The controversy over President Obama’s birth certificate will not go away as long as he refuses to release sealed records, including the original birth certificate, according to Carol Swain, professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University.
“I believe that the president should end the speculation by being transparent about all aspects of his background,” Swain said. “In fact, it can be argued that the president belongs to the people and to scholars, biographers and others who are entitled to know every aspect of his past. Only great men can ascend to this height, and their lives should be examined and studied for the lessons they offer.”
Swain said that what is posted online for the president is a certificate of live birth. “It is the failure to release the long form that keeps suspicion alive,” she said. Swain noted that she strongly disagrees with those who want to criticize Americans, including journalist Lou Dobbs, who continue to raise the issue.
Other sealed records that Swain has called for the president to release include those pertaining to his education, foreign travel and state legislative business.

Yes!!!
How can you write a legitimate biography if you can’t get the basic facts on the man?
Any bio that skips over the birth and early years of this man is a waste of time and purely a political hackjob.
THIS IS DEFINITELY CATCHING STEAM!!!!! I think we’ve hit the... what do you call it? The “tipping point” on this issue?
Look for this definitely NOT TO GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
If 0bama ever gets a library it will be empty. What will they put in it his cell phone?
Oh good, with this and the Andy McCarthy article today, this thing is moving in the right direction.
He has concealed lots and lots about his life.
Don’t hold your breath Carol.
There’s obviously something “there” there. Otherwise, why hold back? Must be totally damaging.
The only people who hide details of their past or identity are criminals and con men. This is not normal behavior.
Uh-oh- when the scholars start on you- there’s trouble ahead :D
The wind is beginning to change.
She must be a racist. That’s the only explanation.......
And college transcripts
and passport records
and graduate writings
and fin. aid apps
etc
Just who IS this 0bama guy?
But "great" doesn't necessarily mean "good."
Why doesn't Obama release his records? It's so simple.
I really feel that it will come to pass soon since the little commie is dropping in the polls that we will find out the creep is an illegal...People will start to look at the fools background more..
A lot of people (including the left) are beginning to catch on....this man is a fraud in so many ways.
But mediocre ones can be installed.
Does this liberal academician realize he just called Reagan and George W. Bush "great men"? His ivory tower credentials will soon be revoked.
It would go away if Obama would simply authorize the State of Hawaii to produce a certified copy of his original birth certificate.
I’m willing to pay the $10 fee.
First off, be careful posting these articles here. Some FReepers are foaming at the mouth over this and they’re ready to draw swords with each other over it.
Second-—for Obama to release all his records, transcripts and certificate of demonic birth is to admit to being a total fraud-so it ain’t going to happen. Now where did I put that pic of Captain Obvious?
