Obama has an interesting track record with court involvement in his political career. After Mel Reynolds was indicted for sex with a minor, Alice Palmer ran in a special election to take his place in Congress. Alice Palmer gave up her IL. Senate seat and endorsed Obama who replaced her. Alice Palmer lost that special election for Reynold's seat and came back to run against Obama for her old seat in the IL. Senate primary.
Obama challenged Palmer's nomination petition signatures and she was disqualified from running. The media pressured the court for Blair Hull's sealed divorce records and when released showed he had a violent history and Obama won that primary.
Obama ran against Jack Ryan in 2004 Senate race. Obama petitioned the court to have Ryan's sealed divorce records made public. Ryan's divorce records revealed a sex scandal in Ryan's past and he withdrew from the Senate race.
Allen Keyes ran as a stand in candidate at the last minute and Obama won that Senate seat. So now with Allen Keyes challenging Obama's eligibility the cycle has come full circle.
Obama is not above the political fray he's in it to win it. Credit to him. The Petitioners want a copy of the vault certificate and the Obama team is not going to give it up. It will take a court ruling and Obama has been there before. Obama has been very smart and legally tactical to get where he is today.
The voter has every right to ask a candidate for documented reference without reproach. The media has failed to meet the standard definition of journalism.
