To prove my point, I listed all 4 candidates and explained why I felt there was missing info on Obama. To me, an American citizen, the other three feel like old friends I've known. With Obama, there is much not known.

It turned out negative thanks to the hyper-sensitive and irrational liberals in this forum. But hey, at least I was not called a KKK member or racist for questioning the almighty messiah!

All you have to do is ask a question about this guy and you people go balistic. Freakin nuts and very frustrating! Only one person responded with a honorable and real response answering the question.
You're not innocent, though...you were being a bit of a poop yourself.

If you'd read one of his books, you would be amazed at how forthright he was in them. I read them thinking, I am amazed that an aspiring politician would write about the dirty details of his life so candidly. In a way though, it was absolutely brilliant, because he layed the dirt out there, it didn't have to be dug up to burn him at a later date, he admitted it.

Obama has been vetted more thoroughly than any candidate in history. He ran a long primary campaign against Hillary for crying out loud. People have been trying to dig up dirt on him for 2 years now. If you claim you don't "know" him it is only because you don't want to know him. You are clinging to the hope that there is an evil darkside to him.

Why I spent the time to type this, I don't know, because it doesn't matter. You aren't going to believe anything unless it reinforces your belief that Obama is hiding some big dirty secret.

What is it that we don't know about Obama? No information, no records released form the Columbia/Harvard days. We know everything about Bush, McCain, Palin from day of birth to just about 5 minutes ago, but we know nothing about many years of Obama. Even his press secretaries at CNN glossed over the years because they don't know anything about those years [and aren't interested in knowing or finding anything] Have there been any interviews of his classmates, roommates, friends, fraternity/club/group members? Every resident of Wasulla AK has been interviewed. What was Obamas test scores? We know Bush/McCain/Palin test scores. What is it that Obama doesn't want us to know about his college days?

Sounds like a pretty typical high school/college kid of the 70s and 80s.
