Who is Barack Obama?
It's not much help asking Obama supporters: they don't know and in many cases, don't care.
It's not much help to look at Obama's meager record. For a man running for president, Obama himself has made most of what little records there are, impossible to access.
It's not much help asking Barack Obama himself. Whenever it has been impossible for the Mainstream Media to ignore some aspect of Obama's record which does surface, he has run from it or insisted that he was unaware of what the record reveals.
* Reverend Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright? After vigorously defending Wright, Obama ran from him claiming that he sat in Wright's church for 20 years and never heard him say any of those unpleasant things about America.
* At first, Obama claimed that Bill Ayers was "just some guy from the neighborhood" or "one of the thousands of people I know". Bill O'Reilly bought it.
Others didn't. It was shown that Obama had a years-long relationship of working with Ayers, whose views on America (Every time I think of America, it makes me want to puke.") are well-known. Obama spokesmen first claimed that Obama didn't know about Ayers' past. Even that was hard for some in the MSM (Time's Mark Halperin) to swallow.
Obama then said he assumed that Ayers had been "rehabilitated".
We'll leave that as a judgment call.
* Obama's relationship with ACORN was something that Obama spoke proudly of--until the massive voter fraud was exposed. Then the Obama camp's position was that Obama "never worked for ACORN".

Who is Barack Obama?
Instead of asking questions, Big Media attacks those who do.
Instead of answering questions, the Obama campaign ignores them.
24 days before the election and a MSM that was buzzing about "anger" can talk about nothing but "hatred".
So we've had nearly 8 years of lefty assassination fantasies about George W. Bush, and Bill Ayers' bombing campaign is explained away as a consequence of him having just felt so strongly about social justice, but a few people yell things at McCain rallies and suddenly it's a sign that anger is out of control in American politics? It's nice of McCain to try to tamp that down, and James Taranto sounds a proper cautionary note -- but, please, can we also note the staggering level of hypocrisy here? (And that's before we get to the Obama campaign's thuggish tactics aimed at silencing critics.)
The Angry Left has gotten away with all sorts of beyond-the-pale behavior throughout the Bush Administration. The double standards involved -- particularly on the part of the press -- are what are feeding this anger. (Indeed, as Ann Althouse and John Leo have noted, the reporting on this very issue is dubious).

Who is Barack Obama?
Supporters mistakenly assert that Obama has released his medical records. On May 30, the L.A. Times wrote:
Although he hasn’t had a physical in 16 months, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been “in excellent health” and is physically ready to serve as president, his longtime physician wrote in a letter released by the campaign today.
The letter contained relatively few details but noted that Obama has a family history of cancer – his mother died of ovarian cancer and a grandfather of prostate cancer. A prostate-specific antigen test detected no issues for Obama, however.
Contrast this with John McCain.
The overview was contained in a one-page letter with no supporting documentation. “With no surgery or hospital stays, this is a complete summary of his doctor visits and medical records for the past two decades,” said campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki.The brief Obama letter contrasted with Arizona Sen. John McCain’s decision to let a selected group of reporters spend three hours with nearly 1,200 pages of health records last week.
One page from Obama's doctor vs. 1200 pages which John McCain allowed reporters to access. As an acquaintance remarked, "I've only been in the hospital once in the last 40 years and I've got pages of medical records. What gives?"
ABC News said much the same.
The release of a scant one-page summary for 21 years of care brought some criticism to the Obama campaign – especially when compared to the thousands of pages of medical records released by McCain.
Who is Barack Obama?
From the Berg v. Obama federal lawsuit, we "learn that Obama went by...5 different names with the lawsuit naming him as the defendant who is or was known as Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham, and Barry Dunham "
Five different names, the refusal to provide transcripts or school records, the refusal to provide an official birth certificate when asked in a lawsuit, and so on and so forth. I am sure Obama couldn't have done this all by himself. I'm sure he's had lots of help that got him where he is today and vie for a spot to become the President of the United States.

Barack Obama's lone legislative accomplishment in the U.S. Senate has been the introduction of his Global Poverty Act of 2007.
"...the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs."
Estimated cost? More than $2800 for every man, woman and child in the U.S.A.--billions more than the financial bailout bill.
Who is Barack Obama?
What's the big deal with Barack Obama and his aversion to releasing records that may shed light on his past?
When Stanley Kurtz was finally allowed access to the Anneberg Challenge records, they revealed a load of things the Obama campaign would rather not talk about--and the MSM didn't, except to whitewash the Bill Ayers connection.
We're curious. That the election is only 24 days away and the Obama campaign has gotten to this point without releasing these many records is an indictment of a Mainstream Media more interested in cheerleading than investigating.
Forget investigating--how about just asking some questions?
24 days until the election and we wonder, "Who is Barack Obama and why won't he release his records?"
One can only hope this will change before election day.
