Carney Asked Why Obama Won't Release College Transcripts

 

ED HENRY, FOX NEWS:

You've said before from the podium that the Presidents spends I think about ten percent of his time or some small number like that on the presidential campaign so how did you know about George Romney's 12 years of TAX RETURNS..

 
JAY CARNEY, WHITE HOUSE:
 
I said that he spends it, I do alot of reading Ed! He didn't tell me about that!
 
HENRY:
 
You're percentage is what? 30 or 40 percent.
 
CARNEY:
 
No no no, I just read that in an article that one of your colleagues wrote.
 
 
HENRY:
 
I don't know how many years, maybe you do, George Romney released of his college transcripts but Republicans like to complain that the President has not released his college transcripts, what is the stated reason for that?
 
 
CARNEY:
 
I would refer you to the campaign.
 
I think we've answered this a bunch. The tradition of releasing income tax records for serious potential nominees and nominees of the two parties is well established. Its not a law. But its well established. It's one this President abided by when he was a Senator. It's one numerous Republicans and Democrats have abided by and we think its a good idea.

What do you think?
