PLUS FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS. No president in the history of the country ever increased the national debt this much in ANY NUMBER OF TERMS. b.o. has done it in less than ONE TERM.

Unemployment rate 1/20/2009 7.8%, Now 8.1% after 9 million people have stopped looking for work since Jan 2009. ADD them to that 8.1% and see what the percentage is then.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 133,561,000 people were working in Jan 2009. Today 132,989,000 have jobs. That's 572,000 still not working. b.o. claims in his campaign ads that he has created 4.2 million jobs.
1., 4,2 million jobs created at a cost of $5 TRILLION in new debt is $1.2 million dollars per job.

AND
2., Since 572,000 still aren't employed, while he was creating 4,200,000 jobs, 4,772,000 were being LOST.


THIS is the "transcript" that b.o. wants to hide with his "FORWARD" campaign. He sure doesn't want anyone looking back at his record.

All completely reasonable and rational facts for voters to consider.

Which is why this angst about what his grades were in college or how Obama got into Columbia is so hilarious.

So go ahead and post them ... or (*)(*)(*)(*)!

Actually, you make a good point! Both Romney and Obama should put everything out for all to see!

I wish that every time Romney appears in public he would hold a simple, direct copy of his birth certificate in one hand, and his school transcripts, Social Security number, and Selective Service Registration in the other hand. He should begin every appearance by saying, "Hi, everyone, I'm Mitt Romney, a natural born citizen of the United States of America, running for the presidency, and here is PROOF of who I am and my years before adulthood!" Can you imagine the look on Obama's face if Romney did this? Priceless! .

I would love it if Romney would do that too! Considering that the public has shown absolutely no interest in any of those things Mitt would look pretty whacky. More importantly, it would divert attention from the economy- which Mitt is actually trying to run is campaign on- and is something the voters actually care about.

The more Birthers stomp their feet, the more it help President Obama. The poster before you listed some very legitimate reasons why voters may base their 'no' votes on Obama. Obama would love to have voters focusing on things that he can explain much easier than the economy.

If (1) you represent the typical Romney supporter, and (2) you genuinely think this is a good idea, it's looking like four more years of Obama.

hey the college records should be released along with romney's taxes.

there is still a little hope within me that this is a trick by romney to outflank david axelrose in chicago......

too bad the records are at columbia and not the whitehouse where they would just leak out so we could see them.

if they were military secrets or something that helped obama we'd have sen them long ago.

maybe that dirtbag jullian assange (wkileaks) will release them. he'd stab his mother in the back for a quarter.

or the new york times, we know they would sell out their country for a quarter. they already used eminent domain to destroy people's lives in new york city.

there's no political honor left in this country. i don't think an election can fix that.

I don't care how he got into Columbia, I want to get him out of the White house.

Not according to either Columbia or Harvard.

Brian Connolly, Columbia Spokesman

A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades is sealed. A program from the 1983 graduation ceremony lists him as a graduate.


From Harvard Law Admissions:

As a general guideline, most admitted applicants demonstrate potential for success in law school through an exceptional undergraduate academic record, LSAT scores in the top percentiles and substantial accomplishments in work or extracurricular activities; however, no one of these aspects of an applicant’s file is dispositive in the admissions decision.

Our assessment includes many factors such as work experience and demonstrated leadership, and also intangible qualities such as energy, ambition, sound judgment, ability to overcome adversity, high ideals, and concern for the welfare of others. Our admissions committee seeks not only to identify and recognize characteristics that are important to academic success in law school, but also qualities that will contribute diversity of perspective and experience, general excellence, and vitality to the student body.

Since both of the current candidates for President were admitted and graduated from Harvard Law- apparently Harvard must be doing something right.
