I watched 2016: Obama's America today

The documentary was correct, I certainly didn't know Obama before the 2008 election. It's hard to imagine an electorate can be aware of so much of his history. Given the competitive nature of journalism and media today, it's hard to imagine that more of his "scholarly" writings are not available. The documentary suggests Obama sought out and studied under very radical anti-colonialists. Hasn't any of his term papers from these periods survived? Based on the documentary, I'd gladly swap George Obama for Barack. By the way, I learned of the documentary right here in the Gulch Forum and went to the movie today! Thanks to the Gulch for creating that wealth enhancing opportunity for me.

    It is said that Obama has spent over $3 million keeping his records secret. I certainly don't think the mainstream media is at all competitive regarding vetting Obama - a gentlemen's agreement to "not go there".

    It should be possible to dig-up the teaching schedule of some of the Professors that Obama studied under at Columbia and Harvard. This is not to mention some of the classes he took while in Hawaii. The documentary states that Obama's Professors were very radical. I'd like to see a list of the things they wrote.

    Yeah, it's kind of funny how so many politicians get their past dug up but Obama's is still pretty obscure. Then I'm supposed to accept that there is no bias in the media.
