Artful Dodger: White House Evades Answering Questions about Obama’s College Records & Transcripts
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on January 18, 2012
More tap dancing, more stonewalling, more evasion, more “don’t pay attention to that man behind the curtain” nonsense from the White House about Pres. Barack Obama’s failure to disclose any of his college records or transcripts.
Or his elementary school records.
Or his high school records.
Or his files from his years as an Illinois state senator.
Charles Dickens’ Artful Dodger is an amateur compared to White House Press Sec. Jay Carney.
From WND, White House dodges Obama’s college transcripts — Evades question with comment about tax documents:
The apparent stonewalling at the White House over vast areas of Barack Obama’s background continues.
In response to a question today at the daily news briefing that concerned Obama’s college records and transcripts, press spokesman Jay Carney said it was a good idea to have presidential candidates release their tax records.
Tax records?
Yes.
The question came from Ed Henry of Fox News.
“Now, I don’t know how many years – maybe you do – George Romney released of his college transcripts, but Republicans like to complain the president has not released his college transcripts. What is the stated reason for that?” he asked.
“I’d refer you to the campaign. I mean, I think,” Carney started.
“Is it a question you could take,” Henry said.
“Sure. I think we’ve answered this a bunch. I think that the tradition of releasing income tax records for presidential candidates, for serious potential nominees and nominees of the two parties is well established. It’s not a law, but it’s well established. And it’s one that this president abided by when he was a candidate as senator. It’s one that numerous Republicans and Democrats have abided by, and we just think it’s a good idea,” Carney said.
Les Kinsolving, WND’s correspondent at the White House, previously has raised the issue of documentation for Obama several times, getting shut down each time, starting with Robert Gibbs when he was Obama’s press secretary.

Among the other documents not released by Obama are his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.
He released a “Certification of Live Birth” during his 2008 campaign, stating it was the only document available to confirm his story of his birth in Hawaii. Then in 2011 he released an image of a Hawaii “Certificate of Live Birth” saying that confirmed his Hawaii birth.
But experts in computers, imaging, documents and text all have stated that the image released by the White House is no more or less than a fraud.
The first time Kinsolving posed a question about Obama’s eligibility, Gibbs’ response was to guffaw in unison with members of the Washington press corps about the concerns of hundreds of thousands of petitioners who demanded it.
From Real Clear Politics, Carney Dodges Question About Obama’s College Transcripts: “I Would Refer You To The Campaign”:
White House press secretary Jay Carney is asked why President Obama hasn’t released his college transcripts. Carney dodges the question and tells the reporter, Ed Henry of FOX News, to ask the campaign.
Carney then talks about candidates and releasing their tax returns.
Ed Henry, FOX News: “I don’t know how many years, maybe you do, George Romney released of his college transcripts, but Republicans like to complain that the President has not released his college transcripts. What is the stated reason for that?”
Jay Carney, White House: “I would refer you to the campaign.
“I think we’ve answered this a bunch. The tradition of releasing income tax records for serious potential nominees, and nominees of the two parties is well established. It’s not a law. But it’s well established. It’s one this President abided by when he was a Senator. It’s one numerous Republicans and Democrats have abided by and we think its a good idea.”
