When questioned about the records by Meet the Press host Tim Russert on November 11, 2007, Obama said: “Well, let’s be clear. In the state Senate, every single piece of information, every document related to state government was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is available and has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb by news outlets in Illinois…every document related to my interactions with government is available right now.”

Your buddy Barry doesn't agree with your bald-faced lie about Illinois not keeping records. LOL

Can you even read, let alone think? Let me break it down for you:

1. The State does keep certain records.

Again, let's start with the whole “ability to read” thing. See my previous post: “The Chicago Sun-Times has also been asking about Obama’s papers. Records from Obama’s office — if he kept them — would potentially show appointments with lobbyists, policy memos, meetings, etc., items the state would not have.” The phrase “items the state would not have” is a reading comprehension test.

2. Those records the state has, not Obama but the state, are available. He says that. That is, you are citing available state records in a screed that started by insisting no records were available. That's where you need to work on the thought part, which follows the reading part.

3. Obama doesn't have archived personal papers separate from those the state kept. Those would be the ones you actually claim to want to see.

4. Obama has no legal requirement to keep such papers. So you're out of luck. In more ways than one, apparently.
