[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Obama has set a precedent by refusing to release his college records. If he is allowed to hide information that is commonly released by candidates, then I think he will have a hard time not looking hypocritical in this case.

There should be a standard list of documents, which everyone has to release and if they don't, they get disqualified.[/quote]

I realize that there are pepple who post on this board who think that Princeton, Harvard and Columbia are the be-all-and-end-all, but I couldn't give a fig what Barrack Obama's grades were (and especially what Michelle Obama, who is not a candidate, wrote or did not write in here Princeton thesis).  I also don't care how Romney did in college, B-school or law school, and I don't even care about his immature hazing of a classmate at his Cranbrook prep school.  If we were electing 24 year old candidates for president, then I suppose a college transcript and writings might matter more.  George W. Bush essentially convinced much of the country not to hold him accountable for what he did before he was 40, simply saying that "when I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible."

Tax returns do matter for candidates, so that compliance and conflicts can be analyzed.  This is especially true in Romney's case, in which he has put forward his business record as the reason to elect him President.  Oh, yeah, and the Salt Lake Olympics.  (Romney doesn't talk about his tenure as Massachusetts governor and the health care law that became the template for the Affordable Care Act, but never mind...)[/quote]
