Look no matter were Obama was born. He is still ONE BIG ASS MISTAKE AMERICA!!! Trump is in the right to demand his BC! Although I do queastion Trump's actions, and I don't buy into Trump doing it for the people. He's it for persnal gain I think. The reason why I hate Obama, and never voted for him. Was because of what MLK once said. Judge people on thier actions, and not the color of thier skin.

Its is shameful behavior on the part of Donald Trump. How many Presidents before Barack Obama has Trump asked to publish their school records?

@stevep67 Funny - when he proposed the deep cuts needed the GOP said NO. And FYI, if I can find the video I'll post it but 3 news outlets did the math - even if you cut spending to NOTHING you won't be able to save enough to pay off the debt. That's why NO ONE CARES about this subject. I think you & the average American does b/c you haven't done the math - but once you do you realize it's all funny money & your debt decrease by a penny - I'll find the video -- stay tuned

@JamesWright10PHR I'm no fan of the health care system. Both parties failed in lowering health care costs. Once again, more spending. Nobody wants to tighten their belts - everybody wants theirs. Our debt is unpayable, and they keep spending. Where's Obama's call to cut the $1 Trillion defense budget? The dollar's on the verge of collapse, and we're done. Stop spending. And, I'll call your bet on history's view of Obama's spending.

@stevep67 Well, sit back & get ready for 4 more my friend! :) That I'm 300% sure you can count on!

@JamesWright10PHR Many thousands of people cared. But it's easier to shine the light on Bush than to look at Obama. The fact of the matter is that Bush increased the size of government more than any before him, and sent us into 2 unprovoked wars, Patriot Act, yada yada yada. No one was more angry than me at GWB - worst pres in history. But Obama has made Bush look like a penny pincher.
