This Will Be An Issue: 'Obama says he has no records to disclose from time in IL State Senate'

THis is remarkably different from saying 'IF there are any records from my time in the IL State Senate, then we freely consent to the full public disclosure of those records.'

Obama is going to have to do better than this.

PLUS you can bet that Republican Opposition Research has a full file folder of records and information from Obama's days in the IL State Senate they would use on him if he were to become the DEM Nominee.

Remember that of Clinton, Edwards and Obama --Obama is the only one to have not undergone an extensive opposition research effort by Republicans on possible Democratic Presidential Nominees.

2. I saw an article that said Obama did

have records that he won't release...on something called wordpress, I think. It was after he started to call for Hllary to release records, and then found Bill had requested they be released five years ago, but between bush's EO 13,233 and the slow search at NARA, they hadn't been.

If I come across it again I'll post it. But I think these candidates who think they are piling on Hillary ought to think twice, because stuff is out there on the internet and they might get caught in their own mess.

3. Obama had one assistant/secretary who is still alive presumably...

Wonder how long it will take for a reporter to track her down and ask her a few questions about where Obama's documents went, and what he worked on while in the IL State Senate.

A 'no comment' from her would raise red flags in a hurry.
