Donald Trump making silly demands of Obama again

Trump tries to help Romney and put Obama on defensive about his obvious affirmative action hand outs. The mediocre student who was bought into Wharton by his father knows something about this sort of thing.

Trump Calls For Release Of Obama’s College Transcripts, Again

Donald Trump responded to question about Mitt Romney’s taxes by raising the issue of President Obama’s college transcripts, saying that Mitt Romney should release more of his tax returns when President Obama releases his college “applications and records,” in an interview on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. Trump said that Romney releasing two years of returns was enough and that he understands not wanting to release more because the Democrats use the information they find to make him look bad.

Trump hit the issue of Obama’s college transcripts several times in the interview – which he has done repeatedly in the past as well. Trump said that if he were running for president, he would promise to release any amount of tax returns in exchange for Obama’s grades.

Am sure the independent voters are enthralled by your blabbering gibberish worthy of the freak show that you are.

NOT.

And what an idiotic demand. Are you saying that we need to see how Obama did in Chemistry Class his sophomore year to determine if he's fit to be president? Let's check Abraham Lincoln's college transcripts. How about Bill Gates' while we're at it?

And here's what I find interesting. The party that seems to court low-IQ voters is not proclaiming that book-learnin' is so important that if you didn't get good marks in ciphering' and spellin' that you can't be president. Watch out there, fellas, you're about to offend your base.

Just had lunch at one of this small town's eateries and listened to a couple of women ranting about Obama and how he hasn't released any records, including his transcripts. And they are positive his birth certificate is not legit. Not knowing good details to launch a retort I just listened, but it was pretty awful. I was sure I was hearing FOX and/or the local "talk radio" station's talking points. They hate him as much or more than we ever hated W.

They wanted his birth certificate, he showed it to them over and over, they still don't believe. Yet they want him to show them more stuff they can disbelieve.

He is stupid after all.
Previously when he got punked by President O I thought he'd just got caught up in the times, running or thinking of running for pres and all but not to be, he really is stooopid.

He is soooooo irrelevant and stupid that it is a shame. A few months ago he was thinking of running for president, because he didn't like the field , now he embraces Rmoney. He should join Rmoney on the ticket then he can reveal all his bankrupcy filings.

I'm not surprised by this. If we're going to ask Mitt to release things that aren't required, why should we complain if the Repugs ask the same thing?

That's an interesting take.
