"Ah, sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir..."

[librarycard]

My very RW relative just sent this to me. I couldn't find it on Snopes.com. Does anyone know anything about this latest RW anonymous e-mail that's making the rounds?

***********************

Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, Sir. Um . . I know you're busy, and important and stuff. I mean, running the county is very important and -- ah -- I hate to bother you, Sir. I will only take a minute.

Ok, Sir?

See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering, Sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says, boy, she wishes she had digs like this, you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow! I saw something like that in a museum once.

Oh, sorry Sir. I didn't mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island Sir? No? I didn't think so...

Well, listen, anyway, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "Not released" or "Not available." I'm sure it's just an oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are -- I -- I have them written down here somewhere -- oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you.

Could you please help me find these things, Sir?
1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- "Not available"
4. Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records -- Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- Not available
8. Your Illinois State Senate records -- Not available
9. Law practice client list -- Not released
10. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate -- Not released
11. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not released
12. Record of your baptism -- Not available

Oh and one more thing Mr. President, I can't seem to find any articles you published as editor of the Harvard Law Review, or as a Professor at the University of Chicago. Can you explain that to me, Sir?

Oh, but hey -- listen! I know you're busy! If this is too much for you right now -- I mean -- tell you what. I'll come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you're busy. I'll just let myself out. I'll be back tomorrow. And the day after. . .

What's that Mr. President? Who wants to know these things?

We the People of the United States of America ! You know, the ones that vote.

[BlooInBloo]

1. Thanks for sharing Teh Stupid.

[spanone]

2. print it out and leave next to toilet for future use.

record of his baptism???? bwahahahahaha muslims aren't baptised, they should know better :rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. print both sides just to be sure it gets used properly.

[babylonsister]

3. ...

[librarycard]

6. Has it been debunked anywhere in a consolidated fashion?

I'm looking for an URL so I can spend the least amount of time on it.

[BlooInBloo]

13. Ah. Another birther among us.

[Jazzgirl]

14. Did you ask if any of *shrub's documents had

been debunked anywhere in a consolidated fashion like his jacked up reserve records or anything else? Why are you passing this shit around?

[librarycard]

21. I don't get involved in discussions with the rellies

nor any other RW whackos, though if there were an URL for them to peruse, I may just give them something to nibble on.

[HopeHoops]

25. No, they found and published his DUI arrest record

And there are all kinds of documents showing he was AWOL.

[spanone]

15. why bother, idiots believe what they want.

[librarycard]

23. Agreed

After a few days with the rellies, I avoided all attempts at political discussion. I had an army vet, 21 years in the army, two years in Vietnam, with me and told him he could say whatever he wanted to them. He declinded.

Now they're trying on-line. Obama really has them twisting in the wind.

[babylonsister]

16. Who cares? Let the birthers have a cow over it. I don't care.

But here's a response: if there was anything at all to this, don't you think Senator Clinton would have been there to accuse Obama? And more currently, don't you think the rethugs would be salivating to get Obama out of the WH if they could?

[WeDidIt]

4. Ask your relative if he thinks the moon landings were staged

because he's as batshit insane as the moon landing denier fuckers are.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. I don't think the OP is in the habit of talking to himself. I could be wrong, though. -nt

[Robb]

7. "We the People of the United States of America ! You know, the ones that vote."

...Apparently not. :D

[Sal Minella]

30. Funny line, indeed. Heh. Little logic circuit hiccup there, eh.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

8. You know what's great about this bullshit?

The patronizing "I know you're busy" crap.......yeah he's busy.....fixing the mess YOUR RW ASSHOLE of an appointed president put us in!

[JHB]

9. Funny how they're suddenly such sticklers for old records...

I don't recall this sort of dilligence from that quarter about W's TANG records.

[KansDem]

27. Or concern over why Bush received a new driver's license number...

Past DU threads--

Does Bush* and others want the AWOL story in the news purposely?

Fineman smears Burkett on NBC Today but read the Newsweek article

I don't recall these same people questioning why Bush received a new driver's license before running for governor of Texas...

[SIMPLYB1980]

10. Man those people are a special kinda stupid. nt

[WillParkinson]

11. Wow...

The stupid. It burns. I'm sorry you have such relatives.

As for Snopes, I found this one regarding Occidental College Records: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/occidental.asp

Also found this, but it only touches on a few of your questions: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp

[librarycard]

19. Thanks, Will

I spent a few days with the rellies recently tolerating their making a lot of political comments that were essentially fishing expeditions. I didn't bite and probably won't on this one, but they keep trying.

BTW, did you know that America's problems all have to do with blacks, Mexicans, and illegal aliens? That's the result of living in isolation and near no colleges/universities.

[Hutzpa]

31. I'm surprised Will

can find those info and you couldn't find it for your relatives, it bugs the mind, yet
felt it was appropriate to post it here on DU.

[Curtland1015]

12. Ever been to Coney Island?

Oooooooh! Obama is SO BURNED!!!1!1!!!11!1

How can you be a President and yet have no proof that you've been to Coney Island!?

Take THAT Barack HUSSEIN Obama!

:P

[Arkana]

17. Yawn.

Send back this: BARACK OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

[scheming daemons]

18. Yeah... as soon as we see those Dubya TANG records.... as for the others:

Item #3: Isn't a thesis something someone does when working toward a PhD? As far as I know, Obama doesn't have a Doctorate, does he?

#1, #2, and #4: Have the college records for *ANY* President ever been released? If not... STFU.

#5: Yes it has. I saw it online. Can't find the link now.

#6: Have the medical records for *ANY* President ever been released? If not.... STFU.

#7 and #8: Publicly-accessible to anyone who wants to look it up

#9: This is attorney-client information and cannot legally be released.

#10: Been done. Also... no past President ever had to. Republican Governor of Hawaii has attested to the legitimacy of Obama's Hawaiian birth.

#11: Been done.

#12: No religious test for Presidency... it's in the Constitution. In other words... NOYB.

20. Thanks for taking the time Scheming.

appreciate it.

[HopeHoops]

26. Well, they did show a graphic of Reagan's penis in Time magazine.

Does that count?

[sinkingfeeling]

24. This same boring list has been passed around for a year now. There are some outstanding FOIA suits.

Occidental College records - Says the college, "The 1974 federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (34 CFR Part 99) protects the privacy of student education records. We, therefore, cannot disclose students’ classes, grade point averages, majors or other such information. President Obama's transcripts and other student records have not been released by Occidental."

However, your friend's a little behind with this stuff. Here's the same thing prior to the election: http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2008/08/senator_obama_w.php

August 5, 2008
Senator Obama, ' When will your documents and records be made available?' (Update - Was Obama's "birth certificate" forged with sister Maya's original?)
Topics: Political News and commentaries

The question of Obama's records has come up in the past, strangely never with any success (see NRO: "Why Is Getting Obama To Disclose His Legal Clients Like Pulling Teeth?"). This is once again pointed out in a post at Free Republic which provides a short list for the Senator who presumes he is already president:

1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- "not available"
4. Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records -- Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- "not available"
8. Law practice client list -- Not released
9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate -- Not released
10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not released
11. Harvard Law Review articles published -- None
12. University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None
I'm sure there's many more that would interest us - such as the client list of his law practice and his Selective Service Registration, but we can start with these.

And while we're on the topic of releasing documents, perhaps we should be asking about the claim that Obama's "birth certificate" was forged with his sister Maya's original. One would think that such a claim can be easily disproved by simply providing a valid original - if he dare show it.

28. You might find something in here

The Propoganda Debunking Group takes on a lot of this crap.

29. Most of that is already public records

tell this person to look them up for himself instead of falling for RW propaganda.

[timeforpeace]

32. I bet some of these things wouldn't see the light of day if it wasn't for DU.

[Contrary1]

33. Simple, yet to the point. I'm sure even the sender of this BS will see the irony...or maybe not.

YOU LOST. GET OVER IT!

[yodoobo]

34. Yes it has been debunked

google is your friend.
