And NO ONE today would give you that kind of information, even if you called and said you were the FBI!
Why do you think it took 9 days for the announcement to make the papers? Time enough to get back from Kenya and file for a BC maybe? All of our announcements were published within a couple of days.

See what I mean about how nothing satisfies the conspiracists? Our local paper only publishes them on Sundays. So conceivably (no pun intended), it could take a week or more for an announcement to get in. But this is the issue:

Conspiracist: There was nothing in the paper

Normal person: Yes, there was a birth announcement.

C: It didn't get in till 9 days later, it must be bogus.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, satisfies you guys. You are so convinced you are right. Yes, I'm sure Barack's mother arrived back from Kenya nine days after his birth and immediately rushed to the newspaper to put in a birth announcement, in case he ever ran for POTUS. Especially since she was all of 18 years old at the time.

If your announcements were made within a couple of days, it was the hospital, not the public health authorities, who put them in. Check the filing dates on your kids' birth certificates. My daughter's birth was recorded 16 days after she was born.

They just want a good, tough conspiracy game to play. They so loved the Clinton series.

So unless you have further evidence, I say will still don't have any proof that Bush released anything resembling an official transcript.
NPR just made that all up?

I clicked on the link you first posted, earlier today. As I do not want to subscribe to that newsletter, or whatever it is, I could read no more than what I posted. I in no way said NPR made it up. I just couldn't finish the article.

I just now skimmed a few of the links you provided in your most recent post. Yes, those two did release transcripts, Kerry after years of refusing to. However, not all presidential candidates have done so. This thing for Obama's transcripts isn't even to look at his grades; it's supposedly to see if he was a "foreign" student, which is nuts because it is documented that he went to high school in Hawaii, which was at the time part of the US! Under the circumstances of this lawsuit, if my attorney advised me not to release them, I wouldn't release them either.

Well, shucks, some of us care.

If old Bar was aware that the alky African was not his father and chose to go that road with all the $$$ that it gave...I guess that would make him a bit MORE of a fraud.

Just if.

But, thanks...I never ran across the both looking down thing. Hey! It is...eerie! And those fat cheeks! And the nose lines! And the color of the skin and the hair line and the nose and the eyebrows and....

Oh...but he is AFRICAN! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Please! Somebody tell me how much he resembles old alky/lover of Stanley, BHO sr! Check out the high cheek bones, hair line, nose, brothers that live in shacks, etc.

I think we need Maury on this one.

BHO, Sr. You ...

ARE...

NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

the father.

The most important Obama record now is the one unfolding of him as POTUS. The election is over and now all is in the open for people to judge. He is POTUS and tears about missed opportunities are just that tears over the past. If you want to be critical now is your opportunity to do so in real time.
