Remember when there was a fuss over John F'ing Kerry's military record having not been released, even after he promised we'd have it, pronto? And we're still waiting, four years later...
Well, so far, most of the information on Barack Obama's background lies buried, still. Everything from his birth certificate (in my mind, a non-starter, but tinder for the bigger, more burning questions, nonetheless) to his academic record to his deeper financial connections (how does he afford that house, Mr. Rezko?) to his history with his employers' law firm in Chicago is singularly unavailable to the general public. And members of the public have actually asked why we don't get to see all this, when it's standard practice for candidates to provide transparency. And, then there's the question of hows come the media haven't gone a-huntin' this stuff...
This morning, the Bat asked, "Why is it that Chicago's press could go digging around in sealed court records to find out about the non-scandalous 'scandal' of Jack Ryan's divorce, and could ruin one of Obama's opponents by doing the same, but can't seem to dredge up basic – even public – records about Obama?"
