As opposed to Sarah Palin who released her transcripts from all 5 colleges she attended? Right? Come on. His transcripts were sealed just before he announced his bid for the presidency just like every politician who ever ran for public office. Why?
If they can trash his pastor, a man who served in the Marines, Navy Medical corp and received three White House commendations, and received an honorable discharge during Vietnam, imagine what could they do with Obama's transcripts?
Even still, we know Palin received a D in economics. We know that McCain graduated 5th from the bottom out of 899 graduating class. We know Bush was a C minus student. Palin told us and Bush told us. McCain boasted about his being at the bottom. Republicans seem to be proud of failure. Go figure.

Wright trashed himself with his hatefilled, racist, marxist-based preaching. Otherwise, Obama wouldn't have thrown him under the bus. His military service, while commendable, does not erase or lessen his beliefs.
Obama's transcripts would show which classes he took and which marxist professors he admired and sought out. I'd love to read some of his papers from these classes. I can see why he'd want to keep that under wraps. Might look bad.
I'm guessing most against Wright don't have the first clue about things he said. A great example is how often he got attacked for saying 9/11 was our foreign policy chickens coming home to roost. Can I ask all of you something? When was the first time you heard that? Was it when Wright was credited as saying it? Do you know he was only repeating what a former US Ambassador had stated on Fox News? Yet somehow so so so so many people somehow believed it was simply Wright. Pick your own source.

Nationalists hate Wright because he is a Brother in Christ who does not put America above God. I don't agree with everything he said but to call him a racist just shows how ignorant people can be when they decide to let their emotions run their mouth instead of doing something crazy like a little homework.
I defend Wright because Fox and Hannity (who has zero national service) and Billo (same plus a sexual harassment law suit for that "Bold Fresh Steaming Piece of Inanity"). However, Wright has said some things I have been very critical off. Of course, one of them is that he did throw Obama under the bus AND attempted to bring harm. I believe it was jealousy, plain and simple.
The difference with some Democrats and many Republicans is the "black and white" issue. And I am NOT talking race. Many, if not most Republicans see things in terms of black and white, good and evil, wrong or right. They can't see shades of gray.
Take Iraq for instance. Republicans have decided it was a "good" thing and that's it, end of story. The truth is there was good and bad.
The good:
Saddam was removed from power.
A "kind of" democracy was established.
Under the constitution women are eligible for a third of parliamentary seats
The bad:
The Christian population was annihilated and their churches burned
Women were sent back to the Dark Ages
Women can't get out and campaign so the seats don't mean anything
Women can't go anywhere without a male escort
The educated have been chased out of the country
The Constitution makes Islam the "National Religion"
All legislation is based on Islam by constitution
All the different factions of religion are now killing each other
The nations infrastructure has been leveled
Our invasion has given al Qaeda a foothold into the country
After destroying their own Christian population, they will never be friends with us, never.
They have a hundred billion in oil money in our banks, but we are obligated to rebuild their country. We will let Republicans figure out why that is.
Republicans will see only the good and refuse to see the bad.
A realist will balance the two.
As an engineer, there is one major rule - "Go where the data leads". What does the data say about Iraq?
