No, I don't. You're talking about basic privacy regulations, applicable to any of us. For example, go try and get someone else’s college transcripts without a court order. See what they tell you.

OK. If the BC is protected that well by NORMAL LAW, then why did Obama write a PRESIDENTIAL ORDER to have it and all his other documents SEALED?

Especially when it is known that things like Birthplace can become an issue in a Presidential Election (like happened to McCain)?

He didn't. That's another one of the baseless myths trumpeted to keep this whole silly issue going.

The Executive Order you're referring to (13489) deals with the process of how “Presidential Records” (i.e., records generated while one is President) are archived and accessed. Basically, it lifted the more restrictive access protocols imposed by Bush II, restoring the process to approximately what Reagan established when he was in office. It has absolutely nothing to do with Obama’s personal records before he was President, and is not even particularly interesting.
