Donald Trump is a whack, I hope Obama shows him his College record and passport just to shut him up, once and for all.

The President has other tihngs to do than to cater to Donald Trump.

The passport thing, by the way, is supposed to show that Obama gave up his American citizenship by traveling to Pakistan in 1981 on an Indonesian passport.


Even if he did, 8 USC 1481 does not list "acquiring a foreign passport" as one of the acts which constitute a relinquishment of US citizenship. And even if it had, 8 USC 1481 also requires that the action be undertaken with the intent of relinquishing one's US citizenship, which there's nothing to suggest that was the case.

Because President Obama holds the most influential office in the modern world (If not the whole world). It's only fair that the public should be able to know as much about him as we want (Within reason, I think). There's no reason his college records should be classified anyway, unless he has something to hide. I could be wrong about that point though.


They're not "classified"; everyone's educational records are protected by FERPA from being disclosed without the individual's consent.

Yes, I realize that, someone corrected me on that and I apologize.

I still hold that there is no legitimate reason for him not to release the records.

And he has no freaking reason to release his records.
There is no legitimate reason for you to not release your high school records, yet we dont expect you to do so.

Donald Trump has offered to donate five million dollars to a charity of Obama's choice no less than one hour after President Obama releases his College records and applications along with his passport records and applications before October 31 at 5:00 PM. Will Obama take Trump up on the offer?

I personally don't think Obama will, but I am glad Donald Trump is doing this. What do you think?


I think Donald Trump is a ridiculous waste of space.

I don't care about Obama's college records. At all. Just like I don't care about Romney's transcripts, or whether Ronald Reagan was best in his class at finger painting. It's utterly irrelevant.

1. Release records.
2. Donald Trump either coughs up the $5 million or renegs and looks like an ass.
3. Obama can not only claim a victory for transparency but also charitable giving.

Brilliant plan.

Donald Trump always looks like an ass. The release the records when Romney releases his tax returns and every previous presidential candidate releases similar records to the ones The Donald wants.

This is Donald Trump big, gigantic, earth-shattering Wednesday announcement that he has been trying to hype? It's not even a made-up case of out of context and old public record information. No, it's completely irrelevant bullshit that is... nothing.

At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.
