Columbo Still Scratching His Head (But some things aren't public record.)

Perhaps you have seen the article from: http://www.nabble.com/Politics:--Columbo...Still-Scratching-His-Head-td19610231.html regarding the fictional, but lovable detective Columbo asking Barack Obama where certain records of his past are. However, some of these records (not all of them) aren't public information. Let me break down the list.

1. Occidental College records -- Not released
Private Institution. Only public record would be his degree, if any.

2. Columbia College records -- Not released
Private Institution. Only public record would be his degree, if any.

3. Columbia Thesis paper -- 'not available'
Must be published for peer review.

4. Harvard College records -- Not released
Private Institution. Only public record would be his degree, if any.

5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
PUBLIC RECORD! MUST BE RELEASED UNDER F.O.I.A.!

6. Medical records -- Not released
Private Record: Doctor - Patient Confidentiality.

7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- 'not available'
Odd, but not unbelievable in a state that lets dead people vote. (Rotten Record Keeping) Also odd that none of his peers on the other side of the aisle could dredge this one up.

8. Law practice client list -- Not released
Only those clients who moved to trial and did not settle out of court would have public record of being attached to him.

9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate -- Not released
PUBLIC RECORD! MUST BE RELEASED UNDER F.O.I.A.!

10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not released
PUBLIC RECORD! MUST BE RELEASED UNDER F.O.I.A.!

11. Harvard Law Review articles published -- None
Ne'er-do-wells are usually ne'er-do-anything.

12. University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None
Ne'er-do-wells are usually ne'er-do-anything.

13. Your Record of baptism-- Not released or 'not available'
Private under Separation of Church and State (1st Amendment).

14. Your Illinois State Senate records--'not available'
See number 7 above.

Now the big questions are...

1. WHY are the public records that should be available under FOIA being withheld This is federally criminal.

2. HOW are these records being hidden? (F.O.I.A. is a pretty straight forward law. It would seem like if Obama doesn't get into office, allot of cooperating bureaucrats are going to go to prison.)

3. WHAT reasons would he have to hide the other records listed here? (Form your own opinions!)

4. WHO in his past would he not want to be associated with? (Thesis and Law Practice)

5. WHERE was he actually born? (Birth Records)

Too many damn questions for me to even THINK of voting for Barack...

Oh wait... Democrats/Leftists are emotional thinkers, so to them, it doesn't matter what reality is, but only that it feels good.
