I have always been quite skeptical of the birther claims. In fact, I still am. Regardless, I am baffled that most people seem uninterested in Obama’s murky past. We already know that much of his career has been the result of affirmative action. (For instance, he was hired to teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago – a top tier institution – yet had not published a serious academic paper and seems to know very little about the United States.)
Now Diana West brings to light some detective work by John L. Work, a retired policeman and detective in Colorado. She writes:
“One of the bonuses of writing a syndicated column is the mail that comes in from across the country, from outside the Beltway and beyond the Bos-Wash corridor, often presenting the opportunity for fruitful exchange with similarly concerned fellow-citizens. One such exchange, which has been going on for years now and has developed into a long-distance friendship, is with John L. Work, a retired policeman and detective in Colorado with 24 years service in law enforcement and investigation with police and sheriff’s office, as well as the Colorado public defender’s office.
John, whose analysis has appeared at this website from time to time, has pulled together something very unusual and important, which I am publishing below. It is in the form of an affadavit, the kind of document he used to put together as a detective, amassing evidence in this case about the apparent concealment of documents attesting to the identity and activities of President Barack Hussein Obama. The fact is, the birth certificate controversy is only the beginning of the presidential mystery. There is so much we don’t know for certain about President Obama. Inexplicably but intriguigingly, he has failed to produce his bona fides, while the media (and the White House media in particular), who could ask for them, don’t care, or don’t want to care.
I culled from John’s affadavit what is undoubtedly an incomplete list of the Obama documents that we, the people, have just never gotten a look at due to Obama’s decision not to let us look.
Sure, there’s (1) the original, long-form 1961 Hawaiian birth certificate. Then there’s:
2) Marriage license between Obama’s father (Barak Sr.) and mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) — not found, not released
3) Obama’s baptism records — sealed
4) Obama’s adoption records — sealed
5) Records of Obama’s and his mother’s reptriation as US citizens on return from Indonesia — not found, not released
6) Name change (Barry Sotero to Barack Hussein Obama) records — not found, not released
7) Noelani Elementary School (Hawaii) — not released
Punahou School financial aid or school records — not released
9) Occidental College financial aid records — not released. (These records were, however, subpoenaed but Obama lawyers succeeded in quashing the subpoena in court. No other Occi records have been released.)
10) Columbia College records — not released
11) Columbia senior thesis — not released
12) Harvard Law School records (not mentioned below, but not released)
13) Obama’s law client list — sealed
14) Obama’s files from career as an Illinois State Senator — sealed
15) Obama’s record with Illinois State Bar Association — sealed
16) Obama’s medical records — not released
17) Obama’s passport records — not releasedThat’s a lot of records sealed and not released. But there’s much more to “the case.” Read it and see what you as an American citizen think….
[Work:] Wherefore, this writer believes he has shown reasonable grounds to believe that Barack Hussein Obama has deliberately, unreasonably and with guile concealed nearly all records of his personal documented history from public scrutiny; and that requests to view those records are reasonable, rational and within the American People’s province. This writer believes the People of The United States have a right and responsibility to demand that all of the afore-described sealed records be released in order that the electorate may examine them to finally determine who Barack Hussein Obama really is, and whence he came.”
Nicholas Stix also brings to our attention:
“[WND’s Chelsea] Schilling’s report also states: a) In 1982 Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia University in NYC. b) that while he claims to have been active in the Black Student Organization, no one among a number of prominent student leaders interviewed by the New York Times recalled Obama being there. c) that Fox News contacted 400 Columbia students from that time period – and not one of them remembered him. d) that Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983, but school officials claim they do not have a copy of his senior thesis. e) that Obama has refused to release his Columbia transcripts.”
Why do we know so little about the most powerful man in the U.S.? Never before has one accomplished so little to advance so far.

Maybe people are naturally incurious about these things. I never really wondered about Bush’s college grades or residency statuses. Maybe it’s just a failure of civic spirit on my part though.
Obama appears to be acting pretty wisely by keeping it all secret though.

“Maybe people are naturally incurious about these things.”
Surely some are. But a lot of people are deliberately suppressing their natural curiosity. The left because they like Obama. And some elements of the middle and right because they are afraid of being labeled conspiracy theorists.
I would like to see his grades because I think they would prove he is a serious affirmative action case, but I don’t really begrudge him not releasing them. Or the medical records. But the passport records, repatriation records, etc. are a must see. My guess is that at some point or points in his life he claimed Indonesian citizenship. And may have used more than one SS number.

No, they’re afraid of being called racists.

“No, they’re afraid of being called racists.”
Well that too, but fear of being labeled a conspiracy theorist in the case of anything “birther” related is a big part of it.

Journalists had little problem acquiring GW Bush or John Kerry’s transcripts at Yale — even if they had to use dubious methods. The odd thing about Obama is that many of his records are under lock and key. Surely, many investigative journalists have insider connections at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard, but they are unable to get copies of his transcripts — and many have tried to do so. Likewise, that his senior thesis at Columbia is unavailable is odd, as all theses are generally public and stored in a university’s library.
My guess is that Obama is an even bigger affirmative action lackey than people suspected.

The America that is interested in Obamas birth certificate has a grand total of no more than 5% of interested readers, All the rest
of America is listening to Rock,Rap, and country music. The press know this so show little interest in forcing the issue. Besides Obama
is doing such a piss poor job that his birth certificate should be the
last thing we should be pushing. In fact his college affiliation’s and
his prior job experiance are the reasons why his economic policys
are not working, Trillions we dont have for his budget that is destined for failure. I would advise Americans to start saving Rice
and beans and buy a shotgun to protect it. Please dont be so foolish
as to ignore the truth, America is in for some very tough times ahead.
