Obama's Records: Obama Campaign Still Refuses Release of Medical, College Records

Barack Obama's Refusal to Release Records:
Medical, College, University Records Off-Limits
Why?



"Every time somebody turns over a rock of Barack Obama's past, something unpleasant crawls out."
--RE Bierce, in email to DBKP

---

The Obama campaign refuses to release Obama's medical records--as well as Obama's records from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard.

Why is that?

Perhaps it is because, as one reader put it, "Every time somebody turns over a rock of Barack Obama's past, something unpleasant crawls out."

The Mainstream Media refuses to press the issue.

Why is that?

In the Chicago Tribune's case, it's because they have a vested interest: the Tribune asked Obama to run for president in 2006. Obama's campaign mastermind, David Axelrod, used to work for the Chicago Tribune. One would assume he still has a few friends that work at the paper.

And friends do favors for friends.

The following video details a few unpleasant facts about Barack Obama and what little is known about his past: his association with Bill Ayers, ACORN, Jeremiah Wright, and the list continues.



We saw the video on a post entitled, "The Smoking Gun Obama Post" at Infidels are Cool site.

The "smoking gun post" has a collection of links that ask a host of questions that would most likely make the Obama campaign uncomfortable--if they were pressed on the issues by MSM reporters.

But, they haven't been.

Among some of the links in the IAC article (comments below the links are by IAC's Infidelesto:

• Video: Dear Mr. Obama: Who are you?
  "This one absolutely knocks it out of the park. One of the best videos I’ve seen this whole campaign. Watch it…"
• Video: Flip Flop Barack
  "A recent article at Real Clear Politics lays out Obama’s “pivots” on a huge number of issues. I think the thought here is that now that Obama has won the Democratic nomiation, it is essential to politically move towards the center if he is to seem somewhat credible in the general election."
• Devastating Video for the media to ignore: Obama talks about job Bill Ayers Gave him as qualification for US Senate
  "How did Obama’s time on the Annenberg Challenge board go from being a key bullet-point in his resume — by his own accounting — to one the media refuses to even mention?"
• Another radical connection to Obama: Rashid Khalidi
  "Wow, I can’t even keep track of the number of radical connections Obama has that have come out in the recent months."
• Obama wants change including $845 billion more for global poverty Why Obama’s circle of friends matter

The post at Infidels are Cool lists another 11 links in their list.

Plenty of questions about the ever-shifting narrative offered by Team Obama.

NewsMax investigated the claims made on Obama's "fightthesmears.com" and found that the 'Smears' About Obama Largely True.

"Smear" being the word for any uncomfortable information that has surfaced in the media or on the Internet.

Why does the Obama campaign refuse to release Obama's medical, college and university records?

Two reasons: one, the Mainstream Media allows them to get away with it. It's unthinkable what the outcry would be if John McCain had refused to release his records. In fact, in May, because McCain delayed in releasing his medical records, there was such an outcry.

The second reason for the refusal?

The refusal suggests the Obama campaign is afraid of what those records might reveal.

Who is Barack Obama?

It's not much help asking Obama supporters: they don't know and in many cases, don't care.

It's not much help to look at Obama's meager record. For a man running for president, Obama himself has made most of what little records there are, impossible to access.

It's not much help asking Barack Obama himself. Whenever it has been impossible for the Mainstream Media to ignore some aspect of Obama's record which does surface, he has run from it or insisted that he was unaware of what the record reveals.

* Reverend Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright? After vigorously defending Wright, Obama ran from him claiming that he sat in Wright's church for 20 years and never heard him say any of those unpleasant things about America.

* At first, Obama claimed that Bill Ayers was "just some guy from the neighborhood" or "one of the thousands of people I know". Bill O'Reilly bought it.

Others didn't. It was shown that Obama had a years-long relationship of working with Ayers, whose views on America (Every time I think of America, it makes me want to puke.") are well-known. Obama spokesmen first claimed that Obama didn't know about Ayers' past. Even that was hard for some in the MSM (Time's Mark Halperin) to swallow.

Obama then said he assumed that Ayers had been "rehabilitated".

We'll leave that as a judgment call.

* Obama's relationship with ACORN was something that Obama spoke proudly of--until the massive voter fraud was exposed. Then the Obama camp's position was that Obama "never worked for ACORN".

Who is Barack Obama?

Instead of asking questions, Big Media attacks those who do.

Instead of answering questions, the Obama campaign ignores them.

24 days before the election and a MSM that was buzzing about "anger" can talk about nothing but "hatred".

So we've had nearly 8 years of lefty assassination fantasies about George W. Bush, and Bill Ayers' bombing campaign is explained away as a consequence of him having just felt so strongly about social justice, but a few people yell things at McCain rallies and suddenly it's a sign that anger is out of control in American politics? It's nice of McCain to try to tamp that down, and James Taranto sounds a proper cautionary note -- but, please, can we also note the staggering level of hypocrisy here? (And that's before we get to the Obama campaign's thuggish tactics aimed at silencing critics.)

The Angry Left has gotten away with all sorts of beyond-the-pale behavior throughout the Bush Administration. The double standards involved -- particularly on the part of the press -- are what are feeding this anger. (Indeed, as Ann Althouse and John Leo have noted, the reporting on this very issue is dubious).
--Glenn Reynolds, NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE?

Who is Barack Obama?

Supporters mistakenly assert that Obama has released his medical records. On May 30, the L.A. Times wrote:

Although he hasn’t had a physical in 16 months, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been “in excellent health” and is physically ready to serve as president, his longtime physician wrote in a letter released by the campaign today.

The letter contained relatively few details but noted that Obama has a family history of cancer – his mother died of ovarian cancer and a grandfather of prostate cancer. A prostate-specific antigen test detected no issues for Obama, however.

Contrast this with John McCain.

The overview was contained in a one-page letter with no supporting documentation. “With no surgery or hospital stays, this is a complete summary of his doctor visits and medical records for the past two decades,” said campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki.

The brief Obama letter contrasted with Arizona Sen. John McCain’s decision to let a selected group of reporters spend three hours with nearly 1,200 pages of health records last week.

One page from Obama's doctor vs. 1200 pages which John McCain allowed reporters to access. As an acquaintance remarked, "I've only been in the hospital once in the last 40 years and I've got pages of medical records. What gives?"

ABC News said much the same.

The release of a scant one-page summary for 21 years of care brought some criticism to the Obama campaign – especially when compared to the thousands of pages of medical records released by McCain.

Who is Barack Obama?

From the Berg v. Obama federal lawsuit, we "learn that Obama went by...5 different names with the lawsuit naming him as the defendant who is or was known as Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham, and Barry Dunham "

Five different names, the refusal to provide transcripts or school records, the refusal to provide an official birth certificate when asked in a lawsuit, and so on and so forth. I am sure Obama couldn't have done this all by himself. I'm sure he's had lots of help that got him where he is today and vie for a spot to become the President of the United States.
--The Two Faces of Obama: Who is He?

Who is Barack Obama?




Barack Obama's lone legislative accomplishment in the U.S. Senate has been the introduction of his Global Poverty Act of 2007.

"...the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs."

Estimated cost? More than $2800 for every man, woman and child in the U.S.A.--billions more than the financial bailout bill.


Who is Barack Obama?

What's the big deal with Barack Obama and his aversion to releasing records that may shed light on his past?

When Stanley Kurtz was finally allowed access to the Anneberg Challenge records, they revealed a load of things the Obama campaign would rather not talk about--and the MSM didn't, except to whitewash the Bill Ayers connection.

We're curious. That the election is only 24 days away and the Obama campaign has gotten to this point without releasing these many records is an indictment of a Mainstream Media more interested in cheerleading than investigating.

Forget investigating--how about just asking some questions?

24 days until the election and we wonder, "Who is Barack Obama and why won't he release his records?"

One can only hope this will change before election day.

Baby Grace Timeline: “She Could Be From Anywhere In The World”

An Unofficial Timeline Of The Case Of Baby Grace


---October 29th, 2007
Green’s Cut, Galveston Bay, Texas



Image [Google Earth]

A man fishing in a remote area of Galveston’s West Bay known as Green’s Cut finds a plastic storage container on a marshy sand bar. Green’s Cut is located about five miles southwest of the Galveston Causeway. Investigators in the sheriff’s office look into the Bay’s tides to determine whether the container drifted from another location.



Inside the blue plastic Sterlite-brand model 1842 container, a little girl wrapped in plastic bags.

In an interview with Crime Library Texas Equusearch Case Manager Cindy Wisdom said that there was no water in the container, “only sand and grass.”

“We do not believe she is from our area, because no one local has reported a missing child matching this description," Cindy said. "She could be from anywhere in the world. There are ships that pass through here, so she could be from anywhere."

Galveston County officials put out an alert to participants in a fishing tournament held the prior weekend in an effort to find out whether any participants had seen anything unusual. Purportedly the tournament was a benefit to aid children.

---October 30th

Dubbed Baby Grace by Galveston investigators, more information was released to the media plus a plea to help solve the mystery of who the still yet unidentified little girl.

A preliminary autopsy report indicated one or more skull fractures, but further examination was needed to determine the time and cause of death.

“Baby Grace” was white and weighed between 25 and 30 pounds and stood about 32 to 35 inches tall. She had light brown or blonde hair that reached to the middle of her back.

Galveston County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Pustilnik said the little girl had been dead for at least two weeks, possibly more.

---November 3rd

A forensic dentist determined that Baby Grace is between 2 and 3 years old. The Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the child had been dead for at least two weeks and suffered from a skull fracture.

Hundreds of tipsters from around the country contacted Galveston authorities with possible leads to help identify Baby Grace after sketches were released.

"We're sorting through a lot of leads," said Major Ray Tuttoilmondo with the Galveston County Sheriff's Office. "Nothing has hit a home run yet."

Tuttoilmondo added that several callers said they believe the child's body, which was discovered by a fisherman late Monday, may be that of Madeleine McCann, a 4-year-old British girl whose disappearance from a resort hotel in Portugal in May has made international headlines. In September, Portuguese police formally identified Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann as suspects in the case.

"Based on the totality of the circumstances, we do not believe it's her (Madeleine)," Tuttoilmondo said adding that the Sheriff's Office is also working with FBI authorities to completely rule out the possibility.

Could these girls be Baby Grace?

By Sara McDonald
The Daily News

Published November 8, 2007
GALVESTON — Three little blonde girls with light-colored eyes from across the country have captured investigators’ attention.

They’ve all been reported missing in the past four months, seemingly abducted by noncustodial parents.

But most interesting to the investigators at the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office is that their height, age and weight are similar to the characteristics of the girl they’ve named Baby Grace, whose body washed ashore last week.

---November 12 – CBS News Reports Hundreds of tips flood police, number of possible matches now up to “two dozen”

Investigators on Monday said at least two dozen girls reported missing from across the country match the physical description of the child investigators have named "Baby Grace."

Investigators were pursuing 170 active leads and on Monday were conducting follow-up interviews with people who had given promising clues, Galveston County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said, according to the Galveston County Daily News.

---November 13: Identity of "Baby Grace" Still a Mystery

In the two weeks since Baby Grace has been found, police have sifted through a mountain of phone calls, tips and information. They've been working diligently, trying to answer the question: Who is Baby Grace?

The case has sparked the interest of millions both around the Internet and around the world. Vigils have been held and money collected for rewards by volunteers.

Why is that? Why the interest in a unidentified body found in a remote Texas fishing area?

It may also have to do with the initial speculation that the body may have been that of Madeline McCann. Interest in the McCann case has been heavy in Europe, and particularly, the U.K.

Perhaps it's because some of those interested have a daughter or know a little girl down the street, or at church or in their neighborhood between the ages of 2-4. Next time they see that little girl, they may say a prayer that she's alive, standing in front of them; that she wasn't washed ashore in a cooler wrapped in plastic.

She could be any little girl, from anywhere in the world.

Whatever the reason, the identity of "Baby Grace" remains unknown. After two weeks of work, prayers and efforts, the only picture of her is a composite. That picture is how millions know her.

Until the mystery of her identity is solved, that picture will continue to haunt many who follow the case of "Baby Grace".
