Maybe Obama could show good faith by releasing his birth certificate...

Add to your list "the Big One" (IMO):

Illinois State Bar application - not released (will probably show he lied about past drug use)

ABC news is trying to cover Charlie Gibson’s rear.
They are trying to justify the Gibson Inquisition.

Here is what Libertarian VP candidate has to say about Barack and not releasing his school records.

Wayne Root:

“Barack and I graduated from the same college, on the same day, with the same major, both from lower middle class families. Except for the color of our skin we couldn't have been more alike. I had good grades at Columbia, (B+ or higher) and good LSAT (Law School admission exam) scores. Good enough, I was told by my Columbia University guidance counselor, that I could gain acceptance into virtually any law school in America, with the exception of the Ivy Leagues (Harvard, Yale, Columbia). “Don't even bother to apply to your favorite choice Harvard- you just don't have the grades,” I was told. And, you know something, I accepted the fact that my grades weren't good enough, and that more qualified applicants should attend those schools.

Yet, Barack was accepted to Harvard Law School. Was it because of his grades, test scores, and college record? Or, was it because of the color of his skin? I think inquiring minds (and voters) have a right to know. My life (and grades) at Columbia are an open book. They are available for everyone to see. But, newspaper after newspaper has told me that Obama’s campaign refuses to release his college transcripts. Why? What has he got to hide? That same Obama campaign never hesitates to mention in every media story that Barack graduated Harvard Law School with Law Review honors. But never even a mention of his Columbia undergraduate record. Why?”

This is a smoke screen designed exactly to misdirect us from pressing for the missing "Obama papers", and other "prominent" liberals background material.

The quest of the MSM is to have something in the news everyday that - to the casual and uneducated ear - seems like an impropriety.

Please note that they are not making any specific implications toward the Governor, only acting like her not serving them up on a silver platter is some sort of crime.

It occurs to most of us that the Governor is a pretty smart cookie - surrounded by smart advisors. Are the media trying to make us believe that she somehow didn't know that she was going to have to reveal all this information, and would be prepared for it?

If I were her, I'd withhold and even be a bit coy about revealing all of this until the media has worked itself up into a frothing frenzy, and then hand them over. Rope-a-dope time.

But the media knows she has them, and they are ok...probably a lot better than Biden's 1% to charity, etc.

The media should know that obsession is defined as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

If you look at the Obama's tax returns, note that their charitable contributions jumped starting in 2005, while in previous years they ranged from 0.5% to 1.4% of adjusted gross income. Obama and Biden are from the same niggardly mold. Of my God! Am I a racist for using that word, niggardly?

The only one I would quibble about is the U. of Chicago scholarly writings. Lecturers are normally there to only teach and not perform research and analysis. However, a good lecturer or adjunct professor will be an expert in his or her field and can be invaluable to a university. Imagine taking an organizational behavior course from Jack Welsch or learning IT structure from someone at Sun or Microsoft, etc.

Sooo, there should be some cases or even friend of the court briefs from his time as a community organizer that would show the type of work he did (if indeed that is part of the job of a lawyer trying to help the poor).

This coming from ABC, the All Barack Channel.

Why anyone even cares what the hell they say anymore is beyond me.

Add to the list CAC records (Chicago Annenberg Challenge) records not available in Chicago Univ. library. Go to National Review Online and read the Kurtz article about trying to access these records.

Kinda of a Captain Obvious statement huh?

It does seem to me that since the infamous interview, they have went harder at her than the others.... if that’s possible.

Sorry been a long boring night, when I saw that statement or comment. I was unable to resist.

Seiously I know that networks will never be tough on democrats only repubs.

Mrs Palin represents everything the libs abhorr, Christian values, strong family values, morals.
In addition she is articulate, which neither of her opponents can claim.

Since neither dem Pres or VP nominee can match her in a debate, they send the lawyers and lapdogs to try and destroy her.

Every hit piece PO’s another American, who will likely vote for McCain/Palin to stick it to elitist dems

And the McCain campaign grants “interviews” to these enemy agents. It makes no sense to treat your enemies the same as your friends, unless you are eager to lose.

You said exactly what I've been thinking for months!

If McCain wins, these hyenas should be barred from the White House!

Too bad the press isn’t as interested in Rangel’s tax return. Or Freddie May and Fannie Mac’s booking “errors”...
