I watch the Fox News program The Five. If you watch the news at all you know that Dem Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid has been railing on GOP Presumptive Nominee Mitt Romney’s tax returns claiming he has not paid taxes. Reid includes in the accusation to prove the old Senator from Nevada wrong by releasing all his tax returns.
The Five’s sole Liberal blow hard Bob Beckel has been emphasizing Reid’s propaganda. Evidently former Libertarian VP Nominee for 2008 Wayne Allyn Root went to Columbia U with Obama. Root says that Obama should release the sealed College records if Obama has nothing to hide. Eric Bolling and the other Conservative hosts on The Five have been rebutting Beckel with this the same idea that Root has brought up. Beckel deceptively plays the Conservative retort off as who cares what anyone did in High School. The thing is we are not talking about High School in Hawaii. We are talking Obama’s young adulthood as a student at Columbia U.

I pray Romney is smart enough to talk about Obama’s sealed past if the Obama political machine insists on running a National Election like a local Chicago style crooked and dirty election. After all dirty politics is how Obama advanced his political career (See HERE and HERE and HERE). The dirty politics was in eliminating political rivals that under normal circumstances would have defeated Obama. BHO eliminated his rivals by exposing embarrassing information that made a rival unelectable. The irony here is that Obama has tons of secrets that he is keeping from the public and for some reason the Republican Party has failed to jump on this. My guess is that McCain would have beat Obama in 2008 if he would have jumped on Obama’s past that Obama has so diligently kept secret. (Although now I am convinced that a McCain Presidency would have been the demise of the Republican Party with the Conservative Tea Party base leaving the GOP to form a Third Party to rival the GOP for 2012.)
If Romney wants to win in 2012 he has to step on Obama’s secrets as much as Obama is trying to assassinate Romney’s character. Obama knows he can’t win on his record as November 6th approaches for voters to make their decision. The only way Obama can win reelection is by politically destroying Romney.
A friend of mine sent an article Root wrote for The Blaze. This Blaze article needs to go viral as a - tit-for-tat: You kill my dog I’ll kill your cat – against the Obama political machine.

Obama’s College Classmate: ‘The Obama Scandal Is at Columbia’
August 6, 2012 at 10:28am
I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I am also one of the most accurate Las Vegas odds makers and prognosticators. Accurate enough that I was awarded my own star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to bring down his presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years since graduating Columbia.
Obama and his infamous strategist David Axelrod understand how to play political hardball, the best it’s ever been played. Team Obama has decided to distract America’s voters by condemning Mitt Romney for not releasing enough years of his tax returns. It’s the perfect cover. Obama knows the best defense is a bold offense. Just keep attacking Mitt and blaming him for secrecy and evasion, while accusing him of having a scandal that doesn’t exist. Then ask followers like Senator Harry Reid to chase the lead. The U.S. Senate Majority Leader appears to now be making up stories out of thin air, about tax returns he knows nothing about. It’s a cynical, brilliant, and vicious strategy. Make Romney defend, so he can’t attack the real Obama scandal.
This is classic Axelrod. Obama has won several elections in his career by slandering his opponents and leaking sealed documents. Not only do these insinuations and leaks ruin the credibility and reputation of Obama’s opponents, they keep them on the defensive and off Obama’s trail of sealed documents.
By attacking Romney’s tax records, Obama’s socialist cabal creates a problem that doesn’t exist. Is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader making up stories out of thin air? You decide. But the reason for this baseless attack is clear- make Romney defend, so not only is he “off message” but it helps the media ignore the real Obama scandal.
My answer for Romney? Call Obama’s bluff.
Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if Obama unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt should ask “What could possibly be so embarrassing in your college records from 29 years ago that you are afraid to let America’s voters see? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s something the voters ought to see.” Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is on the defensive.
My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about Mitt’s tax returns ever again.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama.
Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving as President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records. Shouldn’t the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as Romney’s? Shouldn’t they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has written about himself–with the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?
The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up. (Emphasis Mine)
Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed? (Emphasis Mine)
Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have to maintain good grades?
I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.
Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not. (Emphasis Mine)
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia. (Emphasis Mine)
If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?
If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a fishing expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely nothing about them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the same thing. But as Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I have more standing to make educated guesses.
It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff. (Emphasis Mine)
