America loves a winner!

Do we really NEED to find out what his grades were in college ?

Kerry told us his. So did Bush. So why not Obama ?

But his college records would also tell us how he enrolled, as a US citizen, or as a foreign exchange student. You remember, as his PUBLISHER once claimed.

So, what IS Obama really hiding ?

Why not Mitt? That's not me asking; that's Rick Perry, who noted that Romney has never released his college transcripts.

Speaking of Mitt, have you ever seen any of his marriage licenses? I mean his long-form marriage licenses, of course, not those obvious forgeries that are making the rounds.

How many sister-wives is Mittens hiding? We know his granddady and great-granddaddy had many, many wives. How many wives does Mittens have? And have any of them ever worked a day in their lives?

And why have we never seen Mitt's proof of citizenship? We know his father was Mexican - is Mitt a Mexican citizen or an American?

Why won't he show the documents?!

Romney staff spent nearly $100,000 to hide records

Quote:
(Reuters) - Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned.

The move during the final weeks of Romney's administration was legal but unusual for a departing governor, Massachusetts officials say.

The effort to purge the records was made a few months before Romney launched an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.

BTW, have ANY recent presidents or presidential candidates released all of their college transcripts?

We're told Dubya's were "leaked" by New Yorker magazine, but I can find no evidence he released them.

Rappy's original post says that "Kerry told us his. So did Bush." "Told us" ≠ "released the transcripts"; I can *tell you* that I've got a 4.0 in 3.5 years of college courses. Is that good enough for you to accept it as proof?

And while I've found no clear evidence that any recent candidates have released all of their college transcripts, I've found plenty of evidence that they've released multiple years of their tax returns.

And Romney has yet to release his Selective Service records. Why is that, do you suppose?

Not nearly as telling as you trying to divert attention from Romney's tax returns.

Obama spent million$ of YOUR taxdollars to hide his birth certificate, then promoted his birth-certificate lawyer to the Supreme Court, which said no US citizen and no political candidate has standing to prevent an illegal alien from being president.

But since he was in CIA helping Al Qaeda and Bin Laden in Pakistan, he didn't have to attend college to get a degree.

Good luck to sheriff Joe poking the CIA with a sharp stick.

Maybe if some major network could get a seasoned, veteran reporter to whip up some 'fake but accurate' college documents, and release them right before the election, all this would just finally be settled?

Naww... stuff like that would NEVER happen in real life.

Nope, he's just been handed hundreds of thousands of dollars in "salary" for not working at the company he had nothing to do with. I think Tony Soprano called it a "no-show job".

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Obama's college records are meaningless, and obviously he's refusing to release them because they're nobody else's business. Also because whatEVER he releases, they will always be cries for more. Anyone with half a brain knows that.

Quote:
Meanwhile, the media are replete these days with stories about corporate CEOs making hundreds of millions by gaming the markets and exploiting the tax code. Which is why it behooves Romney to appreciate that it is a losing proposition for him to allow voters to harbor quite reasonable suspicions that he’s just another crooked, if not felonious CEO trying to hide his misdeeds.

By contrast, only nincompoop birthers or celebrity-worshipping schmucks who would buy swamp land in Florida from Trump would believe that the obviously intelligent Obama is refusing to release his college transcripts because he has something to hide.

That's it in a nutshell. College transcripts tell us little or nothing about a potential President; tax forms from someone who's using their "business acumen" as a selling point to put them in office are very valid.

Raptor should go back to listening to his conservative talk-radio nutjobs for more fodder, this one's completely dried up, just like Trump.

Good visuals, Mike, I especially liked the "forget about it" one.

College transcripts (or the lack thereof) tell us little or nothing about any potential candidate for ANY job, not just the president.

Along with at least 5 other failures at my Jr. College over 3 attempts, I failed Accounting 101 simply because I was too lazy at the time to go to the school heads and withdraw from the class after I stopped showing up for it.

I ran the accounting department for a retired House Rep for nearly 2 years and I've done my taxes and both of my brother's taxes going on a decade now.

Give me two weeks at any position anybody has in America that requires nothing more than a bachelors degree and I would replace the person who has the job currently.

That's not how the real world works though. Only in political fantasy land. I'll get by on my meager 8 dollar an hour part time job until I get my 3rd REAL opportunity in life.

That day will come......

Unless you did some serious post graduate schooling to REALLY make yourself indispensable somewhere, a Bachelors degree means no more than a GED after you get your foot in the door somewhere. Period....

I had a similiar situation to you. I went through two years of jr. college--the last year, I overslept and missed a Geology final, so I got an incomplete. I never bothered to go back and do anything about it, as I had moved on to communal living and never intended to continue college, but I suppose that might cause somewhat of a problem if I did attempt to continue at a four-year institution.

I picked up pretty much everything as well, and ended up as a desktop publisher, which I adored and still miss the hell out of. A smart person can work their way up, as you said, and a degree is good for getting IN that door, if little else, unless you want to get into a highly-specialized field.

There, see? I'm reading your post and responding. Hope that makes you happy, tho' it will never cease to mystify me... ;o)

Totally snark free...... Thanks for posting back Niki

Bummer about Geology. Was it a hangover or did your power go out?

Either way, what a way to go out. I'm sure a person with your intelligence wouldn't have had a problem doing well on that test.

It probably would have had netagive effects on your 4 year efforts. Though I scored uber-high in English and anything Computer related in community college, those failures would still haunt me. If I ever wanted a chance for a bachelors again, I think I'd just start a clean slate now that I'm in a new state. I think getting a few certificates in Welding, Electric, and Small Engine Repair though, would be much more beneficial to me in the long run.

So.... the "worth" of a Bachelors degree is something else we agree on. Finding something new practically every day Niki!

I've had about 20 jobs in my life now, but only 2 of them mattered. Besides a semester class in High School for Keyboarding, there hasn't been a single thing I've ever learned in school that helped make my jobs easier.

I did quite enjoy a lot of my English courses though. I was "forced" to read a lot of great novels and short stories I NEVER would have picked up unless they were required reading.

One that comes to mind now is "One Hundred Years of Solitude"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Hundred_Years_of_Solitude

Quote:
One Hundred Years of Solitude (Spanish: Cien años de soledad, 1967), by Gabriel García Márquez, is a novel that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founds the town of Macondo, the metaphoric Colombia. The non-linear story is narrated via different time frames, a technique derived from the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (as in The Garden of Forking Paths).

The widely acclaimed book, considered by many to be the author's masterpiece, was first published in Spanish in 1967, and subsequently has been translated into thirty-seven languages and has sold more than 20 million copies.[1][2] The magical realist style and thematic substance of One Hundred Years of Solitude established it as an important, representative novel of the literary Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s,[3] that was stylistically influenced by Modernism (European and North American), and the Cuban Vanguardia (Vanguard) literary movement.

Don't know how your free time is looking now Niki, or if you enjoy reading novels, but if you're looking for a meaningful read that you won't find on the NYT Bestseller's list, this is a great one that may or may have not been on Oprah's book of the month club.
