Obama Columbia classmate: Romney should call Obama's bluff!

The Blaze   "By attacking Romney’s tax records, Obama’s socialist cabal creates a problem that doesn’t exist. Is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader making up stories out of thin air? You decide. But the reason for this baseless attack is clear- make Romney defend, so not only is he “off message” but it helps the media ignore the real Obama scandal.
"My answer for Romney? Call Obama’s bluff.

"Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if Obama unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt should ask “What could possibly be so embarrassing in your college records from 29 years ago that you are afraid to let America’s voters see? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s something the voters ought to see.” Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is on the defensive."

"If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that: A) He rarely ever attended class. B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School. C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student. D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia."If you think I’m 'fishing' then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of? 

Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II (morph sequence)

This is an absolutely exquisite video tribute to Queen Elizabeth II that traces her life from infancy to the present. As someone who can barely blog properly, I am overwhelmed by the beauty of the "morphing" done by the creator of this video. I cannot comprehend what it took to do this. TD

Liars, Damned Liars, and Harry Reid (Updated with great irony)

American Thinker  "Deriving from legal sources like the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 6, this "safe harbor" to slander and defame shamelessly is known as the "legislative privilege."  At its finest, the legislative privilege exists to assure unfettered debate, permitting robust criticism of government without fear of being sued for tortious defamation.  However, Harry Reid does not embody its finest.  Note that Harry Reid, when speaking outside the safety of the legislative chamber, speaks of having heard rumors about Mitt Romney but never states outright that Mitt Romney cheated on taxes except when Reid is on the Senate floor, artificially protected from being sued as a "dirty liar."  Thus, he not only is a "dirty liar," but he is also a coward.  If the lines at Chick-fil-A are too long, you can always find at least that one chicken in the United States Senate."   (emphasis added.

Turban or not, these people could not be more innocent of what they have been accused by ignorant people.

UK Guardian; Sikhs say attacks on community are 'collateral damage' of 9/11

"Sometimes they call you a Muslim or Bin Laden. It's the way they say it. They are not fair to everybody," said Singh who immigrated from India 14 years ago. "But I have not seen violence before. We did not expect it. We are peaceful. We open our arms to everyone."

Sikhs reel after 'senseless' attack: We're not Taliban  "That turban has tragically marked us as automatically suspect, perpetually foreign and potentially terrorists," Valarie Kaur, a filmmaker who has chronicled attacks on Sikhs in the 2006 documentary "Divided We Fall," told the AP"

'Call Obama's bluff!'

Thomas Lifson;  "President Obama has now placed the documentary history of a presidential candidate on  the table as a legitimate demand. His stooge Harry Reid has demanded 10 years of financial documentation from Mitt Romney.  Wayne Root, who was Obama's class of '83 classmate  at Columbia and a Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee,  lays out very clearly how Mitt Romney can spring a trap on the Obama campaign's desperate gambit.
