I read and comprehend well enough to see that I said that I said the state of Illinois does maintain records and you replied that it does not.
But to the point. If you want his personal records, he is under no legal obligation to maintain those. So you will never see what he doesn't have.
Sure, let's get to that point.
On NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday, moderator Tim Russert asked Obama about the papers from his state legislative days, from 1997 to 2004.Obama first said, We did not keep those records.
He then elaborated: Well, lets be clear.
(snip)
The stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didnt have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasnt intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didnt have 50 or 500 people to, to help me archive these issues.
On Friday, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times reported that she had asked Obama at a news conference: Do your state senate papers still exist? If they do, just where are they? And would you ever intend to make them public to be responsive to some requests?
Sweet wrote that he replied: "Nobody has requested specific documents.
But the Chicago Tribune has reported that it requested documents from his time in Springfield and never received a response.
And Sweet wrote of her own paper, The Chicago Sun-Times has also been asking about Obama's papers.
Russert pressed Obama, who has touted his service in Springfield as proof of his experience, about his records of meetings with lobbyists.
I did not have a scheduler, but, as I said, every document related to my interactions with government is available right now, Obama said. And, as I said, news outlets have already looked at them.
0baMao has clearly dissembled on the subject and his denial of having kept the records is couched in the semantics of "not archiving" them. He denies having any records but then answers someone else with "Nobody has requested specific documents which obviously gives the impression that he has documents. His statement makes no sense if he does not.
Presuming you have some minimal capability to think, the only records unavailable that you can have wanted are Obama’s personal records (i.e., not state records). He is under no legal obligation to have collected and retained such. Whether you or I think he should have is another matter altogether. But there is no seal on any any state records making Obama’s years a blank. There is only the question of his not providing for inspection personal records he was not required to maintain, a point that is moot. Because, again, he wasn't required to keep any. The fact that you personally think he is lying doesn't change that.
