Why have any documents ???

Perfect

I’d love to hear the authors explanation of the difference between records and manuscripts. Its almost impossible to believe that copies of speeches, whether hard copy or digitalized won’t be there.

[Kaslin]

Oh he probably can, but doesn't want to, because it would prove that he is a fraud, to say the least and was never eligible to be President of the United States.

It's much to late for the left to wake up. He has sure fooled them.

Unfortunately they allowed him to do huge damage to this great nation.

No surprise there.

Clint Eastwood told US all we needed to know about obama.

Empty chair >> Empty library.

Well, we never had any documents before he was elected, so this comes as no surprise.

Maybe they’ll include his college transcript...

Truth be told, Obama would prefer a 1500 foot tall statue of himself be built, wearing a facial expression like that of Kim Il-Sung on all his official statues, staring out over Lake Michigan,

Now that's a statue I would support being torn down.

The physical documents will be elsewhere. But there will be digital access. Otherwise what kind of library would it be?

The Tribune tries to answer that question but succeeds only in pacifying Obama fanboys. There is no good answer, but there is an answer, and it is this: Obama is not a literary genius. In fact, Obama is not a particularly good writer. His reputation would wither if researchers were allowed access to original documents.

Sorry to say it but Jack Cashill is an idiot. If he said the documents won't be there so that Obama could redact them and change the digital copies reflect what he wants them to say rather than what's on the originals, that would be one thing.

But no, he has to go with his whole "literary" theme. The great mass of documents in any presidential library have no literary value whatsoever. That's not why they are there. They are workaday documents preserved for their historical importance. Many -- maybe most -- of them weren't even written by presidents.

Harris speculated, in fact, that Obama's newest effort would be a book for the ages,

ROFL!!! Yes, I'm sure it will be on the level of Shakespeare. LOL!

They have plenty of room to stock the bathhouse with cases of Obama documents:

[Lazamataz]

"The Obama Foundation is taking an unconventional approach to the presidential center and library being planned in Chicago. It's opting to host a digital archive of President Barack Obama's records, but not keep his hard-copy manuscripts and letters and other documents onsite."

That way, they can be revised as needed.

“Maybe they’ll include his college transcript...”

Sealed by his FIRST EO?!

[hal ogen]

It would be great if his “library” only featured a few things such as: his subpoena by a grand jury, his indictment, his court transcript, his waterboarding transcript and a video of his being frog-marched into a Fed SuperMax.

And then the dog ate it.

The “No Doc Baby Doc?”

Sometimes, when my hubby comes home from work, I will read him some of the more interesting things I have found that day. When BO was running for POTUS, there was an article in which some of the writings from his first book were excerpted.

About mid-way thru the article, everytime I would start reading one of these excerpts to hubby, he would look at me like, "is this grounds for divorce". The writing was awful. I remember stopping midway in something and saying exactly that --- this is horrible writing.

Meanwhile, the media kept telling me what a great writer he was! Just like they would tell us what a great orator he is -- until we realized that without a teleprompter, the guy was a dufus.

[Leep]

Obama’s and Clinton’s people probably destroyed most the interesting documents,anyhow.
