The Endless Secrecy Around Barack Obama
The National Review ^ | August 18, 2008 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 08/18/2008 4:46:40 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Just to review, the public cannot get access to paperwork related grants distributed by then-state-legislator Obama (records from 1997 to 2000 aren't available); his state legislative office records (which he says may have been thrown out); he refuses to release a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm's clients, numbering several hundred each year; he won't release his application to the state bar (where critics wonder if he lied in responding to questions about parking tickets and past drug use); he’s never released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to convicted donor Rezko; and he's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor.

Now the University of Illinois at Chicago is denying Stanley Kurtz access to documents relating to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a small foundation, founded and inspired by Bill Ayers, for which Obama served as board chairman.

What the hell? Really, what possible reason is there to seal documents like this, beyond saving Obama some embarrassment? And is any fool out there still claiming that they're voting for Obama because the Bush Administration has been too secretive?

JESUS never rode in the backseat of a limo, smokin’ crack while... well you get the picture. He may be the anti-Christ... but if he is... satan has one dumb-arsed son... dumb as a box of brimstone!

“Or his IQ... and you will see ALL of lurch’s Military records before you will see any of barry sabetero’s records.”

Yeah, and Lurch has been promising that other 100 pages of his service record since during the 2004 campaign and a couple of times since.

Yeah, but the AP took this photo today of Obama's feet::

Because he is secretly an android remote-controlled by Space Aliens? This would be too much of a shock for his mundane liberal followers and, in keeping with the Brookings Report on Extraterrestrial Life, would undermine the public trust and confidence in existing institutions. If the dark truth were to be known the trauma would trigger the disintegration of the social structures of civilization on earth.For this reason, there is a Roswell-like coverup about the truth of Obama's real identity and the purpose of his mission on earth.

As Gray Barker explained in They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers, those who dig too deeply into this get a visit from The Men in Black... It is now almost impossible to find any information on this beyond some absurd disinformation movie with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Meanwhile they have everyone thinking he's from Hawaii! It's like they have the writers from The Brady Bunch writing the script.

above is Kurtz’s article: Chicago Annenberg Challenge Shutdown

not surprisingly, a potentially helpful UIC.edu page is no longer there:

http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/specialcoll/services/rjd/findingaids/ChicagoAnnenbergf.html

and, not surprisingly, google’s cache has nada. sort of surprisingly, the internet way back machine also has nada from the UIC.edu page’s past.
