If you are going to quote me use the complete quote and do NOT alter it.
My post said, "Your constant referral of anyone who has responded to this posting that you don't agree with as as a birther only shows how ignorant you are."
You are making a fool of yourself. You are making things up.I have NEVER said or insinuated that he wasn't qualified. In fact most of the responders on here have never made such a statement.
As far as making a fool of oneself, you already filled that position.
Your assertion is undercut by the post that I was responding to:

Kevin was CLEARLY questioning Obama's qualification.
it is not my fault you can't understand what "sealed" means. I have explained it more than twice.
Are you calling me a.liar? It is YOUR ignorance that is on display.
It seems to be YOU that doesn't understand what "sealed" means.
And since it's been explained repeatedly to you that Obama hasn't "sealed" any of his records, that their privacy is maintained by other entitities like schools and government in accordance with policies and laws that apply to everyone, your continual assertion that Obama has taken some action to keep the records private is, indeed, a fallacy.
When one uses the term "sealed," it is implied that one took some kind of official action to have a court (or other overseeing body) seal them, the way juvenile records are sealed.
But the way Quick Enough uses the term, since college records are personal, not public, records he considers Obama's records "sealed." That's horribly misleading. By any normal use of the word, Obama's records were not sealed -- he took no action to restrict public access.
By that weird definition, everyone who went to college has had their records sealed.

If records are NOT available and can ONLY be accessed by the owner or who he gives permission to, they are in essence sealed. Only the owner can remove that seal.
Another attempt to confuse. HE has "sealed" them by not releasing them I know it hard for some to understand because of their blind faith for him but, facts are facts.
I recall all the hoopla about how bad a student W Bush was and how smart Kerry was. Then lo and behold the records show that Bush got better grades then Kerry. HMM! I wonder how the transcripts of THEIR records got exposed?
I also notice NONE has answered the question, why won't he release his records?
Sorry, words have meaning! Remember the flap when Obama made a snarky comment about "Special Olympics"? "Sealed" means something different than "protected by privacy laws".
I have no idea how Bush and Kerry's transcripts got exposed, but that is not the topic of this thread.

We can agree to disagree. I'm done.
If the records' availability is restricted by law or by standing policy, the owner cannot remove that "seal", the owner has no power to undo the laws or policies. Not even the President of the United States.
This is the first time I have heard a reporter ask this question and it's about cotton pickin time someone did. Ed Henry did and the response that Jay Carney gave was not even on topic and way out in left field. What part of the question did Carney NOT understand?
Blast From The Past. Reporter at W.H. Press briefing asks Robert Gibbs why Obama is using a Connecticut Social Security Number (reserved for Connecticut applicants) when he never lived there or had a mailing address there. Watch Gibbs stutter and change the subject.
