I think it is so sad that the focus of GOP (and some of their supporters) seems to be centered around malicious attacks, rumor-spreading, and dirt-digging. If they have some GOOD and USEFUL policies for this country to sell, they would not have all these free time to spread pollutions.
(just feel the need to add that this posting came right after Lucky's by coincidence, so she does not get all paranoid again....)

Perhaps someone can explain this further then, or correct me if I''m wrong.
From what I understand, Columbia keeps archives of dissertations...yet his is missing. I''m genuinely curious here...because if Columbia does NOT keep dissertations on record, or even just some, that would make sense to me.

Well I guess I''ll start a thread ''What''s McCain Hiding'' ... because I''d really like to see his unreleased FLIGHT RECORDS and whether he''s undergone any psychiatric treatment for PTSD, especially considering his reported suicide attempt while held captive. I''d certainly hope he''s gotten some kind of help -- as I imagine that time was horrific.

Obama''s professor remembers the paper. Here''s what he had to say about it:
>>So we turned for answers to the former professor who graded the now-elusive paper. His former professor, Michael Baron, recalled in an interview with NBC News that Obama easily aced the year-long class. Baron described the paper as a “thesis” or “senior thesis” in several interviews, and said that Obama spent a year working on it. Baron recalls that the topic was nuclear negotiations with the Soviet Union.
“My recollection is that the paper was an analysis of the evolution of the arms reduction negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States,” Baron said in an e-mail. “At that time, a hot topic in foreign policy circles was finding a way in which each country could safely reduce the large arsenal of nuclear weapons pointed at the other … For U.S. policy makers in both political parties, the aim was not disarmament, but achieving deep reductions in the Soviet nuclear arsenal and keeping a substantial and permanent American advantage. As I remember it, the paper was about those negotiations, their tactics and chances for success. Barack got an A.”
Baron said that, even if he could find a copy of the paper, it would likely disappoint Obama’s critics. “The course was not a polemical course, it was a course in decision making and how decisions got made,” he said. “None of the papers in the class were controversial.” <<

ditto zhuzhu. I didn''t think there was any conspiracy theory of hiding his UG senior thesis, but it was the only thing in the whole article that I would have wanted cleared up, just for academic curiosity.Date: 10/23/2008 5:47:28 PM

Thank you Maria, for taking the time to clear this up. Hopefully your thoughtfulness will put rumors at rest now.

This is a situation where I would say ''Cuckoo! Cuckoo!'' if it were in real life. I wish we had emoticons that made sound!

There is just too much that he refuses to clarify which is why I can''t trust him. Therefore, he won''t get my vote.
