Where's he holding them?
The exact same question/point can be applied to Obama’s birth certificate.

The “preview” was correct... Something funky with the post process...
Hey LA Times, release the tapes!
“The scandal is now certain to be a major topic today on the Sunday morning political talk shows as listed here.”
Naw, to them its “no big deal”, just ask Jim Leher.
There was Axlerod’s statement that said Obama never wanted Valerie Jarrett in the Senate
Then on the 13th of December, in the New York Times, it is stated that Rahm Emanuel did contact the Governor from Illinois and Valerie Jarrett was on a list of desired people to fill President Elect Obama’s empty Senate seat.
When people start coming out with statements that are bold lies like this. Then there is a cover-up.
Plain and simple.
Please choose one:
1) What did Obama know, and when did he know it?
2) It’s not the crime. It’s the coverup.
3) “I am not a crook”.
“From a practical point of view, if everything is above board, what’s to hide?”
Same can be said of his Birth Cert, his contacts with Ayers, Wright, and a dozen or so other issues that could cause the Electoral College to say NAY!
But alas!
Lets all chip in and start a chronological list:
Zero's supporters are OK with anything that "Gets over on the Man". Facts are a MOO point. (channeling Joey from Friends)
The wagons are drawn into a circle, phone records are being searched furiously, memories being jogged, friends of Blago being contacted for information and/or instructions on his next move, while someone somewhere is furiously digging for dirt on Fitzgerald.
Same as the Birth Cert..
Here is the basic problem that Obmaa has to deal with: He doesn't know for sure what Rahm Emanuel actually said to Blagojevich and he really doesn't know what Fitz might have on tape.
I'm sure that Emanuel is telling Obama everything he knows but, if you were Obama, would you be absolutely certain that you were hearing the real story. And worse, what if Obama sent Emanuel off to make some kind of a deal that might have been on the up and up. That seems pretty likely to me. Politics is after all about deal making. The problem is that Blagojevich had expectations for that deal that apparently went beyond where Obama/Emanuel were willing to go. Unfortunately for Obama/Emanuel those discussions, unsuccessful as they were from Blagojevich's perspective, may all be on tape. If so, Emanuel is in the unfortunate position of listening to at least the suggestion of a crime by Blago and very likely responding not with a criticism based on the inappropriateness of Blago's request but rather on the "high price" which Obama was not willing to pay. If this is what happened and that tape gets out it would not be a good thing for Obama.
Obama is walking through a minefield. I would expect him to be very careful.
Come on - to the press, this is already “old news” and Obama has been declared “innocent of any knowledge or connection” to the entire saga. If this had been Bush, USA Today, NY Times, etc., would be keeping the front page burning with the story but as it is they have already moved on. Can’t mess with the Messiah - no story here.
Asking The Obamunist to release anything is like asking water to stop being wet. He has not released his birth certificate, his school records, his medical records, his passport, his selective service registration, his application to the Illinois bar association, ad nauseum.
Obama's pattern in the face of scandal has been to absolutely deny, delay, obfuscate, lie, weasel and all in all take the maximum damage to himself, before throwing the associate under the bus.
Look what he did in the Rev. Wright case. Obama said that he didn't think Rev. Wright was particularly controversial. He said Rev. Wright was his spiritual mentor and could abandon him to the same extent he could abandon the black community. In other words, not at all. Then Rev. Wright puts on his performance at the National Press Club and whoopsy shups, Rev. Wright is under da bus.
In the case of Hot Rod Blago, Obama denies that he or his staff ever spoke to the Governor or Governor's office about his own successor as Senator, when he had every legitimate reaso TO speak to the Governor about his successor and indeed he did. So, why make the absolute denial and ensure, that Obama himself will be shown up as a liar?
That's his pattern. Bill Ayers is just a guy from his neighborhood. That wasn't the Tony Rezko I knew. Father Pfleger was my spiritual mentor, but...
