Dig this: Media actually probed other candidates
WorldNetDaily ^ | AUGUST 10, 2009 | By Chelsea Schilling

Divulged personal documents on arrests, surgeries, colleges

In the last 18 years, highly personal information has been published about presidential candidates, including divorce and alimony details, drunk driving arrest records, college grades, urinalysis results, prostate cancer surgery – even details about George W. Bush's hemorrhoid troubles.

The media have dredged up medical, military, college and detailed records for Republican and Democratic Party candidates in at least the last five elections. Candidates were subject to intense scrutiny of their health conditions, academic performance and military careers.

However, while such private information about other candidates was divulged, more than 440,000 concerned citizens still have yet to see President Obama present his elusive "long-form" birth certificate and several other documents that remain unreleased or otherwise blocked from the public eye.

As WND has reported, Obama has not released his long-form birth certificate, college transcripts, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records or his adoption records.

Scholarly articles? He wasn’t a tenure track Professor at UofC and has no such things just some rabble rousing rants published in the newspapers.

This guy is one of the most secretive of any who have ever ran for President. You would think the media would want to know why?

Because regardless of what the constitution says your supposedly crazy if you expect any form of confirmation as to the Presidents citizenship.

Oh and of course you're embarrassing “elite dilettante conserva-posers”

I know the article is actually about the lack of media interest in probing Obama’s records, but whoever Chelsea Schilling is, she sure got it totally wrong on John ‘F’in Kerry’s release of his records.

He was no Professor. Just a lecturer. More likely teaching remedial sign language.
Once again there is nothing to document Zer0’s history.

Where are his writings on constitutional law? Did he ever
represent anyone in a court of law? Perhaps he was fired .

If you can’t hold a job become a politician.

It is all part of Obama’s promised transparency.

However, President Obama has still not provided simple, incontrovertible proof of his exact birthplace.

Because he is afraid to release his birth certificate that will show him to be a fraud.

But, his college records WERE released. Let me see, I have a copy of the transcript (Certificate of Live Academic Grades) here somewhere on this messy desk.... oh, here it is:

Marxism 101, A+

Health Care REconomics, A-

Eugenics, Advanced, A

Practical Nationalization (elective), A-

Reporters love to dig into records to find dirt about normal people. The democrat party has vast files of dirt about anyone who is, or might become a threat to their established power. Millions of little lemming liberals working in public offices, police stations, schools, offices use their job-related access illegally to look up information on normal people who are or may become a threat.
The media is very happy to take the information, true or not, and blast it all over the front page.

“The democrat party has vast files of dirt about anyone who is, or might become a threat to their established power.”

This is why they have such immense distain for Palin. She has no dirt (other than the kind they make up)and she is not an “insider”. Palin does not owe any favors. She connects with the average people. She could burst their bubble and they know it. And they’re damned scared just like a cornered animal.
