The Raw Story | Obama to release Reagan records kept secret by Bush: "The Obama administration is about to release 244,966 pages of documents from the Reagan White House that the Bush administration had held back for years during a review of whether to assert executive privilege.
Historians and advocates of government transparency have complained strongly about the Bush backlog, which Obama ended with an executive order signed the day after he took office that limits the review period to 30 days in most cases.
In a letter obtained by Politico, White House Counsel Gregory Craig informed the National Archives and Records Administration that President Obama 'has not asserting executive privilege over any of this material,' opening the way for their release."
Can someone PLEASE tell me why Obama can release all of these documents but his birth certificate and college records are still a state secret?
