have been the last. I think Obama see`s himself like another Nelson Mandela. Though Mandela saw from later in his life that the USSR was not to be in the cards when he got the chance to have it there in South Africa when released from jail of 30 years. Obama is not Mandela, not a thinker just a tinker. He`s looking like another Bonaparte that has meet his Waterloo not as a Mandela, but with another Nelson of fame as Lord Nelson in the man of Ron Paul no less. check out on Wikipedia on the executive order 13323 as you stated and the previous executive order 13489 composed by Gonzalez and Bush that pre-dated the former order....what is protected is the historical records of the Presidency in general and not specific to Obama...he is your President and the records when he is finished as President will be pro-offered up for historian to manage and evaluate on his information that has been protected....that is my simple read of the orders,,,elsewise the data as in Nixon's waterfgate and the Hoover files will be destroyed and lost in historical time due to reprisals on information damaging .to aspects of the presidency in real time..some information has to be protected...thanks Big Al...you spurr a lot of political debate amongst my Canadian Family which we have found very enlightening even within our own limited Canadian political lives...may the best man win in the next election.... I think that issue got buried last week.
