It’s almost starting to seem that way. The group Judicial Watch has sought to force both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to release the records that speak to their activities while in the White House (in Clinton’s case) and the Illinois legislature (in Obama’s). The only problem? There is no paperwork to speak of in Obama’s case:
Judicial Watch, which has been seeking access to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) records from her time in the White House, argued Wednesday that the Illinois senator, who has criticized the former first lady for a lack of openness, has his own “records problem…” “It appears that Obama never kept records of his time in the Illinois state legislature, or he discarded them,” Fitton stated. “Either way, he clearly intended to leave no paper trail.”
So which is it: was Obama cunningly minimizing his paper trail to protect himself from scandal and enhance his electability down the road, or was he destroying documents?
