It wasn't a COPY, or ANOTHER COPY; it's the original document.
That's what being a public servant in a democratic republic requires. We make a covenant with our government. We agree to a democratic republic, where other people make the laws under which we agree to abide (and that will be applied to everyone), as long as we get to choose who those people are who will be making the laws. It's on the basis of trust, and when you act sneakily, as if you have something to hide, people tend to question and doubt you. When we no longer trust in the process, when we no longer trust that the selection process by which our elected representatives is fair and accurate, or that the laws don't apply equally to all, or that our elected representatives have deceived us, then all bets are off. And no government can stand once that happens.
Even if what you're attributing to raclsm is accurate (it may be true for some, but not all or even most), so what? Producing documentation is no skin off Obama's nose. It's how you build trust. You meet each and every demand, especially when it's so astoundingly elementary (Constitutionally required) and so obviously easy to comply with.
Unless there's something to hide.
Obama was a candidate who ran on transparency after an administration that operated in secrecy, as a dictatorship, had brought this nation to destruction. No sooner did he get into office than he's adopted all of the previous administration's tactics, and even gone them one better.
