Perhaps he doesn't want written records to come out, showing that he attended Harvard (or his previous college, Occidental) on a foreign-student scholarship?

as has been pointed out before, obama would not have been eligible for federal student loans ( that we have seen he has paid from his tax returns ) if he was enrolled as a foreign student.

So no, that's not it.
You are making an assumption for which you have no facts ( i.e. Transcript).

we know that he graduated magnum c.m laude and that he was the president of the harvard law revue.

do you think it's probable that a person could attain those titles with multiple incompletes ?

We know he graduated within three years.

We know he graduated Magna c um Laude.

What facts do you think are missing?

I have no proof that he didn't anymore than you have that he did. It may not be probable but it is definitely not out of the question. What if the incomplete(s) were in subject(s) that would cast a bad light on his abilities as President? In that view, it could be only one key incomplete.

When you go to college, or to law school, in order to graduate you have to complete a certain number of credits. When you have an incomplete in a course, you don't get credit for taking the course. In a degree-program that takes three years, you would be hard-pressed to take more than one or two incompletes, and still meet the credits requirement to graduate. In essence, you would have to add additional semesters in order to meet the credits requirement.

I don't know what subject in law school that you think would cast a bad light on Presidential abilities. One course juxtaposed against the many he completed very successfully? Because you do know that Magna c-um Laude means he was very successful academically. High honors. You know that, right?

Agreed. That's why I absolutely NEVER put any cred. in youtube videos. That one made it look like FOX reported that Obama spent 200K to keep his records sealed. When I got on FOX' website, it wasn't there. Then I read more carefully, FOX reporter. I hope she gets fired. For what? For implying FOX was reporting this. She should have said she was speaking for herself.
