Forbes: Trump Reveals His Promised Blockbuster News About Obama! [View all]

It's really not "news", but rather a "silly request" for President Obama's college and passport records.

From http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/10/24/trump-reveals-his-promised-blockbuster-news-about-obama/

"It turns out, its not so much big news as a silly challenge. What a shock.

... Trump has promised to make a five million dollar donation to any charity of President Obama’s choice if the President, in return, “opens up and gives his college records and applications--and if he gives his passport applications and records.” There is a catch--Mr. Obama must provide the demanded documents by 5:00 p.m. on October 31, 2012.

Should the President decide to meet the terms of the challenge, Trump promises to issue a five million dollar check within one hour after the President releases the materials."
