No, this is a myth. First, his records are not sealed; it has been pointed out by legal scholars that it is incorrect to say they are "sealed"-- this is something only a court can do, and that has not happened in this case. However, some of his records are kept private, and that is his right to do so. Under federal law, no-one is obligated to release certain documents unless they choose to: for example, medical records, college transcripts, etc., can be kept confidential. This does not necessarily mean the person is hiding anything: there are many reasons why presidents do not release certain records. It is also a myth that every other president except Obama has released every record; many presidents have kept certain records private. President Obama has made some information available, and reporters have seen those documents. But like all presidents, he has decided which documents he would release and which he would keep private. As time goes by, that may change, and he may release even more of his personal documents.
He has ordered his records sealed from view .
he sealed all of his records. apparently he was worried about what we might find
He paid nothing, since it never happened. This is an internet myth, spread by Donald Trump and some other people who are opposed to the president. Mr. Obama's records are not "sealed"-- which can only be done by a court; Mr. Obama was not involved in a criminal case and thus, his records were not sealed by a judge. In fact, his school records and his medical records are private because they are protected by the same federal law that has protected other presidents: no-one is under any obligation to release such personal records unless they choose to do so. Most presidents have not released those records, and not doing so doesn't mean the person has anything to hide. And it should be noted that President Obama has released a number of other records, including the past six years of his tax returns.
Obama had all of his college transcripts sealed from public view.
It means that whatever records are being referred to had had information removed AND they were sealed. Reply by Darren Chaker: To purge is to remove. Consider 'purging' information as deleting it from a database. To seal is to keep from public access, but is available to unseal if the one of very few reasons exist, do in fact exist. Otherwise, the sealed records are sealed forever. In California, the law provides broad power to determine what should be sealed if in the absence of specific law. For example, juvenile records must be sealed and destroyed upon the court granting the petition, adoption records must sealed by statute as well. Darren Chaker
Obama was born in Kenya - I have a copy of his birth certificate - why do you think Obama spent 2 million dollars of our tax money to pay 3 legal firms to seal and keep sealed his records ? This is wholly untrue.... Produce the birth certificate or stop lying.
Most those records are sealed.
Not erased, but sealed. The sealed record can only be opened under specific circumstances.
Is there any public record of this? Have the Obama's sealed this information? Then if so I say they borrowed nothing.
"Statutorily sealed" refers to a legal process by which certain records or documents are officially sealed by law, making them inaccessible to the public. This sealing is typically enacted through specific statutes or regulations to protect sensitive information, such as juvenile records or certain court documents. Once sealed, these records can only be accessed under specific circumstances or by authorized individuals. This process ensures confidentiality and privacy for individuals involved.
