Rumor: Barack Obama's first action as POTUS was to sign an Executive Order sealing all of his records.

Truth:

• Barack Obama's first Executive Order, 13489, was regarding the release of Presidential Records from the National Archives and not his personal records.
• Obama's EO 13489 revoked Bush's EO 13233 on Presidential Records, which revoked Reagan's EO 12667 on Presidential Records.
• The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) stores records and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government.
• The National Archivist does not maintain or administer the Hawaii Department of Health vital records or any university transcripts (i.e. Occidental, Columbia, Harvard).

Now that you know the truth, please help dispel this rumor when you encounter it on FR.
