I misread the other post, so I was wrong to call it that. But seriously, what do you think could have bought Gov. Lingle’s (HI) silence? She was supposed to be a major McCain supporter and she is a Republican. The only thing I can figure is that somebody at State or whatever showed her the worst case scenario (outright civil war) and convinced her to go along with it. I wonder if she demanded some sort of assurances from Obama himself, and that’s why he went there (besides the sick Grandma whom he didn’t see for 2-3 days after landing).
I have heard conflicting reports about Lingle's supposed sealing of the documents. Some say she did seal it, some say she didn't.
There are good arguments made here as to why it may have been sealed (prevent any possible tampering while awaiting potential litigation). I cannot say for certain what happened or why.
The simple fact is there are many folks who will not accept the fact that he won't release the original, his transcripts or other college records, his health records, or his IL senate records.
The COLB is one of many things BO hasn't supplied. If I applied for a job that required certain documentary proof, you could be darn certain that I wouldn't get hired without it.
I don’t think so. I think she “sealed” the papers to ensure there wasn’t a chance of tampering.
I think many in public office have the thread of blackmail hanging over their heads.
