Right Change: Tables Turned On Obama

While the White House is publicly distancing itself from Harry Reid’s accusations about Mitt Romney’s tax returns, a former “classmate” of Barack Obama has some ‘accusations’ of his own. In White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has suggested that this is all about “transparency” and Mr. Romney could end it in 10 seconds by releasing 10 years worth of tax returns. This is ironic coming from what many have argued is the most secretive American President in modern day history.

According to The Blaze, Wayne Allyn Root is a 1983 graduate of Columbia College, and a former classmate of Barack Obama. Root was a political science and pre-law major, which is the same degree that Barack Obama claims to have received from Columbia. There is only one problem, Root doesn’t remember ever knowing, seeing or hearing of any Barack Obama – formerly known as Barry Soetoro. Root also claims that no one that he knows from Columbia remembers Barack Obama.

He doubles down on this claim by citing the Wall Street Journal report that recounts the Fox News interviews with 400 Columbia University “classmates” of Obama. The 400 interviews did not turn up one person who knew Barry Soetoro.

Now Root makes his living by his “gut feeling” as the most successful Las Vegas odds maker ever. He even has a star on the Vegas Walk of Stars for his success. His gut feeling on this issue is that it is not due to poor grades or a lack of attendance that Obama has sealed his records. After all, he did get into Harvard Law School. So what could it be?

Root believes it is because he was accepted as a foreign exchange student. Everyone knows Obama was raised for a considerable portion of his youth in Indonesia. Root believes that if the Columbia transcripts were uncovered several things would come to light:

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 foreign students.

Again, these points are solely based on Mr. Root’s speculation of the President as an ’83 graduate of Columbia with Barack Obama. Is any of this fact? It’s uncertain to determine, but just like the President’s birth certificate, questions will continue to loom as long as there is not full disclosure to the American people. Is there any credibility to the attacks on Mitt Romney’s tax returns? Sure, but it needs to be put into perspective. Has Mitt Romney broken the law? The answer is, absolutely not. If he did, IRS agents would have already paid him a visit.

The Mitt Romney tax return issue is nothing but a distraction proliferated by the White House and political talking heads like Harry Reid to distract from the disastrous reality that is the Obama record. It is time for Romney to change the narrative and shoot back at the Obama camp. With record high unemployment, trillions in deficits each year, and the dramatic expansion of the welfare state, this should be a no brainer for conservatives and independents alike to rally behind the Romney camp to defeat President Obama in November.
