Hillary releases records, what of Obama's State Records?

[Moderate-Democrate]

Look what Obama said on meet the press: Nov 11, 2007.

You talked about Senator Clinton having records released from the Clinton Library regarding her experience as first lady, and yet when you were asked about, “What about eight years in the state senate of Illinois,” you said, “I don’t know.” Where, where are the—where are your records?

SEN. OBAMA: Tim, we did not keep those records. I...

MR. RUSSERT: Are they gone?

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.

Can any one explain this? Where are his records, why is no one asking this question. Obama must be hiding something. Maybe who he meet with. He kept no records. Hum.

[PVnRT]

1. Yes, he was a state legislator

Most of them don't have staff to manage and publish their schedules.

[redqueen]

2. Will you stop disassembling? You mean *schedule*, not records.

I'm still curious to see Hillary's earmarks, myself.

[Hepburn]

3. Hint....

....his records as a state senator are...:eyes:...PUBLIC RECORDS.

How exactly does he release something which is already open to the public?

The State of Illinois has them...you want them? Go to the source, OK?

Duh...

[Moderate-Democrate]

4. Did you read what Tim asked him?

[redqueen]

5. Yeah, we seem to comprehend it better than you.

:hi:

[Moderate-Democrate]

7. Well explain this

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.

He (Obama) kept is schedule, so where is it?

[redqueen]

8. Yup... *schedule*.

Are you unable to discern the difference between his RECORDS as a state senator, and his SCHEDULE?

[Moderate-Democrate]

12. So can you tell me where it is?

His *schedule*. You mean to tell me he did not keep it. A politician, he is hiding something.

[redqueen]

16. Why ask idiotic questions? Of course I can't tell you where it is.

I shouldn't need to tell you he didn't keep it... you posted his assertion yourself. :eyes:

ONCE AGAIN: Politicians do these things. I'm MUCH more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt than her... do you know why?

[Moderate-Democrate]

21. Well

If you can not tell me where he put the info then he should.

[rodeodance]

17. at one time Obama said they were in a box-yes he did. But can't find the box now either.

[Obamanaut]

29. Perhaps the box is in the same place as the missing Whitewater papers

[CreekDog]

25. you mean his calendar?

there may not be a calendar --it would only be there if he had one and kept it. for all we know, he kept post-its in his wallets to keep track of upcoming meetings -or he kept it in his head.

[Ilithiad]

11. Duh...

is right and who cares about those records any way. Only those interested in a smear campaign would want those kind of records and those who evade the question of what they contain or where they are at are dishonest. I think Obama stated very clearly those records are released for public viewing and if he says he did not have a scheduler so what. Not everyone keeps a schedule book.

[Moderate-Democrate]

22. Oh so you do not have the same standard for Obama

[bowens43]

6. more mindless , irrelevent chatter from another hillary crusader/newbie.....

isn't that cute?

[Moderate-Democrate]

9. Well, good one, lol

[redqueen]

10. Do you mean cute in an ...

"awwww, look what they're still waving around as if it meant something" kind of way?

[pocoloco]

13. Does moderate mean....

Wah Wah Wah... If Hillery don't win I'm gonna vote for McCain like the rest of the Trolls infecting DU today???

[Moderate-Democrate]

23. Troll

Oh so you can not deal with someone who disagree with Obama.

[City Lights]

26. 23 posts young and already calling others a troll.

:spank:

BTW, what's a "Democrate?" Is it some sore of crate for demonstration material?

[Moderate-Democrate]

34. I was responding to some one else

[rodeodance]

14. a few weeks ago--judicial Watch can't find them either.

[rinsd]

15. Sigh....inexperience shows as bombs are thrown the 1st day

:eyes:

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. Do YOU keep a schedule?

Do YOU have someone keeping track of every meeting YOU go to?

MOST people don't. There are official records. When investigating official business, that is the record.

[Moderate-Democrate]

24. I am not a politician thus

Obama should stop trying to be a clean politician and tell us the truth.

[tabasco]

19. Where are Hillary's Senate earmark requests?

Obama has disclosed all of his.

You screech for records from a state legislator when Hillary The Con hasn't released her Senate records!

Obama's state records are publicly available. A state senator with one secretary doesn't have a library full of records.

More "let's make shit up to deflect" from the despicable Hillary campaign.

[Moderate-Democrate]

27. Does that equal Obama's missing info?

[BlueIdaho]

20. Tempest meet teapot. nt.

[Obamanaut]

28. A five page transcript, and you missed this big one

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21738432/
<snip>
MR. RUSSERT: Hillary Clinton was first lady in Arkansas, first lady at the White House for eight years, U.S. senator for seven years. Can you compete with that?
<snip>

How in the world can anyone expect Sen Obama to compete with a resume' that includes all those first lady years?

edited to separate my comment from the text of the transcript

[Moderate-Democrate]

30. You can duck and dodge the post

I will not move away from this thread. You can spin all day but he will have to answer this question.

[jackson_dem]

31. He played poker with lobbyists in Illinois. What was said during those "games"?

[Texas Hill Country]

32. he "lost" them.... LOL

[kwenu]

33. Stupid post. Obama is correct. No one gives a shit about a state senator's schedule.
