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:
Youve 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 Obamas educational history. You were, however, quite interested in George Bushs transcripts.
This uncharacteristic absence of curiosity about an American president alarms us. At $15 trillion, our nations debt is the highest it has ever been-aaand it keeps growing. Were 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.

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...

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