Interestingly, that whole "Birther" issue may not have been as "out there" as it's been portrayed.
Copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College indicate that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship..
In any case, there's the little matter of whether or not Barry satisfied legal requirements to appear on the ballot down South, and yet another little problem: United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records.
Why would Barry do that? Didn't he promise "the most open and transparent administration in the history of the country"?
At least one thing's pretty transparent: he wants to be King.
"... $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year ... to block disclosure of any of his personal records."
That doesn't sound campaign-related.
What's he hiding?
Everything, apparently.

I've heard that Barry's spent close to a million on blocking release of information, but this is the first actual sourcing I've found.
