And while we’re asking questions

Monday, August 17th, 2009

If I was curious, why can’t I see or find out . . .

  • Punahou School
    Though from a modest background, Obama attended Punahou School in Honolulu, one of Hawaii’s top private institutions. Who paid for this?
  • Occidental College
    Obama attended Occidental College. Obama attended the school on a scholarship. What kind of scholarship? Financial records have not been released.
  • Columbia University
    Obama transferred from Occidental CollegeWhy? to Columbia University in 1981, at the age of 20. Who paid for this? OBTW, although Obama claimed to be a part of the Black Student Organization and anti-apartheid activities, the New York Times reports, several well-known student leaders did not recall his involvement. Fox News contacted400 of Obama’s classmates. No one remembered him. Guess he spent a lot of time in the library. Before applying to Harvard, Obama is said to have written a major thesis in his senior year. It has not been released.
  • Harvard Law School
    No information on grades, schedules or who paid for this.
  • Harvard Law Review
    In 1990, Obama became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, where he spent at least 50 hours a week editing submissions from judges, scholars and authors. A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review.
  • University of Chicago
    Obama lectured at the University of Chicago Law School, a top school where the faculty is known for voluminous scholarly publishing, from 1992 until 2004. No scholarly articles can be found that were authored by him.

Also unavailable:

  • Passport
  • Medical records
    Obama refused to release medical records. Instead, he simply provided a six-paragraph note from his physician briefly summarizing 21 years of doctor visits and health information. The letter contained no supporting documentation.
  • Illinois state senator
    Complete files and schedules of his years as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004 are not accessible.
  • Client list
    Obama’s client list from during his time in private practice with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill and Gallard is sealed. 
  • Illinois State Bar Association records are sealed. 
  • Obama/Dunham marriage license is unavailable. 
  • Obama/Dunham divorce documents are unavailable.
  • Adoption records are unavailable.
  • Birth certificate
    While a certificate of life birth has been presented, in Hawaii,  it is not the same as a birth certificate which continues to be unavailable.

It  just seems strange that so much money has been spent denining access to the records of a public servant.
