If you want to read the Harvard Law Reviews for the years when Obama was editor, please take a trip to any law school library near you. They are sure to have the editions that you want. Or, you can order them below:

Harvard Law Review

Harvard Law Review: Past Issues

As for paying to keep his academic records private... what is there to pay? Release of academic records by default requires the permission of the student. Hell I can't get my kids records and I'm paying the tuition. It is federal law.
His articles are not released nor can you get them to review. Why is that?

Also, after two separate releases of his birth certificate, the birther trolls haven't gone away, even though they got what they wanted. I see no reason he'd want to feed the trollage any further.

PS - there's nothing wrong with wanting. You just have to realize that you are not entitled to other people's private documents, and you likely will not get what you want in this instance.
Who claimed anyone was entitled to anything? It is simply curious that he is spending such a large amount of money keeping something secret that in all probability should be an asset. It makes no sense.

Bush is not the president. We can't talk about him or compare him to Obama. That's what the RWNJs said at 12:05 PM Jan. 20, 2009.

Obama does not have to spend one cent to keep his Harvard transcripts from being released. They are protected by the same privacy laws as everyone else's. Of course, the majority of the Obama haters who post here on CD have not even gone to college so it seems. One recently referred to a transcript as a "report card".

No it is not. Just by saying something like 'look the man graduated and that should be all you need to know' is not good enough. Wouldn't you want to read the articles he did to get a mindset of his thinking and know specifically what his grades were? We all saw Bush Gore and Kerry's grades and the media sure made a issue out of it. We got to see what subjects they excelled and didn't excel in.

If his transcript was good enough for the University of Chicago to hire him as a professor, then it's good enough for me.

He isn't hiding them. They are private by nature. Has every college-attending president released all of his academic records?

The fact is is that he was already elected once without releasing them, so obviously it didn't make a difference one way or another.

He doesn't have to spend a penny to protect those records; federal law protects his same as it protects yours and mine.

What articles did he supposedly write? He was the editor. Editorship is different from authorship.

I never claimed it made a difference, I only made the observation that it is curious. You would think it woud be something to boast about, not hide.

You can't be President and private at the same time

Kerry's and Bush's were made public. Why isn't he throwing it out there? Presumably it would be a positive.

There is nothing to see because he won't release anything so we can see.
