"You are wasting your time."

Yes, I am. But that's okay. It's my time.

"I am seeking truth and you are nit piking details and making false statements."

The entire Birther movement is founded on "nit picking details" and "false statements," so the irony in your complaint here is delicious. If your post had contained anything more, then that's what I would have responded to. But it didn't.

"Obama will not release his records to the public and you say 'There is no evidence he has closed his files.'"

Of course. Here let me show you how that works.

I also will not release my records to the public. In order to accomplish that, I do not need to "close" a thing, or call anybody, or submit any paperwork. I just sit back a drink a martini, because the records are already protected by laws that I had nothing to do with.

"If you don't believe me or the comments by the officials in Hawaii that they can't release without his permission, then pprove me wrong. Get a copy of the records for yourself and experience the 'transparency.'"

They can't. And he didn't need to 'close" a thing for that to be true.

"Our highest public official has not opened any of his passport, selective service, school, or birth records and perhaps you haven't heard, he is fighting doing so in various courts."

You are misinformed.

1. He has opened his birth records. He did so when he released his COLB.

2. His selective service records have been publicly available for more than a year already. He did nothing to oppose their release.

3. His passport records and school records are irrelevant to his presidential eligibility since there are no Article II requirements regarding schooling or passports.

4. He has never had to even address the issue of "fighting" the release of these records, since no court has ever asked for them. Instead, he has responded to lawsuits he did not file by having them dismissed in the most efficient, effective and economical way possible.

"I am seeking the truth by having the information made public. Waht is it you are doing?"

I am defending the Constitution of the United States, as per my oath.

He has not opened his records to the public. He posted a document which is suspect.

When you run for public office, we'll want to see your documents. Until then I don't care if you burn them. Not interested.

I am not a birther. Not interested in your comments about them. I am seeking the truth by asking for public viewing of the best evidence about the president. The best evidence being the documents in files he will not open.

He has sent attorneys into courts to fight having to provide his records. You are covering for him on this issue. Again what are your motives? Protecting a fraud suspect?

You are not defending the constitution since he has never established his qualifications for the job. You are doing just the opposite.

It is amazing to see people cover up and support someone who is hiding his life from public scrutiny. If he wants to be president he has to provide more information.

I said nothing about Article II. You are restricting the public access to relevant information about someone who sought the most powerful office in the world. A publicaly elected official. His schooling and passport info are indeed relevant and they can verify or counter what he has said about his life and experience. The character and truth about these people who run for office is directly related to their qualifications for the office.

It comes down to you covering for him and me seeking the truth. So name call all you want and characterize my positon any way you want. In the end the truth will be known.
