Trump: “Listen up, people. I have an announcement about the president. It turn out that back in...”
Dark Suit/Dark Glasses: “Excuse me, Mr. Trump. I’d like a word with you.”
Trump: “What da ya want?”
Dark Suit/Dark Glasses: (whispers to Trump)
Trump: “Is that how it is?”
Dark Suit/Dark Glasses: “That’s how it is.”
Trump: “Forget it. I challenge...”

These were interesting responses to CBS article:

t fully seems that Trump has these records already in his possession, but wants to punish Obama by making him disclose his records to the public himself.

Trump's October surprise will be to release the college records on October 31, just 6 days before the election so Barack has *no time* to respond. http://wtvr.com/2012/10/24/donald-trumps-big-reveal-against-pres-barack-obama/

I agree. My first take was: “Clever!”

Trump is the master of free PR, and this is brilliant. It costs him nothing, puts his own brand on the public stage in a historic context, and provides real political benefits.

There are millions of morons who have no idea that Zero has fought to keep his past secret. This will force the MSM to do their job and report the truth about Zero’s veiled (and presumably failed) past.

Too many people have never heard Freepers like us ask: “If Obama has nothing to hide in his academic and travel records, why is he spending millions to keep them secret?”

Now, the people will no more about the character of Obama. And the beauty of this October Surprise is that contrary to most dirty tricks which are released so late that the candidate doesn’t have time to respond, this give two weeks for the Obama crickets to chirp.

Why not just forge something?

Trump said he wanted Obama to give permission for them to be released from the schools and the government. He won’t accept another birth certificate pasted on a web page.

Nobody does snark quite like The Donald:

“I am very honored to have gotten President Obama to release his long form birth certificate, or whatever it was that he released.”


Had the same thought. Laugh at him on one issue, bait him on another....

Well done Donald.

Right out of their own playbook

Joseph Weisenthal of Business Insider deadpanned that “Today’s Gallup poll will be completely useless, since it will have been entirely conducted before the Trump offer.”

Eh, no big deal, but much better (less perilous) than the rumored Obama divorce papers.

I think this may have been the “Plan B” scenario, given that the Allred surprise seems to be insignificant and there’s been a days delay in the judges decision. He might be holding back on Plan A until the Allred thins is resolved.

Correct on all counts.

Fact is, Trump lied. Said he had something specific; which he didn't as most of us here predicted.
He is an attention whore.

Ditto...what you said.

It will look kind of suspicious if Obama does not release his records when a $5 million donation to the charity of his choice is on the line and he rejects it just to keep his records sealed.

But, I'm sure Axelrod will come up with some snarky response to Trump's challenge.

Maybe he decided to delay: “A decision on whether to unseal testimony by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the 1987 divorce proceedings of one of his closest friends has been postponed a day to allow the former Bay State governor and his attorneys to review the records. “

Trump should be more specific:

1. I will donate $5 million to Occidental in California, your first undergraduate college, if you release your Occidental records, especially your application form.

2. Or, I will donate $5 million to that Catholic school in Indonesia you attended while living with your mother and your stepfather Sotoreo (sp?) in Indonesia when you were around 10 years old.

Such statements might motivate Occidental officials and students and Indonesian officials and students to put pressure on Obama to accept Trump's offer.

“A lot of undecided voters might not even be aware of the fact that O’s college and passport application records are still under wraps. Now at least they’ll know.”

I agree, I have actually had some argue with me on Facebook that the squatter in chief has not had any records sealed.

How many people would not be willing to release their college records and passport information even if someone would contribute $5,0000,000 to their favorite charity if they did release them?

1. Obama
2. ....?

While I agree that at first glance this appears petty and childish, but if there is follow-ups with additional 5 million antes into the pot, it will start to draw attention to Obamie lack of transparency. As it drags on it can make a lot of buzz and make many wonder what is he hiding.
