Why would anyone even imply the President of the United States in un-American? Tea party extremism is not the only way our country works. Senseless wars are un American. Unprovoked wars are un American. Over half the country voted for Obama. Is that un American? I really dislike Conservatives defining for me what is American and what is not. I was told in earlier posts that liberals were un American. This is hogwash. You have social security, medicare, VA, etc., because of liberals. I may be ideologically different from you, but, I love this country as much as anyone does and want to see it prosper. Don't call other people's views un American just because you disagree with them.
Because of his ties to radicals. if you are too blind to see it, that is your problem. Most people that voted for him, including white people did so so they could say they voted for the first black president.
I didn't vote for him because he was black. I voted for him because he was head and shoulders above GWB.

But you wouldn't believe the people I hear say that they voted for him because he's black. So many students have told me that their parents voted for him because he was black not because they thought he was better than Bush but it was the color of his skin. Sad.
The second reason I hear is because he was going to give them free healthcare, and make sure they got money from the rich.

You have to wonder why someone would go to the trouble and expense to have his college records sealed.
I would guess obamas college records are a lot more interesting than Romney's tax returns.
The liberal media is uninterested.....go figure!
The suspicion regarding Romney's undisclosed tax returns is that they show that he manipulated the tax code to reduce his tax liability to single digit percentage rates and that he utilized ethically questionable tax dodges to do so.
The suspicion regarding Obama's college transcript is that he manipulated his status as a racial minority and a "foreign student" from Indonesia to gain admission to colleges that he didn't qualify for academically, to obtain financial aid, and to mitigate poor scholastic performance.
Frankly, I think that both allegations are, generally speaking, true, and I think that the American people deserve to have the information made public so that they can make an informed choice.
However, the fact that the media has more interest in the former story has nothing to do with a biased perspective, Romney's taxes are simply a much bigger story.
If the college transcripts prove he's a liar and manipulator. I find it strange that so many people never saw him. I think that's a bigger issue than Romney's past returns.
Every minority member who has ever applied to college, matriculated in college, or applied for grants-in-aid has manipulated his status. Not only is it legal, it's s.o.p.
As for being a foreign student, Obama could simply let his record of having both Kenyan and Indonesian fathers speak for itself without ever asserting his foreignness.
On the other hand, Romney may have manipulated the tax code in a manner that is unavailable to all but a tiny percentage of stupendously wealthy Americans, and brought his liability down to a figure that was never contemplated by the law's framers. Additionally, his choice of tax dodges would be hugely informative of his notion of fairness and loyalty.

He didn't run against GWB.
I didn't say he did. But, we had just come from that disastrous 8 years. And, I knew McCain had morphed into something I didn't recognize. I used to be quite fond of McCain.
