“I was in the state Senate for eight years,” Obama said. “I had one staff person, that was what was allocated. I don’t have archivists in the state Senate. I don’t have the Barack Obama state Senate library available to me, so we had a bunch of file cabinets. I do not have a whole bunch of records from those years. Now, if there are particular documents that you are interested in, then you should let us know.” … “As I said, I didn’t have the resources to ensure that all this stuff was archived in some way . . . it could have been thrown out.”

Obama reminds me of a Dreamcycle...I can't wait for him to melt!

I call B.S on the Obama. A lawyer never throws out any, repeat, any records. They do just not do that. They keep every single note, email, scrap of napkin etc. that they ever do. I know about 3 dozen lawyers and they are all the same.

They do this so something they did years ago won't come back and bite them on the ass.

This is true of all the attorneys I've worked with.

Perhaps these documents were all flushed down the Obama campaign Memory Hole?

And I just saw Sandy Burglar's name dropped. Has it occurred to anyone that the famed Memory Hole may just be Sandy's sock? Someone may want to tackle him and check that out.

A bunch of stuff. No value at all.

SEN. OBAMA: Well, let’s be clear. In the state senate, every single piece of information, every document related to state government was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is available and has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb by news outlets in Illinois. The, the stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didn’t have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasn’t intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didn’t have 50 or 500 people to, to help me archive these issues. So...

MR. RUSSERT: But your meetings with lobbyists and so forth, there’s no record of that?

SEN. OBAMA: I did not have a scheduler, but, as I said, every document related to my interactions with government is available right now. And, as I said, news outlets have already looked at them.

MR. RUSSERT: Is your schedule available anywhere? Are—the records exist?

SEN. OBAMA: I—Tim, I kept my own schedule. I didn’t have a scheduler.

MR. RUSSERT: Senator Durbin, your colleague, publishes his schedule each day. Would you do that?

SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, these days I have a public presidential schedule that I think everybody has access to.

Canada brushes off pressure over Guantanamo inmate

"Our position has not changed and it's not going to. We're not going to blow in the wind on something as fundamental as this," Harper's chief spokesman Kory Teneycke told Reuters.

Extracts from the secret video show Khadr -- then 16 -- being grilled by officials from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service spy agency.

The film was released by Khadr's lawyers, who are pushing Ottawa to intervene with Washington on his behalf.

"Making a change at the 11th hour because his legal team is pursuing an aggressive media strategy is not in the interests of due process ... We're about doing what the right thing is," said Teneycke.

*BINGO*

The guy has basically been walking around the last 12 years shaking hands and engaging in small-talk and doing as little as possible. He doesn't have a record because he hasn't, you know, actually done anything.

Paper trails are bad for the enviroment.

I remember thinking when he gave the keynote speech at the Dem convention "who is this guy?".

And now, 4 years later, I am still wondering.

It is becoming more difficult to check his record when it appears that he does not have one!

To keep things in perspective, the missing information does not have to be anything illegal, immoral, or unethical; e.g. meetings with known terrorists, failure to pay social security for undocumented staff, etc. It just has to be something with political traction.

Yma! How are you doing today, Ma'am?

I've thought about this for months and my conclusion is thus: Obama was hand-picked very early on, probably while he was at Harvard Law, to be the Great Black Hope (or maybe more of a light mocha). He was given positions for which he was utterly unqualified and steadily moved up the ladder of the political machine. He benefited from some lucky breaks, like the Jack Ryan implosion, and from a lot of influence pulling and sneaky dealings. He was deliberately built up as an empty suit with no record that could hurt him. He was expected to run on hot air and biography -- he's biracial! he's new! hope 'n' change!

I suspect that Barak Hussein Obama's records, if they exist, will appear only when someone produces evidence of problems: major contacts with Rezko or other unsavory (read: corrupt) characters, direct involvement in one of the housing renovation failures, etc.

If the records don't exist, then, at the very least, BHO looks like a rookie. When you have contact with people, having a written record is good protection against later problems; if you don't learn to keep, and then keep, records, you're either incompetent, a fool, or involved (just like the accusers say).

If BHO is involved, well, the Chicago Machine isn't big enough to cover him nationally.

Spains acquits Madrid bombers

MADRID — A Spanish court absolved four men and upheld the acquittal of a fifth on Thursday in the convoluted legal proceedings relating to the 2004 Madrid commuter train bombings that killed 191 people in the deadliest attack by Islamic militants on European soil.

The rulings followed appeals of some of 21 convictions by a lower court after a five-month trial that ended in October. Seven other people were acquitted at that time.

Most dramatically, the court on Thursday upheld the acquittal of one of the bombing’s accused masterminds, Rabei Osman, an Egyptian, who was found guilty in 2006 in Italy of belonging to a terrorist organization.

Mr. Osman was arrested in Italy in June 2004, but disputed prosecution evidence citing wiretaps in which he was purported to have said he had conceived the idea of the attacks.

With the bulk of the convictions upheld and few channels of appeal now left available to those sentenced, some survivors said they saw Thursday’s decisions as moving toward the closure one of the most painful episodes in Spain’s modern history.

“No matter how many convictions or how long the sentences it will seem insufficient to those of us who lost life and limb, but I believe it closes an important chapter that needed closure,” said Jesús Ramírez, the former vice president of the bombing victims’ association, a survivor of the attack whose body was severely burned and riddled with shrapnel on a 7:36 a.m. commuter train from the town of El Pozo on March 11, 2004. The attack was one of several near simultaneous blasts on four commuter trains that day.

Much more than a little. Check her pocket for playing cards.

Not maintaining records is clear evidence of incompetence. It's presumptive evidence of worse, too. Who would promote someone like this to higher office?

[Gotta run back to work in a minute, so please excuse this post if its sloppy]

1. There are two ways a young up-and-comer gets ahead: his published ideas or his connections... and he didn't write anything. Connections must be the reason!

2. He was handed control of a $50 million political pressure organization by the Annanberg foundation when he had no track record and was only two years out of law school. Why? Could it be connections? You know who else has connections to the Annenberg foundation? Bill Ayers.

3. Even though his stewardship of the Annenberg foundation's Chicago school reform project produced no results, doors continued to open for Obama. No track record of success and no written record demonstrating a deep understanding of issues and society... but he still set records for fastest political rise. The reason..? Connections is the only answer that really fits.

Granted. My point is, however, that before June, 2004, BO was the Chicago Dem. guy, Jack Ryan was the (prohibitive, from what I was reading) favorite to win an open seat, and then - POOF - in an eight week period BO goes from a guy with a funny name to the media pick to be the next President. Even more suspicious than the feverish drum beating before Bill Clinton's 1988 speech to the democratic convention (we all asked "Bill Who?"). Just seems odd.

And Michelle may not exist, either.

That would certainly explain a few things, wouldn't it? Or maybe when he goes home at night, he closes the blinds, and then the entire top of his head swings open, and this little green Martian dude emerges.

Where's Sinatra when America needs him?

A few mornings ago as I was leaving home to start my day, I noticed a volunteer arriving to take up her position in the (ugh) Obama campaign outlet that's situated on the ground floor of my apartment building (so close I can smell it). Now, I certainly find Obama's socialistic political ideology repugnant -- and there's no way in hell I'll vote for the shlub-- but I did find myself briefly inclined to at least wander into his election den because the aforementioned volunteer was (without getting too salacious) all kinds of hot. Along the lines of Obama Girl hot. Yowza.

However, I was soon brought out of my (temporary) daze when I noticed the lone bumper sticker attached to her 1982 Toyota Hoopty which read, "Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Republican." Though not particularly prankish I considered whipping up a little sign to affix next to it which says, "They INSIST Upon It."

And then after fighting to free all humanity from the prisons that the non-existant bad guys have made, let's just call a truce & go home. The Matrix sequels were so bad they made the original worse.

A "community organizer" who's so unorganized that he somehow lost all his records? Who may not have even kept records? Who's within reach of the White House?!

And can somebody please tell me what in the hell a "community organizer" even is? This Obama character is such a fraud he'd be hard to create in a fiction novel. We are dooooomed if this guy gets elected. For real.

re: #131 Golem Akbar

Sounds plausible, except maybe a tad too conspiratorial. I do think he may be a constuct, not what he is being made out to be, but I doubt someone like Soros has actually created him out of nothing.

I recognize how crazy it sounds, and I'm not normally one to go in for conspiracies. I don't think anyone sat down and said, "We're going to make this man President." I think someone may have noted his Chance Gardener qualities and thought, "This is someone we can groom for higher office." Of course, after receiving so much help, Obama is utterly beholden to his masters' interests. If Soros is involved, he must have come into the picture more recently, probably after Obama entered the Senate.

Note that it isn't necessary to have BHO's signature on documents, to use them to ask questions of BHO, only that he would have been involved.

For example, state money from specific state legislative acts that went to BHO's district would involve BHO, and it is reasonable to believe that he had a hand in such votes. Some sort of quid pro quo must've happened, no matter his recorded vote. Get the names of the legislators involved, check newspaper reports, track down where the money went, talk to the recipients of the money, start asking questions.

The failed housing redevelopments come to mind; BHO's good friend Rezko (who made it possible for BHO to obtain a $2.6million house for about $1.6 million) was heavily involved, as was about $42million.

Yet several of the projects went bankrupt, and several are uninhabitable. For $42million?

How is this possible? Where did the money go (names)?

Trusting the state to investigate is a bad choice; sounds like a Federal investigation is needed.

Jack Ryan was never the favorite. I worked on his campaign, and he trailed in polls even before the hit job. It was always going to be an uphill battle against BHO or Hull. Ryan was a very good candidate and may have made a battle of it in the end, but he was never really close to BHO in the polls.
