That's the problem. When Obama was a candidate, all his followers took for granted all of the education, etc... that he said he had.
What I have learned from this election is that the voters need to demand more info about the candidate who wants to run for this land's highest office, especially one who has very little experience.
Most employers do more research on employees they are hiring than was done on Obama.
Actually Obama's records were sealed. Some were sealed and then released after the election.
There have also been questions regarding his year of birth. At one point he had a myspace page and listed his own date of birth as 1957. Later was he was asked about this he stated it was a "typo."
I was right. You;re not paying attention. His Kindergarten Records have long been on the Birther list of demanded documentation. WND mentions them all the time.
What makes you think Obama did a Master's thesis? He doesn't even have a Master's Degree. He has a Bachelor's Degree and a JD. Neither (in case you weren't aware) require theses. A person cannot "seal" that which does not exist.
If on the other hand you can come up with a term paper or two he wrote, more power to you. I do have a Master's degree (MBA, so no Thesis either) and I would suggest that no copies of any papers I ever wrote still exist anywhere. But hey... you could get lucky and find one of Obama's in a cardboard box somewhere.
The Harvard Law Review is a public publication. If he wrote anything there that you haven't seen, then that can only be your fault for not looking.
And again... if you personally feel that you haven't seen enough, then withhold your vote.
It's as simple as that.
Not withhold my vote but vote for someone else not so objectionable to me is the way I see it. Again, I didn't want McCain but I really didn't want Obama. I try to affect elections with my vote and not by withholding it.
I am sure that I could find a copy of my thesis although it was written more than 50 years ago and even before computers. I have no desire but am certainly glad to hear that he has no degree from Columbia. No wonder he had to have an influential businessman intercede for him to get into Harvard. Also, I certainly didn't know that those with Phd degrees didn't have to write anything to show their worth.
Is there any reason for him not to release them if he has nothing to hide?
I have never worried about the birth certificate because his mother was a US citizen but to find out that nobody has seen any of his other records is very frightening.
What is so frightening? What documents are you concerned about? Do you doubt that he graduated from Harvard Law? Do you doubt that he was editor of the Law Review? What exactly is your problem??
Lets just cast a vote and hope like heck he is what he says he is. That wont get us in any trouble what so ever. Cause its not like you can take it back before 4 years are up.
Oh... I'm not "hoping." I am very content that I know exactly who he is. He has more than met my personal standards (and all the legal ones as well) required to prove that he is exactly who he says he is. As such, I am comfortable that my vote is cast in an informed and responsible manner.
You (on the other hand) have a rather different set of standards. The long established standards of legal proof are not good enough for you (for whatever reason), so you move the goal posts and plant an entirely new playing field, one encountered by no other presidential candidate in all of American history.
Good for you!! You are a citizen of this great nation and entitled to whatever personal standards you choose when deciding whom to vote for.
Our representative republic is a beautiful thing, is it not?

Nope. What a silly, silly assumption on your part. Do you actually know people who would do such a thing?

Correct me if I'm wrong here... but are you honestly so deluded that you think you are ever going to hold in your hand the actual birth certificate of anybody running for President? Ever?
Bad news... the best you are ever going to get is an image on the Web or a Newspaper, and the account of a reporter who examined it in person. And that's exactly what you've had from Obama for two years now.
3. It serves no purpose since the only people who want to see them would never vote for him anyway.
4. He want's to keep Birther's frothing because it makes Republicans look like nutjobs.
5. At least some of the "records" on the Birther list never existed in the first place.
There you go... it took me all of what? 45 seconds to come up with 5 other possible reasons.
Dissension? Between who? Right wingers? I certainly have noticed of late that the tea partiers are running screaming from the Birthers. So there you may very well be correct.
As far as I can tell on the other hand, this has caused essentially no dissension among Obama's supporters. So if his handlers saw the current circumstances coming, they must be very good at their work.
Obama is not running in the 2010 elections. And no, there is no chance that we could develop a crisis so serious that the elections could be put off.
Obama's control of the Congress is certainly at jeopardy in the election of 2010 and there are plenty of reasons he could use to hold off elections, even this year. You know that, though, although you don't want to admit it. I really will believe I am voting this fall when I step into the booth.
I guess you didn't think that Napolitano might have been including you in her declaration about veterans being possible terrorists. I did since I was never in favor of how the Vietnam War was prosecuted so maybe I am one of those terrorists.
What is so frightening? What documents are you concerned about? Do you doubt that he graduated from Harvard Law? Do you doubt that he was editor of the Law Review? What exactly is your problem??
What does graduating from Harvard and being editor of the law review have to do with documentation of citizenship?
She never questioned his schooling. There are lots of foreigners who attend U.S universities.
The sealing is, in fact, there and will be until he releases these things officially which he won't do for the very reason I have been howling about, the desire to keep us divided as widely as he can. Open your eyes to what is going on. Is Rahm still in the White House? That answers much to me.
I repeat: nothing has been sealed. Please, as I already suggested, go find out what "sealed" means.

oooooooooooohhhhhhh a West Point Graduate...ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
I guess in your mind that qualifies you as the authority on the POTUS?
Nope.
But it qualifies me to smack down civilians when they pretend to know something about the military that they do not.
