Bush's college paperwork was released without issue. Why not BO?

Not long ago, we went through this, but here goes:

Claims #1, 2 and 4, college records. Obama’s college records are not
“sealed” by a court order, as this graphic would have you believe. It would
be illegal under federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
of 1974) for Occidental, Columbia or Harvard Law School to give any
former student’s records to reporters or members of the public without
that person’s specific, written permission. Obama hasn’t released them,
but neither have other presidential candidates released their college
records. George W. Bush’s grades at Yale eventually became public, but
only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. Bush
himself refused to release them, according to a 1999 profile in the
Washington Post.

And:

Claim #15, foreign student aid. The claim that Obama got “foreign
student aid” is untrue. That wild falsehood began as an absurd April Fools’
Day hoax in 2009, which we quickly exposed.
