I don't think you can call Steve Baldwin a journalist of any sort. The sources for his articles are Orly Taitz, Debbie Schlussel, "Techdude" and "Ron Polarik" -- all have been discredited - just read the birther thread. You can look up State Senator Obama's voting record easily here: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet90/sponsor/OBAMA.html
You pick the items that are debatable. But these issue really baffle the mind. Why would someone hide school and medical records when all others release them. In 2004 Kerry refused to release his Yale grades...because they were lower then "dumb" Bush. People hide info for a reason!!
I suspect Steve Baldwin is just a lazy blogger. It is evidently possible to look up some of the items he claimed are not available, such as the Illinois state senate voting records: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/votehistory/srollcalls91/pdf/src.html for example:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hzMas1bVidw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hzMas1bVidw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> This says it all.
I said your items are debatable. his voting record where he lived or was born, there are reasonable answers on both sides. But why the secrecy with medial and school records?
Obama DOESN"T read books, probably why he hides his school history. Why do people think he is smart? He talks a storm up. He is a con man. ____________________________ (CNN) â It appears President Obama has to step up his reading pace if he wants to beat his predecessor in one particular measure: how many books a president can polish off a year. In an interview with the BBC Tuesday, Obama said he is currently reading Joseph O'Neill's 270-page novel "Netherland," a book Obama first said he began back in April. If Obama is close to finishing the novel, that puts him on less than a 10 book-a-year pace, far less than the close to 100 books President Bush was reportedly able to finish in the same amount of time. According to former top Bush aide Karl Rove, he and the former president engaged in a friendly wager every year to see who could read more books. In 2006, Bush read 95 books to Roves 110: a Herculean pace of nearly two books a week â in an election year to boot â for the ex-president. But, according to Rove, Bush's reading slowed a bit in the final years of his presidency, finishing a not-too-shabby 51 books in 2007 and at least 40 in 2008. And if that's not impressive enough, Rove also said Bush found time to read the Bible "from cover to cover" every year. While Obama may have had to put aside âNetherlandâ last month in favor of pages of court briefs with a Supreme Court vacancy to fill, it nevertheless appears the president has some summer reading to do.
This kind of reminds me of 2004 when Kerry supporters said how smart Kerry was and how dumb Bush was then they released the records and it showed Kerry got worst grades than Bush. This is the typical BS libs love to put forward.
You should quit while you are ahead. http://mediamatters.org/research/200901250008 Original Rose interview: http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/9330
You have to be the biggest idiot I have ever seen. You narrowed down a 58 minute interview into 10 lines and act as if that is the entire interview. Why don't you watch the entire 58 minutes and you will get the same impression as that from which I posted.
