see that the left wingers here are ignoring A J 's ?? about what are in the records.
He did not have the money to go to these top schools so who paid his way??
The reason they won't release this info is, I'm pretty sure you will find that he applied for and received foreign student aid , which means he is not an American and therefore not eligble to be POTUS.
I want to see the left wing liberal press just one time ask this fake/fraud of a president the same ???? they ask republicans.

Instead of continuing the school of thought that one of the parties is actually better for America, why don't we question the system. There's volumes we don't know, and that is more important than how an education was paid for.
Who contributes millions to each candidate and why? Which lobbyist owns whose chief-of-staff? Why do our senators and representatives live like kings, and hold office as long as kings?
If you think that elected officials have the citizens best interest in heart, I believe you are wrong.

I know that Obama will attack a nation while intentionally ignoring the Constitution and not consult Congress before going to war. I know Obama will lie to tell a narrative (again, Libya) and will fight tooth and nail to keep it up until the facts are indisputable. Then he'll find a top official (head of intelligence) to be the scapegoat and take the fall.

If he'd done well in school it would be trumpeted. He was raised in the era of affirmative action, mediocre work was praised. The question is are we going to continue the affirmative action program all the way to the White House? He is POTUS, he's done a terrible job. Are we going to reward that? Find excuses for it, or are we going to demand performance, not only from Obama but the rest of the government as well?

Who cares. I know more than enough about President Obama to make a rational decision in November. No need to hear anymore. Heck I would vote for Clinton over Obama in a heart beat- the cheater or the enabler.
