As my wuber friend, RichieLion, would say about this post - just another feeble attempt of trying to divert the question. Sorry, Bucco, it does not fly. Attempt to discredit the President when your candidate has already been totally discredited does not work. :loco:

sorry, buggyone, can't agree here. bringing up a romney issue such as this begs for a tit-for-tat response. in this case, the newspaper [obama campaign?] is attempting to discredit romney; and has since run into a prob since one of those alleged to have been at the scene personally denies the event. same cannot be said about the high school drinking and dope smoking by obama since it was personally written by himself in his memoir! can't claim that it did not happen - unless the pres can come up with another lame excuse like he has re julia, the composite.

now, THAT speaks to obama's character!

Mitt Romney organized a posse to attack and humiliate another student he perceived as gay while he was in prep school in the 1960's. While holding the student down, Romney cut his hair off while the student screamed for help.

Romney started out the day saying he didn't remember the incident, then switched to a 'mistakes were made' apology. This story has been corroborated by several others who were there at the time. Unfortunately, the victim has since died.

If President Obama had been involved in an incident of this nature while in high school, everyone at Fox News would need smelling salts.

Romney Apologizes For Bullying In Prep School, Says He Didn't Know Victim Was Gay

Not sure how much relevance this really has as it was many years ago. I agree with you janmcn about Fox News. They'd have this on 24/7. Character is important but so is forgiving mistakes people have made when very young. That's why they seal juvenile records because teens can grow up to be good citizens.

I am all for it....couple problems....much of Obama's past is shrouded in mystery or as in the case of at least his college grades...he will not release them. And on others like his associations with dubious characters he just denies and press drops it.

But explain to me what HIGH SCHOOL activities have to do with vetting ?

For example I would never bring up that Obama has changed his stance on same sex marriages...THREE times on the record.....2004...2008....2012. Now lets vet that a bit and see what might be the common factor...OH..WAIT, they were all election years !!!!!

PS...I might add that I used to vet candidates for a living many years ago. No need to explain what it means

We have revelations to present on Obama's sordid activities in High School, such as his association with communists, the black nationalism movement, and his rampant drug use.

Lefties better beware the direction they want to take this process.
