From NRO’s The Campaign Spot:
From the Chicago Sun-Times article on grants distributed by then-state-legislator Barack Obama.
(Records from 1997 to 2000 weren’t available.)
There’s a shock.
His state legislative office records may have been thrown out, he told us.
He’s never released a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm’s clients, numbering several hundred each year. His campaign will only confirm representation when the media comes to them with a specific case.
He won’t release his application to the state bar. He’s never released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to Tony Rezko.
He’s never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor.
Does it bother anyone that a guy with political ambitions for his entire adult life has not left a paper trail?
It does bother me…what is Obama hiding? The “Un-Named Democrat” made flesh, that is what he is – the problem is that we don’t need an International Man of Mystery as President of the United States…especially one connected with racists, anti-Americans, corrupt wheeler-dealers and the odd terrorist or two.

bagni,
As a conservative, I hold the center mostly in contempt – pick a side, I say.
What liberals fail to see is that scrutinizing someone’s history for the office of the president is similar to a job interview.
A potential employer is going to scrutinize a potential employee’s work history and other characteristics to determine if that person is best for the job. If an interview candidate is evasive and untruthful then it is highly unlikely that the candidate will be hired.
Same goes for the highest office in the land. Liberals scrutinized Bush a much as they could and questioned “missing history”- now, according to those same liberals “history doesn’t matter”. We saw this in the ‘92 election with Clinton, the same with Gore and Kerry.
Why are liberals afraid of their past?
Obamamaniacs are claiming that Obama’s past doesn’t matter.
You want someone you know nothing about, other than what he has claimed to be and projected to be by the MSM; and you want him to hold the most powerful office on the face of the earth?
If you had a candidate for police chief in your town and all he could show was that he was on a neighborhood watch committee and you couldn’t find any documentation on what he did with that group, would you be content with his claims that his judgement was more than enough to be qualified for the job?
Obama is not just an ‘Empty Suit Candidate’…he is now the ‘Cypher Candidate’.

yek,
Despite your sensationalistic propaganda designed to deceive, this is the most scrutinized and investigated administration ever.
That’s just a fact.
Your omission of that fact simply exposes you for the partisan whack job, and indoctrinated lemming that all us know you to be. Secondly, your support for Obama’s neglect to reveal his past records underscores your hypocrisy.
have a nice day
peace, neocon
Oh, to hear the Bush/McCain crowd speak of deception, hypocrisy and secrecy… self-parody at its finest.
Deleted – off topic.
Chuck,
Thank you demonstrating a complete mindless allegiance to propaganda.
I do hope that McCains victory will expose liberals like yourself and yek for the divisive, partisan, sophmoric, mindless whack jobs that you are. Redford stated that a loss by Obama will be end of the DNC.
That alone is reason enough to support McCain.
have a delusionally partisan day
peace, neocon

How does any of this have anything to do with this election?
Everyone already knows that Barack Obama is black and if you’ve ever read a thing written by Kevin Phillips you know that ethnicity and how you feel about your class and ethnic status is what drives your inclination to vote.
That said I repeat everyone knows that Barack Obama is a black man. I would add that he is better educated than all of you white guys that comment here, he has more money and committment to the American people and a better looking family. He also has never been divorced and his kids are his own. Now let’s talk about some missing history about Mccain and this is on topic. How about how McCain treated his forst wife? I would like to hear the presumptive nominee explain to women of a certain age how they should be abandined when they become ill by their husbands who want someone younger, tighter and wealthier.
How does this square with your “always right” Catholic worldview Mark Noonan? Are politics more important than values? Oh that’s right it’s the abortion thing so adultery by McCain and violation of your view that marriage is for life and divorce is a sin is trumped by Obama;s political stance of agreeing with a woman’s right to choose to terminate the life of her fetus?
Square that circle while I go make a Morey Amsterdam sandwich.
No good – a lie, to be a lie, must be a knowing misrepresentation. The only person we know of in Kerry’s life who has lied vis a vis anything Kerry has done is, well, John Kerry…when he lied to Congress about what our soldiers were doing in Vietnam. This is like the only known lies about Plamegate are those told by Plame and Wilson.
So you’re lying right now, then. After all, the evidence that the Swift Boat Liars, you know, lied (as well as the evidence that your bizarro-world story about Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame is pretty much the exact opposite of the truth) has been presented to you countless times. You can’t pretend to not know it; you can (and do) pretend it doesn’t exist. Which would make you a liar.
Really, you should stop trying to parse things so much. You clearly don’t know what you’re doing, and it only makes it worse for you.
ya know…instead of issues…i would pursue an different course of action…based on the corruption of political parties and demonstrated by facts based in both the truth and history…that the person we need in the white house should be neither a republican or a demoncrat…but an honest man that we can trust….unlike our long record of electing corrupt officials resulting is terminations and resignations from the republican party, which is more apt to be honest…than the demoncrat party…whose corrupt members have become a party unto themselves….because when they get caught…instead of resign…they pull together like a pack of thieves to keep thier corrupt membership intact….
so a simple, honest man that knows the value of the truth…and the courage to use it…is what we need…
