I understand your reaction to this, USArmyRetired, but I doubt you get the nuances. FOI Act requests have to be responded to within a timeframe set by law. Any citizen can make one, and the DNC is not a government agency. Obama may not have even known about this.
Personally I'll be shocked if there actually is any such correspondence, but if it exists, there's nothing sinister about asking for copies.
What do you suppose they're going to do with anything they get?
This takes the cake. They even want it before the midterm elections on Nov 2nd. Now what we are seeing is hypocrisy at its finest. Obama never released records or correspondence pertaining to him but the DNC who never vetted Obama wants to see Palins, Romney and 5 other potential challengers records. I say lets see Obama's records first. After all, Obama vowed to be the most transparent president ever.
Exclusive: Democrats Ask Pentagon for Information on Potential Obama 2012 Contenders - ABC News
DNC Requests Records Related to Palin, Romney, Seven Other Possible 2012 Contenders.
The Democratic National Committee formally has asked the Pentagon for reams of correspondence between military agencies and nine potential Republican presidential candidates, a clear indication that Democrats are building opposition-research files on specific 2012 contenders even before the midterm elections.
An internal Army e-mail obtained by ABC News indicates that the DNC has filed Freedom of Information Act requests for "any and all records of communication" between Army departments and agencies and each of the nine Republicans -- all of whom are widely mentioned as possible challengers to President Obama.
The agencies are asked to respond to the request by this Friday, just four days before Election Day...

Oh please, Madelbrain, even YOU can't have that naive!
I'll tell you what they're going to do:That does not matter, Daveman. We live in an Open Democracy and apart from Top Secret materials (and some personnel files, trade secrets deposited by companies with the government and a few other exceptions that don't apply) anything you or I or the DNC or any other citizen wants a copy of is ours. We can wallpaper the bath with it, if we like.
Like Obama's birth certificate and college transcripts?That's OUR government, and those are OUR documents.
So does this mean Watergate was OK?

They're going to distort and lie about what's in the documents to make oh-so-outraged press releases and attack ads.
Useful idiots will believe the lies and distortions, and post oh-so-outraged threads on message boards in blue Book Antiqua font.

You know better than that. If a Democrat does something, it's perfectly angelic. If a Republican does the same thing, it's evil from Satan's armpit.
Just another abuse of power coming from the Socialists/Progressives. I'm not surprised by this. Shame on anyone who defends this. When the tables turn i'm pretty sure those who are defending this,will have a completely different opinion. Socialists/Progressives are dishonest hypocrites for the most part.
Doesn't matter. The useful idiots will believe what they're told, and repeat it as gospel.I'll tell you what they're going to do:That does not matter, Daveman.

If the documents exist...how would it be easy to "distort and lie" when these documents are quite accessable? I would think that if one is going to "distort and lie", they WOULD NOT want those documents available....don't you?
I repeat: What is the DNC going to do with these documents?So does this mean Watergate was OK?

Watergate was a botched burglary that Nixon attempted on the DNC headquarters, and a cascade of events that flowed from it. It is off-point in a discussion of Freedom Of Information Act law.
