He's definitely better than Howard Dean was.

Can't a few of his 300 foreign policy advisers do double duty as Obama document archivists?

So, it's supicious that his first grade report card hasn't been released?

Look. Obama has been the suspicious guy from the git go, for a year a half now. Everything that is known has been the subject of hypwerventilating allegatons, surmisals , imaginings and fabrications. All the time he has to waste in self-defense is time when he has been kept off message.

Does anyone really believe that any new scrap of information wouldn't undergo the same process of distortion? OMG, he shook hands with a Muslim in 1999!

If he wants to concentrate on the election, he really can't afford to waste time like this anymore. That's my guess for an explanation , anyway.
In his shoes, I would want to do the same. .

Well, I suppose there could possibly be some fire somewhere deep in this made up smoke. However, quoting an “update” on “texasdarlin's” “blog” (and really, she could be the only “blogger” (sic) with even less credibility than Larry “Whitey tape” Johnson on the entire intertubes) claiming he refused to release his Bar application doesn't count as fire, or even second-hand smoke for that matter. There's no citation, and a little Googling on my part – News and Web – turned up nothing on the subject at all. Throw in blogs, and the only references are (spoiler alert!) texasdarlin's site, Larry Johnson's No iQ, and various trackbacks to them – including yours here. (Pretty good though, for a post well over a month old!)

Jazz, I could go on, further critiquing the sources you mention, their credibility, and their agendas (again from the same post by our favorite li'l darlin': “No release of a birth certificate.” Well, um… yes, he did.) but this is a comment section, not a write-my-own-blog section, so I won't as it would be lengthy. There could be “perfectly innocent explanations” for your Very Serious Concern about an Obama “October surprise” but the tone of your posts for some time now leads me to think that, nope, there probably aren't. The concern you profess, lets face it, begins with an “H.”

It ended with “lost.”

The office records likely won't hurt him....the office manager can be scapegoated for that one.

Not releasing the bar application?? There's a juicy innuendo to fester. I smell a George Bush air national guard higher -up connections story.

Can't remember his own clients?? I can remember mine from 1974.

I'd have to know more about what sorts of records are usually kept for both attorneys and state senators before assessing anything. After all, it's not like Obama's the first lawyer to go to Washington. What's normal?
