Do you know of any other president that had to show his birth certificate after being elected or was it because of his name or his color
I don't maybe I missed one somewhere

Hi vector, out of mourning cloth yet? When you're born in Texas for example, and did not live in say Kenya for a number of years, your records though not public are nonetheless available. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that today as we have seen, everybody's business has become everybody's business. The following is a report on activity that occurred in the Kenyan Parliament in 2010.

"During debate over the draft of a new Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, the country’s minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America’s election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:"

There was at one point some question about the birth certificate deal.

Did anybody ask for Bill or Lil Bushbirth certificate or college transcripts after he was elected or has anyone ask Donald for his birth certificate or college transcripts which he would probably say they are also under audit
Or could it just be because of the color of his skin or his name

George W Bush was despised from the moment the SC ruled that the Florida vote count was valid. From that day forward the left painted him as a redneck cowboy from Texas. He was considered to be stupid and unworthy of the office. He hot zero slack from the media over the next 8 years, who laid in waiting to bushwhack the President at every turn.

The thing that troubled me about the situation was the media generated destruction was not limited to the reputation of the President alone. The well being of the country suffered equally. And frankly if you can forgive me, you are an example of their handiwork. People despised George W as the result of the media assault on his every motivation and personal value. And the only real reason for it was because he was a Republican. He graduated from YALE and HARVARD and that is verifiable.

The left's contempt was so great in fact, CBS Anchor Dan Rather was fired for fabricating a story making W look to have lied about his military service record. The press continually fanned the people's ire about the Florida election and Iranian weapons of mass destruction. But to answer your question directly. Yes, the left demanded to see W's transcripts. But what they don't talk about is the fact that his record was better than Al Gore or John Kerry.

Bottom line, W did release his transcripts, Obama? Not so much.
