Fuckabee Wants To Know If Obama Got College Loans "As A Foreign Student"

Wants To Know If Obama Got College Loans "As A Foreign Student"

O'REILLY: Because of the media, the perception is if you don't release [your tax returns], you're trying to hide something. Look, Romney doesn't want his tax returns in the hands of The New York Times because they're going to cherry-pick it and make him look like a greedhead and he doesn't want to give them any more ammo. You know what this is all about.

HUCKABEE: Absolutely. And the thing is you get zero credit from the media for releasing them and then you buy yourselves a lot of grief. The question is, why would you help load a gun that's pointed at your own head?

O'REILLY: Because the people, the folks, most of them, want you to. I think that's the answer to your question.

HUCKABEE: Well, but he has to forcefully tell it why he's not going to, why it's irrelevant, say, "Look, I've disclosed more than I need to." Let him make this challenge: "I'll release my tax returns when Barack Obama releases his college transcripts and the copy of his admission records to show whether he got any loans as a foreign student. When he releases that, talk to me about my tax returns."[/b]

Tax returns for tax returns. School records for school records. Birth certificate - cough it up, Romney. They keep pretending there is some deal that can be made.

AM radio station.

I was half paying attention (like to tune in to what they are talking about) and I thought it was part of the their actual news. I thought WTF - why is the newsman knocking Obama?

Then I heard the announcement that it was Muckaby. Ugh! How typically sneaky. I wonder how many dragger's heard that and thought it was part of the real "news." Its a seamless transition from one to the other which is just the way "Muck" wants it, I'm sure.

They're using the hatred of Obama to deflect the gun THAT THEY POINT AT THEIR OWN HEADS.

That's part of the Birther world of "facts".

It is, of course, stupid to anyone who's ever gotten near a college admission office, but it's pretty funny in a way - how had their fevered little imaginations will take them.

Gomer Huckabee has to release a youtube video of himself saying, "Golly!!! Shazaam!!!" That's a fair trade.

How many foreign students take out loans from US banks to attend American schools? Aren't the vast majority of them wealthy enough to pay for it on their own, or being funded by their own governments? Or, borrowing the money from banks in their own country?

Hucksterbee is a waste of human flesh, and I really don't know why anyone takes him seriously.

I picture the Republicans plopping one by one into the toilet, and President Obama with his hand poised over the flusher.

obviously he has a loose relationship with the truth. in fact, it's incredible that a pastor tries to fuck the truth and pretend like he's being faithful to it.

Did Bush release his college transcripts?

What kinds of loans are there for foreign students?

I haven't heard about that.
