Sorry if this angle has already been covered, but new here and still trying to figure out how to navigate. Anyway, regarding the email about "Chicago Hot Dog Friday" , that was sent May 14, 2009. I figured why not start with the obvious, why did Obama buy 65k in hot dogs from chicago. Was he having some kind of event? Well, went to the Obama White House Archives and to see what his schedule looked like that day/week and of course, the archives stopped about 1 year after this email. The farthest it goes back is July 12, 2010. Not much of an archive if you ask me. Question is, what was Obama doing that day/week?

Maybe he was having some kind of fundraiser or something, who knows, but this should not be hard to find out, right?

You could even start before this and ask
Because the guy on the email is not passing along first hand knowledge. So where did he get this from? How would a guy in Texas know about this?
Doesn't "Chicago Hot Dog Friday" email, refer to things happening on Friday at that office? It's not describing the White House, it's describing what they are doing on Friday May 15th

Good points indeed. Exactly why we need an official investigation. But since we are not getting an official investigation, all we can do is speculate and look for facts and try to connect the dots. Why is the archive of Obama's schedule not complete? How can we find out?

I like this part.
I disagree with this part. We need an official investigation to figure what a guy said in a work email?
My hunch on this, by the way, is that this is anti-obama gossip.
