Obviously not — but that’s pretty much the whole point, isn’t it?

Practically every record that Americans are used to seeing about their Presidential candidates — not to mention Presidents — has been carefully hidden away in Obama’s case.

There is, of course, that trip to Pakistan at a time when US passports were invalid fo travel there. But I can think of a couple of ways to get around that, simple bribery being the easiest.

Who knows? Until someone breaks the barrier of secrecy surrounding Obama’s past, it’s all just speculation.

"There is, of course, that trip to Pakistan at a time when US passports were invalid fo travel there."

In 1981,when Obama visited Pakistan, US passports were valid for entry (In fact, Pakistan was running a PR campaign to encourage US citizens to visit).

For example GOOGLE turns up this article by an American travel writer about a '81 vist:

including visa information:

"Tourists can obtain a free, 30-day visa (necessary for Americans) at border crossings and airports."
