Obama’s signature move: unsealing private records(2012 Article)

Mitt Romney presents one enormous problem for Barack Obama’s campaign: No divorce records. That’s why the media are so hot to get their hands on Romney’s tax records for the past 25 years. They need something to “pick through, distort and lie about” — as the Republican candidate says.

Obama’s usual campaign method, used in 100 percent of his races, has been to pry into the private records of his opponents. Let’s take a romp down memory lane and review the typical Obama campaign strategy. Obama became a U.S. senator only by virtue of David Axelrod’s former employer, the Chicago Tribune, ripping open the sealed divorce records of Obama’s two principal opponents.

One month before the 2004 Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, Obama was down in the polls, about to lose to Blair Hull, a multimillionaire securities trader. But then the Chicago Tribune leaked the claim that Hull’s second ex-wife, Brenda Sexton, had sought an order of protection against him during their 1998 divorce proceedings.

Those records were under seal, but as The New York Times noted: “The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had ‘worked aggressively behind the scenes’ to push the story.” Many people said Axelrod had “an even more significant role — that he leaked the initial story.”

Ryan would have walloped Obama in the Senate race. But at the request of — again — the Chicago Tribune, California Judge Robert Schnider unsealed the custody papers in Ryan’s divorce five years earlier from Hollywood starlet Jeri Lynn Ryan, the bombshell Borg on “Star Trek: Voyager.”And that’s how Obama became a U.S. senator. He destroyed both his Democratic primary opponent and his Republican general election opponent with salacious allegations about their personal lives taken from “sealed” court records.

Obama’s team delved into Sarah Palin’s marriage and spread rumors of John McCain’s alleged affair in 2008 and they smeared Herman Cain in 2011 with hazy sexual harassment allegations all emanating from David Axelrod’s pals in Chicago.

It’s almost like a serial killer’s signature. Unsealed personal records have been released to the press. Obama must be running for office!

If you dig a little deeper, you will find that is how he gained his elective seats in the Illinois Legislature. He tried to destroy Bobby Rush to get his seat in the nineties, but was warned off by Democrat cohorts. Rush was an icon in Illinois, within the Black community. Obama=Sleaze personified. And I AM surprised it was the Tribune acting for Obama. Long ago they were the Conservative choice in Chicago. Of course, there is NO Conservative choice in Illinois anymore.

Why do you think the Democrats are so hot to appoint a special prosecutor over a non-crime? A special prosecutor will have subpoena powers to ask Trump for any document including his tax records.

Trump was right to be mad at Sessions for recusing himself and the Republicans should fight any attempt for a special prosecutor. It's only a fishing expedition.

Unseal Obama’s long form birth certificate, college records, and get him to explain why he has the SSN of a dead man from Connecticut.

He who lives having sealed records will die when they are unsealed and his sordid past revealed.

or more precisely, it’s Soros’s MO.

0vomit doesn’t have the intelligence to do this. Plus he is far too lazy to make the effort. But the puppeteer pulling his strings can do it.

There is more than one pond to fish in. How about a little fishing in the 0vomit pond. And the Clinton pond.

I hope and pray that you are correct. I can hardly wait to see what’s been covered up all these years. I think it the stuff he’s been covering up will be shocking and so surprising that if it were a novel it would be rejected as too far-fetched.
