McCain, in fact, refused to release his Military Academy transcripts (because, evidently, he graduated
in the bottom percentile of the class). One of his spokesmen defended this action and suggested
that the whole of McCain's military career should be viewed, not just the training portion of it.
In any event:

You are such a fancy guy with your POTUS. You must be a watcher of the West Wing. I'm surprised that it wasn't too liberal for you.

Secondly, like CinC, POTUS is a military term. I'm unsure how you draw the conclusion that I'm a Left Wing fan. Perhaps that's where you learned the term.

Our republican friend may have hair, but you....my demo friend...are HARE-brained! (I could not resist that...sorry) What does it matter if he was not a good student? He graduated, and that is better than many can do. I have heard that Einstein was a very poor student, by the way.
I don't care that McCain's academy transcripts weren't released. Who he was then isn't what I
would be voting for. It's his record in the Senate that is material, not the number of letters after
his name.
The reason I brought it up is because Republicans are crying because Obama will not release his
transcript from Columbia. Their whining about this fact is ironic because the Republican candidate
is not reciprocating in the very same way (yet, like you, they're not whining).
It's the hypocrisy that bothers me.

[One is a natural citizen if s/he is] a person born outside the geographical limits of the United
States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen
of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the
United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five
years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years...(which includes
time spent in the military...).
So, given that Obama's mother was indisputably an American citizen, even if she bore him in
Kenya (which nobody but nutcase conspiracy theorists believe), given that lived in America for
over five years (two of which were after 14), Obama is a natural citizen.
