Why has the government spent millions to suppress his past?
Have any other 1st world country world leaders done this?
Why has the media dropped this, instead of bringing it up until he comes clean and stops cowering?
Would any other major political player get away with this?
And what are YOU hiding, smoking gun, if that IS your real name?
Where are your essays? Why are you hiding this shit?
I am not employed by the taxpayer, so I have no obligation to provide my employees with any information.
Guess what Levi, it's copy and paste time!

Researchers have discovered that Obama’s autobiographical books are little more than PR stunts, as they have little to do with the actual events of his life. The fact is we know less about President Obama than perhaps any other president in American history and much of this is due to actual efforts to hide his record. This should concern all Americans.
A nation-wide network of researchers has sprung up to attempt to fill in the blanks, but at every opportunity Obama’s high-priced lawyers have built walls around various records or simply made them disappear. It is estimated that Obama’s legal team has now spent well over $1.4 million dollars blocking access to documents every American should have access to. The question is why would he spend so much money to do this?
The president who campaigned for a more “open government” and “full disclosure” will not unseal his medical records, his school records, his birth records or his passport records. He will not release his Harvard records, his Columbia College records, or his Occidental College records—he will not even release his Columbia College thesis. All his legislative records from the Illinois State Senate are missing and he claims his scheduling records during those State Senate years are lost as well. In addition, no one can find his school records for the elite K-12 college prep school, Punahou School, he attended in Hawaii.
We know very little about Obama’s academic performance. Sources state that he attended an elite K-12 school in Hawaii called Punahou School, but the school claims that his records are missing.
Obama attended the prestigious Occidental College in California. This is puzzling, however, because he has admitted in his book and elsewhere that he was engaged in heavy drug use while in high school. This seems to show that his studies were the last thing on his mind. How he got in remains a mystery and Obama’s attorneys have blocked access to those records.
Obama finished up his undergraduate years at Columbia College, but, again, Obama won’t release those records either. We have no information to suggest he was a good student. We do know, however, that he did not graduate with honors from Columbia. As the New York Sun writes:
"University Spokesman Brian Connolly confirmed that Obama graduated with a major in political science but without honors. Nevertheless, he was later admitted to Harvard Law School."
Obama has also refused to release his Columbia thesis, which was about nuclear disarmament of the West. Perhaps Obama is fearful that his thesis, which likely advocates the disarming of the West at the peak of the Cold War, would be seen as incredibly stupid – which it would be.
Obama at Columbia University
Indeed, the only article anyone can find written by Obama during his undergraduate years is one published by the Sundial, a campus newspaper. Titled Breaking the War Mentality, it’s an idiotic piece that reads like something out of the mind of a 14 year old. Moreover, it simply repeats the propaganda lines of various campus anti-war groups. He writes favorably of nuclear freeze groups, of whom, we now know – thanks to the opening of KGB archives – were being manipulated by the Soviets.
-----------------
He even hides stuff in his own books:
The guy's written two autobiographies for crying out loud. And just because - while often criticized for a lack of any executive experience - he forgot to include in either tome his stint as an executive for an educational foundation from 1995 until 2001 called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) it doesn't mean anything sinister or anything like that, honest.
Now, the CAC was started by that guy Bill Ayers. You remember him, don't you? Sure you do. Bill the Bomber, one of the founders of the Weather Underground of the 60s. They were terrorists who set off bombs back then, one even at the Pentagon. And the Bomber also hosted a party in his home for Obama where he announced he was gonna run for the Illinois State Senate.
So we have Barry serving as chairman of the board for the Bomber's CAC and later as a board member, forgets to mention it in either of his two books, and then when finally asked about his relationship with Ayers while he's a presidential candidate he said the Bomber was "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
-----------
The only plausible reason is that the articles are so bad that they would embarrass him. Like I said, if he's as good as he thinks he is, or that the media implies he is, he'd be proud to have his essays read by as many people as possible. But considering Obama said"
"I must say, however, that as someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my academic career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Review’s affirmative action policy when I was selected to join the Review last year, I have not personally felt stigmatized either within the broader law school community or as a staff member of the Review."
In other words, an affirmative action President. Do we all feel better inside now that we're absolving ourselves from the sins of our fathers?
