Transcripters: Our nation's debt is at $15 trillion, so we need to see Obama's college transcripts

Witness the rise of the transcripters. These are the folks demanding to see Obama college transcripts to prove...well...ummm....who the hell knows.

Some guy is now offering $20,000 for Obama's college transcripts. Here's some of his statement:

<...>
You’ve had over three years to vet President Barack Obama. Yet in three years in office and over a year of campaigning beforehand, you have either been oddly uninterested or purposefully ignorant of Barack Obama’s educational history. You were, however, quite interested in George Bush’s transcripts.

This uncharacteristic absence of curiosity about an American president alarms us. At $15 trillion, our nation’s debt is the highest it has ever been-aaand it keeps growing. We’re not convinced that Barack is as smart as you media elitists keep insisting he is.

We therefore offer in reward $20,000 to anyone who provides the college transcripts of President Barack Obama.

Did you get that? The United States is $15 trillion in debt thanks to things like the 2008 financial crisis, wars and the Bush tax cuts...so we need to see Obama's college transcripts.

...meeting minutes from the Cheney* secret energy meetings. The Cheney* secret energy meeting information is far more germaine to the United States' $15 trillion debt than are President Obama's college transcripts.

Because, you know, he's so "stupid". As this shitstain says, he want to prove that "Barack is as smart as you media elitists keep insisting he is." And, somehow, this will "prove" he's a "fraud". It's just more of their bullshit like the claims that he was born in Kenya, and is a Muslim, and never held a real job...

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Because a president who graduated from Harvard Law with a J.D. magna cum laude* must have questionable academic credentials.

Let's do release those transcripts, then point and laugh as they're compared to those of his moronic critics.
