hard to argue with logic like that.
No, he shouldn't do it because Trump wants him to. He should do it because $5 million would be going to help the poor people that he claims he cares so much about.

Is there one person on this board, liberal or conservative that wouldn't release their college transcripts if $5 million would go to the charity of their choice? It wouldn't matter who the person was offering the money. Why would that matter? I don't think any of us would care if Oprah made the offer, Donald Trump, or Bill Gates. Why would that matter? The only thing that would matter would be that $5 million was going to go to the charity of our choice. Who would turn down that offer?

I would turn it down.

So what you are suggesting is he doesn't care about poor people because he refuses to give Trump the attention he's seeking? That's pretty stupid.

You don't entertain offers from people like Trump. In doing so, you give them credibility and Trump has none. That's why he has to resort to lame stunts like this.

The longer you guys insist on making an issue out of a non issue...the more we lose track of what is really important. And in case you're wondering, it isn't what Obama's grades were in college.

They don't care about what's important, only care about making issues out of nothing if they think it makes Obama look bad...beat the Fox drums...

Trump doesn't actually care what Obama's grades were. Trump wants to see the college records because the records will tell where Obama was born.

The current wingbat cause is building up expectations for a Romney win, so that they can scream Obama stole the election.

Even though Romney has never lead in the electoral college in the past 6 months, and despite the trumpeting of his being "almost tied" in several swing states, has zero way to get to the win. The election has been over for at least a month.

It's outrageously sad, the vocalization and hype the internet gives to the conspiracy theorists, it's pathetic. Lets them all meet up and feed off each others paranoia and lies. Glen Beck, WND, Breitbart, all feed directly into it. The worse it's ever been in my lifetime, due to the internet.

About.com: "Is Barack Obama a secret Muslim?" debunks every wingnut conspiracy theory about that out since 2007 in their "urban legends" section.
http://urbanlegends.about.com/librar...ama_muslim.htm

PS: even if any candidate for president were a Muslim, that's not illegal in the USA - a Muslim can be elected president. The sad fear and hate of Muslims in this country is simply hate and bigotry stoked by 9-11 and George Bush. We have Muslims in Congress, you know. GASP!
