The press is digging through all of Sarah Palin's emails--yet we still haven't seen Obama's college transcripts? What a joke our national media is. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/10/alaska-releases-palin-e-mails/?hp
sincere question: why do you want to see his transcripts? I thought everyone wanted to see his birth certificate?
Those aren't transcripts, and ... Wayne Madsen? He's one of the few 'journalists' viewed as a kook by both the left and the right.
Don't you think Palin's record as governor is a little more relevant to the public interest than Obama's record as a college student? Last I heard, college student is not an elective office. barfo
No. Palin's record as governor isn't relevant at all, since she hasn't even declared if she is running for president. Obama, on the other hand, is already in the oval office and yet we have never seen his college records. I'd say we have a much greater right to know everything about the guy running the country than we do about someone who has no political power at all.
I never saw George Washington's college records either. Maybe his presidency should be revoked retroactively.
Or maybe we should just ask our media to be as interested in the past of our president as they are in the past of a woman who doesn't even hold elective office.
I do not care for the past of the president, only for the future of the country. He is the president. He was elected. Get over it.
So no political figure should ever be investigated for malfeasance unless they are currently in office?
The whole thing is a bunch of crap. EVERY, and I mean EVERY politician has hundreds and thousands of emails that can either be spun the wrong way or are stupid or sophomoric... So who gives a damn about her emails as gov of Alaska except for people whose sole intent in their lives is to act like assholes?
Alaska law requires disclosure of these e-mails upon request. They were requested 3 years ago, probably around the time that Troopergate was going as her e-mails played a large part in that investigation. Also she was running for VP, so why not get that info. She was a public official and she knew(or should have known) the law. Some of the e-mails were redacted or held back for one reason or another. It's doubtful there will be anything amazing in the e-mails. It's new information & people will probably find it interesting, just like they find the Nixon tapes interesting. Some of the stuff she says in the e-mail could be interpreted in a positive light as well, so I am not sure why you're getting hyped up. Also Clinton only sent... two e-mails as President & the Internet didn't really exist as we know it for probably half(or more) of the lives of most people in a public office.
