Now, "We the People" would like to see those tax returns (undoctored of course) and a list of the library donors. It is not that difficult to get copies of tax returns so please stop stalling.

How convenient that there would be a memo stating the release of these schedules after Obama's speach. Seems to me that someone felt they had to do something to cut-off the speach that Obama just gave.

Why was there not a press release yesterday.

Where o where could those tax records be, o where o where could they be?

Important Note:

"11,046 pages of schedules that are being opened, 4,746 have redactions. The majority of the redactions pertain to the privacy interests of third parties, including their social security numbers, telephone numbers, and home addresses."

Ok so 43% of the files contain redactions. The MAJORITY of which pertain to privacy interests.

What are the MINORITY of those redactions composed of?

Keep in mind that a majority is more than 50%, so up to 2,400 pages could have redactions that fall in the minority. It is important that they explain this minority of redactions as well

Does this mean that we do not have the NAMES of the people she had meetings with?

So what, she should have released them before this point. She has only been thinking about running for president since Bill's presidency ended.

Good move on her part to over shadow Obama's speech about what's plaguing America.

Let her keep them. We know what type of person she is. Hummm, where's scbrown, patty, john doe and her other negative surrogates.

They know her record so good and her marvelous deeds, they shouldn't need the records to tell us how great she is. (Nails on the chalkboard).

Moneygall is Offaly pleased with Obama connection

... one of the leading candidates for the presidency has roots in the Faithful County. Research has revealed that Barack Obama, an Illinois senator and Democrat hopeful for the 2008 presidential elections, is descended from a shoemaker in Moneygall, Co Offaly.

Previous investigations had indicated that Obama's third great-grandfather on his mother's side, Fulmuth Kearney, had emigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1850. Obama's father, Barack Obama snr, was a goat-herder from Kenya, while his mother, Ann Dunham, is from Kansas. The 45-year-old senator was born in Hawaii in 1961 and is battling Hillary Clinton, among others, to be the Democratic candidate for next year's elections...

Fulmuth Kearney (19) sailed from Ireland to New York in 1850...

Obama's Irish Roots (ITN)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4wZuEnoEZU&NR=1

---------

BARACK IN SCRANTON, PA 3/17

Before he arrived Monday, his supporters added a shamrock-shaped apostrophe to campaign signs between the first two letters of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s last name.
The apostrophe was designed to give the senator an Irish flavor to match the weekend’s festivities.
Who knew he really is part Irish?
Mr. Obama, with a dark jacket but a green tie, told a crowd of 500 at the Society of Irish Women dinner at the Radisson at Lackawanna Station hotel that he recently found an ancestor of Irish descent...
The dinner stop was part of Mr. Obama's first campaign visit to Scranton, the third in a series by the major Democratic presidential contenders, and another sign of the frenzied campaigning sure to inundate the region and state before the April 22 primary election.
... "Drinks are on me," Mr. Obama shouted as he entered the Franklin Avenue bar and restaurant through the rear door.
... After an hour at a private forum with veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars at Whistles Pub and Eatery, Mr. Obama spoke for only 10 minutes at the dinner.
... Mr. Obama said he favors having a federal system that helps struggling veterans rejoin society, including transitional housing.
If elected, Mr. Obama said he'll strive to secure screening for [post-traumatic stress] disorder before soldiers arrive home, boost the number of VA counselors and sensitize battle commanders.
"Until the administration sends a message that this is important and the top brass sends a message that this is important, it probably doesn't get done," he said. "The notion that you wouldn't have service available to you is inexcusable."
... Inside, Mr. Obama noted St. Patrick's escape from slavery, and compared his family's story to that of Irish Americans.
"A distant homeland, a journey across an ocean in search of opportunity, a determination to grab hold of hope and the American dream," he said.
"Here in Scranton, Irish Americans overcame the signs that read, 'No Irish need apply' and 'No Irish allowed," he said. "Through hard work and determination the Irish thrived."
"There's a reason why America identifies so strongly with St. Patrick. It's a story in believing in things unseen, making that leap of reality."

You people complain whatever Hillary Clinton does. Makes me wonder if you all are afraid that she is telling us the truth about her experience and this will make Obama and his campaign look foolish.

I also did not feel his speech today was anything special. Same old thing. I am a black female and I am not angry as Obama made it sound for all blacks. He is just using reasons to excuse his POOR JUDGEMENT.

“Not this time.”

When you stop to think about it, these simple words may turn out to be the most brilliant three words ever uttered in American politics. They will stand like a barrier to any who try to cross the line of racial divisiveness. Whenever anyone says a black person cannot be elected president, we answer “not this time.” Whenever anyone tries to blame their own economic problems or other woes on minority groups, we answer “not this time.” Whenever someone tries to smear a candidate with personal attacks, we say “not this time.” And whenever some other right-wing pundit opens his mouth to say something stupid about Barack Obama, we should all answer resoundingly …

“Not this time.”

Whether you LIKE Hillary or not, we KNOW way more about her and what she would do as a politician than about Obama. Obama's wifes college thesis was about black separation and her understanding why blacks separate from rich white people. She can honestly say that this election "is the first time in her life when she's been really proud to be an American"? Obama and wife go to a church which "damns America" while promoting strong black communities. Clinton's baggage has all been thouroughly examined but Obama's dirty laundry is just starting to spill out. You know the speach but you don't KNOW the man.

This is all getting very tiresome. The Obama speech is over and we will now await for a few more superdelegates to announce their endorsements of Obama over the next few days.

But just to make it clear. Could you please post once again those delegate leads that Obama has and your comments as to how it is impossible for Hillary to catch Obama even if she wins PA and was awarded the Michigan and Florida votes. Is it not a pretty far gone conclusion that once all the primarys have been concluded that Obama will most likely end up at the convention with a delegate lead of 200 - 250. And do you really expect the uncommitted superdeleagtes not to throw in with Obama with that kind of lead?

That's cute. I wonder how much she paid off staffers to redact other things -- she was implicated in stealing FBI files in the past.

Why is she still hiding her taxes and her link to a 1.2 million dollar campaign finance fraud felony, which is right now, currently, being subpoenaed in LA courts?

She's a piece of work.

THE manchurian candidate for the GOP. Do other people NOT realize that. Between her creepy religious ties to Samuel Brownbeck and Joe Lieberman through the evangelical cult she's in to her very odd voting patterns and her one-time republicanism, that should be a no-brainer.

Too bad voters are hecka dumb.

You should add "literacy" to your voting exit polls. Many Americans are illiterate. I think they constitute the entire populace of Hill's crumbling electorate.

Why does she have to be so much like Bette Davis as Baby Jane? Depressing for women.

there are laws about this — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:04:08 GMT

Okay. I'm getting pretty sick of the arrogance of some of the posters on this blog who have no brains about most of what they are writing. When you are a professional person meeting with other people, you CANNOT just freely reveal private things about those people. So though the public (mainly obamaheads) are clamoring for Senator Clinton to be transparent, that doesn't mean she can't break the law in terms of other people's rights to privacy. As a psychologist, I cannot reveal my patient list, much less anything about those patients. My husband is a nurse, and he cannot even tell me when he gets home that a friend of ours is in the hospital if he happens to see him/her there. While you may think you have a right as a voter to know what all Senator Clinton did while she was First Lady, that right does not extend to the people with whom she was meeting. That is just the reality of our right to privacy laws. Do you realize that in a library they don't even have library cards in the back of books anymore so that you won't be able to see that so-and-so checked out a certain book. So some of you just need to chill and shut your pie holes about stuff you don't have a clue about. How would you feel if a friend of yours were running for public office and and suddenly every time you were together and what was discussed became public record. Does that sound like a great idea to you? And it doesn't matter anyway. What do you think is going to be in those records? Some incladestine meeting with the Ku Klux Klan? Let's get real. It's all politics. Anti Clintonites will take whatever is in there and figure out a way to make some of it look bad for her. She's been in this game long enough to know how that works and I'm sure she's ready for it. The Archivists are the people that have to worry about whether they're illegally revealing private information about third parties--WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW. Wake up nerd heads.
