    I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I
    am also one of the most accurate Las Vegas oddsmakers and
    prognosticators. Accurate enough that I was awarded my own star on the
    Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama
    has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden
    at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to bring down his
    presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years since graduating Columbia.

    Obama and his infamous strategist David Axelrod understand how to play political hardball, the best its ever been played. Team Obama has
    decided to distract America’s voters by condemning Mitt Romney for not releasing enough years of his tax returns. It’s the perfect cover. Obama
    knows the best defense is a bold offense. Just keep attacking Mitt and
    blaming him for secrecy and evasion, while accusing him of having a
    scandal that doesn’t exist. Then ask followers like Senator Harry Reid
    to chase the lead. The U.S. Senate Majority Leader appears to now be
    making up stories out of thin air, about tax returns he knows nothing
    about. It’s a cynical, brilliant and vicious strategy. Make Romney
    defend, so he can’t attack the real Obama scandal.

    This is classic Axelrod. Obama has won several elections in his career
    by slandering his opponents and leaking sealed documents. Not only do
    these insinuations and leaks ruin the credibility and reputation of
    Obama’s opponents, they keep them on the defensive and off Obama’s trail
    of sealed documents.

    By attacking Romney’s tax records, Obama’s socialist cabal creates a
    problem that doesn’t exist. Is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader making up stories out of thin air? You decide. But the reason for this baseless
    attack is clear- make Romney defend, so not only is he “off message” but
    it helps the media ignore the real Obama scandal.

    My answer for Romney? Call Obama’s bluff.

    Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of
    the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if
    Obama unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt
    should ask “What could possibly be so embarrassing in your college
    records from 29 years ago, that you are afraid to let America’s voters
    see it? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s something the voters ought to see.” Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is on the defensive.

    My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about
    Mitt’s tax returns ever again.

    Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United
    States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.

    If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia
    University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at
    Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political
    Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro).
    I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia has ever met him, saw him, or heard
    of him.

    But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008
    that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never
    found one who had ever met Obama.

    Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving
    as President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records. Shouldn’t the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as Romney’s? Shouldn’t they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has written about himself–with the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?

    The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you
    seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not
    release the records? He’s President of the free world, for gosh sakes.
    He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem?
    Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.

    Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted
    to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at
    Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again
    those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep
    them sealed?

    Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from
    a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he
    not have to maintain good grades?

    I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.

    Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both
    Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as
    a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a
    U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii
    or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever
    change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.

    If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d
    find that:

    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 a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.

    If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?

    If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a
    fishing expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely nothing about them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the
    same thing. But as Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I
    have more standing to make educated guesses.

    It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff.
