'New York Post' Runs Boldest Anti-Obama Ad Yet

I'm not a TRUMP fan. In various posts through the years we have pointed out his hypocrisy in business, his many bankruptcies, etc. But, I don't disagree with him here. No, this wasn't the bombshell he promised, but it's still a legitimate question.
I mean, why. Why hasn't he released his college records. He's the only President not to do so. What is he hiding. I thought it was a legit question when people ripped Romney about not releasing his tax records, and I think these are legit questions from Trump.
This is not about the birth certificate in any way. This is about whether he gamed the system, and applied to U.S. universities as a foreign student. And even if it's true, it won't bother me much compared to his global drone killings, love for Wall Street, etc.
Trump is right. It's about transparency.
I'm with you. I don't care the least about the birth certificate. His mother was a U.S. citizen, born and raised, and to me that's enough. I think he was born in Hawaii, but if he happened to be born in Kenya, so what. Again, his mother was a citizen, and so was he. John McCain wasn't born in the U.S. and he was still certified for election last time. So, I could care less. It's the hidden college records that have always pissed me off, for a President who boasts about his incredible record on transparency.
Born in Kenya: Obama's Literary Agent Misidentified His Birthplace

Here is why I think all of his college records have been kept hidden. I believe Obama applied to U.S. schools as a foreign student in order to qualify for scholarships, notably a Fulbright. There is some evidence to this out there. And he continued with this story (foreign student) well into his late 20s/early 30s, which is why his author's bio shows that he was born in Kenya, a bio that Obama most likely wrote himself at the request of the publisher.
This would go along way toward explaining the hidden college records and the Fulbright report from the first undergraduate program he attended in California (can't remember which school). But this is really just a guess, and should be treated as such.

First time he has gone into the lead on the Reuters poll. This is going to be damn close. Let's hope it doesn't end in an electoral college tie. Then it would be decided by the House. That would get ugly.

Government Regulator Sues Wall Street Banks For Fraud In Subprime Mortgage Deals

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac won’t be allowed to reduce loan balances for troubled borrowers
The federal regulator for government-backed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac said Tuesday that he will not allow the firms to reduce loan balances of struggling homeowners, frustrating the Obama administration as it looks for ways to boost a floundering economy.
Edward J. DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), said the agency’s analysis showed no sure-fire financial benefit to letting some mortgage holders reduce their loan amounts. He also warned that such a move could cause some borrowers to default intentionally in hopes of getting taxpayer aid.
