At least the tax returns thing is based in some legitimate policy concerns - the economy, and the tax code, tbh.....

Also, when both candidates are exactly the same, nitpicking is unavoidable, tbh...

Re: Romney Says He Paid at Least 13% in Income Taxes

"debate about policy"

this week is all about GeckoRyanCare vs ObamaCare.

Gecko's extreme secrecy indicates something important about his character and persona life. Americans want and have a right to know about the man who could waste 1000s of their lives in bullshit wars like Iraq, Afganistan, etc. We already got screwed by the Repugs NOT saying their priority from 21 Jan 2001 was in to invade Iran for oil.

In GeckoWorld, Gecko is "entitled" to maintain extreme secrecy from You People

So naturally I can expect for you to call on Obama to release all if his college records to remove his "extreme secrecy" as well?

21st century American politics perfectly summarized right here.

Incredibly important: Knowing irrelevant details about the men who would make decisions on things like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not at all important: Knowing what the men actually think we should do about things like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Add to the "not at all import:" knowing the background and life experiences that inform the man's governing ideology...from sources other than a fictionalized autobiography.

If you think hyper-secretive Gecko is going to be more transparent in govt operations that Obama, or roll back NatSec/police intrusions increased under Obama, you're a fool.

You think a birth certificate and college transcript give you an in depth look into his psyche? What else would you like to know.

I don't see why any of this shit is relevant.

Sounds like we're in agreement that there really isn't any significant difference between Obama and Romney.

Well, for 7 years, from age 10-17, the predominant male figure in Barack Obama's life was a man named, Frank Marshall Davis. Barack Obama refers to him as a father figure in one of his autobiographies -- well, he gives him a pseudonym -- but, it's pretty much agreed he was referring to Frank Marshall Davis.

Do you know anything about him?

Just about every President or presidential candidate has had some biographical piece, on their life, that explores the history, life experiences, and influences that shaped the person that would become the most powerful person on the planet.

We know more about Mitt Romney's background than we do about Barack Obama's. Hell, the media just made a big deal, a couple of weeks ago, about Mitt Romney's high school report card.

Where's the curiosity about Barack Obama?

Where's the curiosity about Barack Obama's upbringing in Indonesia and how that impacted his worldview?

Where's the curiosity about Barack Obama's Kenyan roots, so prominently on display in his autobiography, and how that impacted his worldview?

Where's the curiosity about Barack Obama's Hawaiian upbringing and how that's impacted his worldview?

Where's the curiosity about Barack Obama's Chicago years and how that's impacted his worldview?

The man has led an interesting life, I'd like to see it covered by someone other than himself. Is that too much to ask? Why is every question about his past met with derision, skepticism, and wonder over why anyone would want to know?

There's HUGE difference in economic, health care, social policy, now that Gecko has sociopath Ryan to define his 99%-fucking program.

NatSec policy is made by the out-of-control, no-oversight NatSec, not by Presdients, just like MIC polic is.

There's no curiosity because that shit doesn't matter.

We constantly hear Slow Joe Biden invoke his father and his family, particularly his father, as the paragons of the values that inform his character.

Why is Obama's history any less relevant than any other politician's?

Not important.

Finding out if either one of these guys are bad tippers to wait staff, very important.

Comparing McCain's view on war from the viewpoint of a POW as an equivalent to inanities like "Where's the curiosity about Barack Obama's Hawaiian upbringing and how that's impacted his worldview?" is flawed. Fatally.
