An Obama spokesman, Ben Labolt, last week declined to say where Obama's records from his years in the Illinois State Senate are located. There is no law mandating the state to archive the records. The records from Obama's office -- if he kept them -- would potentially show appointments with lobbyists, policy memos, meetings, etc.

• • Obama has supported more earmark disclosure to bolster government transparency. Last June, Obama disclosed the earmarks he requested for Illinois and national interests. However, his office, after repeated requests since June, has yet to disclose earmarks Obama sought in 2006, before he was running for president.

• • Obama does list the names of hundreds of bundlers -- people committed to raising at least $50,000 for the campaign -- on his Web site. He brags about the disclosure on the stump.

But that's literally all Obama does, list a name......"

In regard to the very first post,
we should take a hard look at this situation because Obama had promised us a open campaign, no more more politics as usual.

Well my friend, when you decline to disclose some thing , you are one of the usual politicians no matter who you are or who you say you are.


Edit: Strats,

According to Nostradamus, Obama could possibly be the anti-christ of politics.

Obama's not hiding anything of significance related to the presidential campaign. If you are interested in Illinois State Senate records you can initiate the contact yourself. Obama's has stated he has experience at bringing opposing parties together to get things done. This is a matter of public record and no one has disputed it. Unlike Hillary whose husband Bill has requested (by letter that Tim Russert exposed during the debate) his and Hillary's White House correspondences not be released till 2012. Hillary has continually stated she has experience to President from her years in the White House during Bill Clinton's administration. This is one of the four corners of her campaign that she stands on, but no one can have access to those records to judge whether or not she does have "experience".

The other major candidates Republican or Democrats are not nearly as transparent as Obama's campaign.

I used to figure nothing, but since he won't put his hand over his heart and say the pledge to the flag, I am beginning to wonder!

I'd ask the same question about Hillary's papers.

He hides what he can hide in plain sight.
