Rezko Trial: Obama Consulted on Board Picks

So, … there is non information here?

obama knew the SYRIAN slum lord
for 20 years and also contribute in his
(obama) campaign when HE ran for office
in CHICAGO.So how can you say he was not
involved in the alleged corruption that
tainted the BOARD.Again tip-toe around
OBAMA.

Health Facilities planning board? Does this tie in to Michelle O’s 200k raise?
I can only imagine what is going to come out next and I wonder if the media will cover it or continue to pretend that all of this is on the “up and up”
Sounds like Obama is less of a “change” candidate than he would like us to believe!!

This man Obama comes with to much baggage,it can’t all be just rumors!

The media has had pain trying to het something on Obama’s record and it has been daunting. To say he is not vetted is not true. They have been investigating him for a while and all they have is this. I will vote for him if this is all they have.

This does not even begin to pass the “smell test”. Have to hold your nose if you vote for Obama. This already stinks to high heaven and just stay tuned. There is lots more to come. Oprah is in this up to her ears as well.

I smell something funny. It’s funny that people here see something coming down the pike that “may” be negative stuff for Obama and his followers revert back to Hillary and her decade and a half old scandals. It amazes me that Ken Star investigated these allegations against HRC and found nothing but people still want to believe that she is quilty. People really are afraid of strong powerful woman.

It is becoming increasingly clear that O’Bama and Clinton are carrying some pretty heavy baggage. This is just the tip of the iceberg for O’Bama. Sitm watch and enjoy the show that has just begun. How did we end up with these two for our candidates?

Unfortunately for Sen. Obama it’s almost inevitable that the ongoing Rezko corruption trial is going to bring out very damaging stuff. The Chicago press has already been all over him for this, and the national media will soon be forced to cover the “dirty old politics” of Sen. Holier-Than-Thou.

Makin’ a Mountain out of a Mole hill…
This is just too much fun for one fool…

did you people catch this:
“The memo does not say how much influence Obama had over the process of picking members for the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board, AP said.
And it did not indicate Obama was involved in the alleged corruption that later tainted the board.”
The only apparent fact in this article is that Obama was 1 of 8 consulted in the appointing of a state board that later is being accused of wrong doing. No where in this article or any other does it prove that Obama has done anything illegal. He’s not even being investigated. Can someone, anyone post a like with proof that Obama did anything wrong or is even being investigated for doing anything wrong… Waiting

Folks keep talking about the “Clinton scandals”. Fact is, those “scandals” were investigated aggressively and spread on the front pages of all the major media at that time. Bottomline – nothing was found.
Obama on the other hand has not been investigated, and has gotten kid glove treatment by the press. Now, he may also come out squeeky clean in the end, but will that happen in time for the general election? Can Dems take that chance? And, what if he is not found to be clean? What do we do then?
Folks, we have serious business in this country – we need solid leaders with proven track records. My vote – Hillary. If she is not the nominee – McCain. Plain and simple.

This IS significant. Obama is proving to be the old-school political insider he constantly harps on. I am starting to wonder if his decision to run for president right now, after emphatically stating that he wouldn’t, has anything to do with the dirt that will be found on him as the Rezko trial continues.
I really hope that if Obama had shady dealings that we find out right now instead of after he is elected president. The more we learn about Obama the less he looks like the bringer of hope and change he claims to be.

Good point Heidi!! If entering into a deal with someone who is under investigation is not Horrible judgement I do not know what is!! This is some of the worst judgement I have ever seen!!

It’s about time Obama is summoned to testify in court about Rezko.
The media is too shy to report Obama’s wrong dealings with Rezko for 20 years.

The issues are not as simple as the Obama supporters would like every one else to believe. Mr.Rezko is a very corrupt political dealer who bulit very
unsafe buildings. Mr.Obama continued to write support letters for this individual and curried favors from this individual small and big ones including large sums of campaign money and assistance in buying house. Mr.Rezko is not an acquaintance but a very close ally of Obama. Mr.Obama is lying through is teeth!!!

What’s worse is that Rezko was being bankrolled by a British/Iraqi guy named Nadhmi Auchi (who had ties to Sadamm Hussein). He made a huge money transaction to Rezko just before the questionable house deal involving Obama. Do a search on Auchi. Wait until this guy’s name comes up in the Rezko trial.

I just read a post by a Clinton supporter that “this man (Obama) comes with too much baggage. How can we support him.” Is this person a supporter of Hillary Clinton, you know, the one who served as Bill Clinton’s co-president who proudly proclaims the “vetting” of her baggage? Here is the intellectual height Clinton needs all her supporters to reach and not exceed to have a prayer.
This is the Bush Justice Dept and the Attorney Generals left in it are the one’s who did not lose their jobs for refusing to perform political prosecutions.
This is also Clinton the fighter’s machine. I would lay money odds on any number that if Bush or Clinton actually had anything of Obama he would have been carted off before Rezko and the others and he would have been offered a deal quicker and better than any deal OJ’s Vegas co-defendants got. LOL.

Believe me, the republicans have a few more dump trucks of dirt, they have loaded up and waiting for the correct time for MR. OBAMA.

Heidi,
Don’t forget his ‘judgement’ in hiring dopes like Samantha Power and Austen Goolsbee.

How about Hillary showing her Tax returns so we can judge both candidates in a fair and equal manner? I can’t believe people are listening to her when she hasn’t been transparent at all.

This is terrible for the democratic party.
He needs to address this and his ties to that terrorist.

It’s frightening that people are choosing to just ignore things like this. Is this a sign of immaturity? This needs to be looked at for people that are being put into office.

The paper trail between Rezko and Obama is a long one, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, with Obama writing endorsement letters for the developer to get big government housing projects. Obama also hired as an intern the son of a Rezko associate who was later convicted of fraud. And after the City of Chicago had to sue Rezko for not providing heat to low-income tenants, Obama remained on good terms with him, getting all those political contributions and $625,000 towards the purchase of a home. In the end, however, the national media will likely devote more coverage to Hillary Clinton’s tax returns.

Factcheck2:
You write as though your information is factual…..ha, ha, ha, …
Now, what do you know?

This is day one of a corruption trial …don’t expect to know everything after one day…just pay attention..don’t be impatient..
and guess what…Hillary’s tax returns and other docs ..Kenneth Starr examined all to the tune of 40 million plus and found nothing..you were all so sure he would..
i predict hillary releases tax returns on april 15th..nothing scandalous in them..and then the messiah will really look exactly like Ken Starr..
we shall see..or as Hillary says about rush..”Be careful what you wish for..”
by the way this story will break right before the Florida/Michigan re-do vote..and guess who will win both…?
that’s right. good night and good luck.

How long has Michele Obama been employed in health care field? Hope for them it was before Rezko involvement and this health committee assignment…because that would be a bombshell if her employment could be tied (even loosely) to this assignment. Oprah’s angel…may lose a few more wings…
If Obama is the nominee..anyone for Ralph Nader?

JR – ok let’s talk about the Clinton scandals. 40 million of our tax dollars were used to investigate. Crimes committed by Hillary Clinton = 0. Best they could do was expose a sexual impropriety that is irrelevant to the job as President. Vetting and investigation into Obama has just begun and may yield crimes committed by Obama.

factcheck2… I did research of my own and was shocked but not surprised. There is so much out there. I once supported Obama but not after all the negative info i read about him and wife. I am now considering voting for Hillary Clinton. Hey i came across a web site with the some very scary facts on Obama and his wife. Wow ! it’s crazy.
I see he is no better then Sen. Hillary Clinton or McCain. I’m glad that people like you are posting facts like the Rezko/Obama story.
What scum bag

The curious thing about Obama & Rezko is the denial & big lie at the SC debate with Clinton & Edwards.
When Obama tagged Clinton with her time on the Wal-Mart board, she shot back with “what about your ties with the slum-lord Rezko?”
No, he shakes his head & says “NO, NO, NO”. He went on the say he only knew him thru about 5 hrs of billing for the lawfirm he worked for. Clinton got boo’d. Obama took SC by a landslide. That Sunday, the day after the SC election, Obama went on a news show & confessed he & Rezko were friends & he was a fundraiser for 20 yrs.
WHY the lie? Shortly after, Anderson Cooper “Keeping them Honest” did one little small glimspe into this.
They produced a letter, on the US Senate letterhead of Senator Barack Obama,on behalf of Rezko. To assure the parties concerned that Rezko was on the up & up. That’s a pretty good reference. From a Senator.
So my questions are these >>>
How do you say Obama is innocent of all dirty dealings?
How many of the swindles would not have happened if he wasn’t Rezko’s “character reference”?
Were any of the “deals” that now find Rezko in jail a result of Obama’s letters of reference? There is something here not yet discovered or not yet made public. He lied too hard, to fast & too much to have clean hands. And it was done in public on that debate stage in Myrtle Bch, SC.

Health Facilities Planning Boards – These groups control allocation of high ticket items like MRI’s, Chemotherapy centers, Cardiac Care centers – and represent an enormous opportunity for graft or “pay to play” schemes. The fact that Michelle Obama moved from law and advocacy to the the University of Chicago Medical system while Rezko was consulting with Obama about appointment to this board bears looking into. There is more here than meets the eye.

This is just the starting for Mr. Change man…. The more we research on this guy, more we will find he is not what he is trying to portray himself……
I hope people see this sooner then later…

I have a great idea! If there is any possibility that someone is guilty, lets throw them in jail. Why do we have to find the evidence. Also, lets forget about history so we can make the same mistake again. Forgot all the things the Clintons were accused of and later was found to be false. Forget that, throw Obama in jail. Proud Americans know he is guilty. Stop Obama!!!

Wow! Reading all these comments makes me wonder why so many people are willing to give Obama a pass. I think they are worried that they’ll find out that Obama is not the Saint he claims to be. Are we going to risk losing the Whitehouse on this guy.Well,I guess I’ll have to wait for universal heathcare for another 8 years. Thanks St.Obama.

The truth will come out and Obama’s doomed forever. It’s the end of Barak’s “Chicago Way.”

Hillary, please don’t offer him a ticket to be VP! After months
of the media adulation, they are suddenly realising that Obama is all talk.
The race is on and your message of experience is getting through.
He can promise “change”but change is the only real permanent thing in life, it happens, whether he makes hollow promises, or not , so his promises carry no weight! SOLUTIONS are what people want to see!
With regard to Rezko, the question to President Nixon on Watergate was
:What did you know and when did you know it ??
Therefore the most important questions for Obama is :
When did you know Rezko was under scrutiny, under indictment
and when did you separate yourself from him and his associates?
Until he answers that, he is not fit to run for President, there is
too much “sleaze”about to surface.

US DEM. NEED TO BE PULLING TOGETHER AND NOT FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE REP., I KNOW WE CANT TAKE FOUR MORE YEARS OF A REP. PRESADENT. I HAVE MY PICK OF THE CANIDATES WHICH IS SEN CLINTON BUT IF SHE DOESENT GIT THE NOM., I WILL VOTE FOR SEN. OBAMA ITS A MUST, WE HAVE GOT TO PULL TOGETHER AND ELECT WHICH EVER WINS THE DEM. NOM..A SIXTY YEAR OLD WHITE MALE. THANK YOU.

No matter how you throw it. Dirt is still dirt.. Mr. Obama is silent because this is just the tip of the iceberg. This could bring him down if he is found to be more involved in this corruption trial.

Hillary and Bill has pictures of them taken with Rezko! Im sure Rezko has donated to Hillary’s Campaign as well!

The news media outlets are describing New York State Gov. Eliot Spitzer, as one of the democrat party shinny star, upcoming, holy clean, new hope in the democrat party? Sound like the description of another upcoming democrat’s candidate (Obama).

Obama has several scandals. The Iowa independent reported in October of last year about a coup that Obama started so Hillary would be the sole person left on the Michigan ballot. He wanted her to look bad so she would lose the votes in Iowa. Several joined him but Dodd and Kucinich did not. He succeeded — Iowans are very particular about their first caucus status and Obama’s coup worked. Often we wonder why someone has crooked friends — who would be willing to borrow half a million dollars+ even if you are broke — like Rezko. It is not surprising now. The reasons are coming out. The politician who talks hope is really the leader of a political coup. He has so many fools in his bag. I am so glad that I am not one of them!!

Obama has been in the national spotlight for less than 2 yrs – most of it as a media sweetheart. When anything remotely negative comes out, you Obama-bots claim – “that’s not bad” or “at least he doesn’t have a ‘Clinton-sized’ scandal.” I’d love to read your book of moral standards. You can’t selectively label morality and ethics. You’re exposing your own ignorance, due to your bias for Obama. That being said, it’s acceptable to say “I realize Obama is not perfect and I don’t feel these character flaws or lapses in judgment are relevant to being POUS.” If that’s what you mean, then say it – show some guts. The Clintons have 16+ yrs in the national spotlight – don’t try to make the comparison at this point. The question is whether you are willing to bet that this is the ‘end’ of Obama’s indiscretions. And before it comes up – let’s just put the “He gave the money to charity” argument to rest. This doesn’t right a past wrong. Should a murderer be exonerated if he donates his gun to the police? I think not.

This is exactly the kind of situation that the SD’s in the democratic party are needed for – in the event a presumptive nominee is not the right one for the country. Let’s let the prosecutor do the job they were hired to do and see how it pans out. Then the SD’s can do their job.

little by little the truth will come out. You don’t have a near 20 year relationship with a corrupted person like Rezko and State ” I did not know that about him”. Obama is either delusional or so naive , he doesn’t deserve the American peoples trust. Slowly Obama releases info on Rezko and himself. It is the responsibility of the media to make all information available to the American people. Electing a President is serious business.

If people really wanted an honest politician, we would have supported Gravel, Kucinich or Ron Paul. If you ask me, Americans love scandalous, extorting, warmongering, and fraud committing presidents. It just makes the news that much more fun to read. And the late night comics need material.

This is exactly the kind of stunt that huckster politicians pull off in order to hide money flow. Shame on Obama if he is guilty of influence peddling in order to engage in a housing transaction. He’ll be dang lucky to get a VP offer, much less a re-election to the Senate. SDs will be weighing just how dirty he is. This could be very embarassing to those Senators that jumped on board too early, i.e., Kennedy and Kerry.

If the US Media had done it’s job, then Obama’s background would have investigated long time ago. Instead they chose to hype up his candidacy for getting higher ratings. I have zero confidence in the US Media. Now I do my own research on the internet and only watch BBC or Jim Lehrer’s News Hour on PBS.

Well ,certainly I can see from this blog that most are made up of Clintonian ranting. Very emotional ,not very factual.

Rezko
Auchi (Iraqi billionaire who gave Rezko the $ for the Obama land deal, and wired him 3.5mil)
Khalidi (ties to PLO and served with Obama on board of the Woods Fund, which granted $ to The Arab American Action Network)
Exelor – who bought their way out of troublesome proposed legislation, execs top fundraisers, and his chief campaign strategist is also consultant to them. Company have him over $100K.
The UBS quasi-blind trust which wasn’t so blind.
Look this stuff up…it’ll make your head spin. Obama is not what he is selling. And there is a frightening trend.

Obama claims he will have Transparency in office, yet he seems to be winking when he says it. Sometimes it’s to good to be true.

is amazing how obama supporters react to any comments or suggestions against their candidate, almost as he is beyond hollyness. Come on! we are trying to select one person to be the president of our great USA, not the next American idol! Snap out of it!

It’s obvious that people are just looking for stuff on Obama, as they do with all presidential candidates. But this is not a scandal for him nor is he the supreme ethical person his supporters make him out to be. No one is perfect and I’m sure Obama has plenty of bones in his closet, just like the rest of us. Obama could not win that new TV show “Moment of Truth”, but then again no one could without damaging themselves.

The Obamanuts have truly gone nuts!! Do they actually think that they can elect Obama to become President when he has not been vetted or does not have the experience? All these nuts can do when Obama is questioned is to throw allegations back at the Clintons which have been debunked after $70 million investigation by Ken Starr. And what do they don’t like about the most succesfull presidency of our times? Low unemployment, budget surpluses, declining poverty level, excellent standing around the world, 64% approval rating? Are they so blinded by their dreamboy that they are drinking the Republican cool-aid? Hillary herself has made tireless contributions to the democratic party for her lifetime starting with the McGovern campaign. She has been a very successful Senator for 7 years where she has not been afarid of taking leadership positions on issues in a partisan when appropriate and bipartisan when that is appropriate. As for the war vote, Obama did not have to make the difficult choice but after he came to the Senate their records have been identical.

Google Rezko and Clinton. Her and Bill have had a relationship with Rezko also. He has also contributed to Hillary’s campaign. Obama at least gave the money Rezko contributed to him to charity. While Hillary has kept hers.

You don’t befriend a person for 20 years that made you what an who you are without being tainted by that person.
Obama supporters must think that the rest of us are fools. Eventually, the truth will come out. I hope it is not the Republicans that have to flush the truth out in the fall if Obama were to be the nominee.
Also, if it is Hillary’s pastor that denounced American as the evil empire, you know the media will play that 24 hours daily.
Obama does not stand a chance against the Republicans in the fall. There is just too much mess hanging over his head. I hope Democrats will not fall into this trap.

You know they say if you throw a rock, the one that gets hit cries the loudest. Obama is this type of person. He makes sure he out talks anyone who does not agree with his false politics. He is dirty and I agree with another writer that Oprah is in up to her neck with Rezko, maybe we should find out how he influenced her purchase of the school in Africa, and if she can help get Obama elected, he can calm the waters with Rezko and keep her name out of it. She used her influence with the public that trusted her to back Obama and knew he was associated with Rezko. Look out, Michele’s claws should start showing soon, you can see her posture is under tight control and I am sure her husband told her until he is elected, make sure it stays there because I think she can be a lion with sharp claws if not controlled. They are both dirty. He can out talk Hiliary. Shame on the people who did not recend their vote when Obama lied about his business association with Mr. Rezko. He knew it was more than 5 minutes of business association with that corrupt business man and when he knew the truth was going to be told recanted his statement and made it sound as though he had forgotten the other times he associated with him. Obama, it’s called 20 years. Buying a house for you and then making sure your wife salary go up is not just a casual relationship..shame, shame. Also, my husband and I bought a house and both of our names were on the deed. I think Barack wanted to hide this purchase in case the media found out. Look out Michele, he may start making you look like the corrupt person and he did not know anything about the transactions between you and Mr. Rezko. Obama is quick to point out Hiliary’s vote on the Iraq war but claims that his one vote for the health board could not influence a decision. What make Hiliary’s one vote influence the decision on Iraq any different. It took all the senators who belived that there were weapons of mass destruction to approve the war. By the way, how did he vote? If he voted present, then he voted for the approval also because he did not take a stand for or against the war. The media needs to stop walking on egg shells around this man because he is black. He is about as black as Tiger Woods. Hiliary don’t forgive John Lewis for deserting you and backing Obama.

Ergo, stuff like this doesnt matter. It only matters when Clinton is involved.
Obama has no past, therefore you cant critique him.
We should nominate Scarlett Johannson for president. She is a total babe and is FAR more electable than Obama can ever hope to be.

Ross,
Good start. Now keep on digging.
Obama’s prevaricating about Rezko doesn’t pass the smell test. How about more on the FBI agent that reportedly testified to seeing Obama and the Governor visit Rezko repeatedly?
Money from Rezko, Exelon, .. the Carlyle Group.
Better it comes out now instead of after the nomination, or worst yet the coronation.

Mark these words: This Rezko thing has legs. And woe to the Democrats if it comes out AFTER Obama has been nominated.

For the umpteenth time—
Rezko details investigated = Obama cleared of any wrongdoing.
Is that really news?

No wonder Obama skips over issues, if he spoke, then a lot of issues would come out. The health board appointments, his wifes salary, but most of all his connection with his pastor that uses Gods name in vain and hates america and Obama supports him. dig a little deeper and you will strike oil and a lot of hate.

Then there is his bone-headed, no doubt, association with his racist pastor for 20 years. The racist pastor is a member of his campaign hierarchy. I demand that you apologise for the racial and anti-American remarks of you pastor to me. I have been slurred by your pastor.

This is what makes my hair turn gray. For a low life crook like Rezko, there are always something there he saw in Obama that he could for benefits. Rezko is not the type to have friendship without the benefits and calculations.
I know there are more to unfold that I never could imagine. Obama has finally come down to Earth, just so oh sinful.

Between Obama’s Corupt Friends and his hatefull Pastor I will never vote for him

There are daily reports in the Chicago newspapers on the evidence being introduced. I personally am watching close. If there is evidence that links to Obama related to wrongdoing, criminal activity, or unethical practices and he becomes the Dem nominee because the SDs give it to him… McCain will be the next President.

The only reason the Clintons weren’t prosecuted over White water is that Janet Reno who was a friend of the Clintons and appointed by Billy as the Attorney General wouldn’t let it go forward.Get your facts right

It is time the press started peeling back the layers of the Obama onion and let the voters have all the info necessary to make an informed decision.

There is an obvious BIAS from ABCNews in favor of the evil Clintoons and against Obama! There’s just too much evidence as to their bias. Could it be because Georgie Stephanopolous is now an employee of ABCNews and had been one of the Clintoons’ henchmen before?? hhhmmmmm….something smells fishy here!!

Saint Obama again? Sorry, but the American people are truly naive if they do not think for one minute that all politicians have a skeleton in the closet…that’s why it is called “politics”. This Saint Obama thing is really getting old. Whether you like McCain or Clinton, it really doesn’t matter, but at least you know what yo are getting with them. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop on Obama – stay tuned.

If barack hussein obama had not been completely overlooked by the national media the american public would have known the real truth behind this wolf in sheep’s clothing long ago. Any other person with such anti-american ties would have never made it this far.

MR ROSS!!! and ABC iNVESTIGATIVE sTAFF!!! yOU ARE DOING GREAT! yOU ARE THE REAL AMERICANS WITH OUR GIS IN IRAQ
FOR PIERCING THE VEIL OF REZKO AND OBAMA PARTNERSHIPS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

WOW,,, PASTOR..MEMBER OF THIS SO CALLED CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS.
AND NOW Rezko COURT APPERANCE….I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.
AT LEAST WE KNOW ABOUT THE CLINTONS…BUT THIS MAN SCARES ME.
NO OBAMA.

Now.. there is a connection now between Obama’s wife getting a higher salary for working in the University of Chicago Hsopitals.. thanks.. my husband… so ethical standard is Obama is preaching.. tell it to the Matines..

the audacity. it just keeps leaking…slowly…but surely.
What’s next?
geez, i thought he was different.
he’s not.
concede the point and let’s debate the issues and choose the best candidate!!!!!!!!

you receive 1/4 million dollars from Rezko and don’t do favors, you go to a church for 20 years and don’t hear what your preacher is saying, we don’t need another liar in the white house.

Strange how a man who holds “good judgement” as his trump card associates with so many questionable people.

The American people will make the final judgement on this. We are smart people. No amount of blogging is going to change the truth. We are judged by the company we keep.

Karl: you wrote “It amazes me that Ken Star investigated these allegations against HRC and found nothing but people still want to believe that she is quilty. People really are afraid of strong powerful woman.”
Best I remember, when HRC was sworn in to testify, she responded 56 time with “I don’t remember” I can’t recall” or I’m not sure”. she hid the Rose law firms records for several years and her primary experience was trashing Bill’s lovers. At some date in the future the democratic party will come to the conclusion that you need something other that a feel good person to run for office.

It is obvious that abc is pulling for hillary, but obama is a very cunning, deceptive smoothie just like billy was. You liberals are all so holier than thou when you are slamming GW, and yet your candidates are the most dirty ppl ever in the game. Bush was no more of a bad person than anyone who ran against him. In fact, the dnc started to simply assassinate his character 24/7 as soon as they thought that he may win the 2k election so they would win the next time. They even tried to steal the election, and when they were getting caught, they accused Bush of it! [Isn't it ironic that Mayor Daly was sent to Florida to count votes? His father; mayor of Chicago as well, had counted thousands of dead ppl to secure the win for JFK! Check the FACTS ppl!] The great majority of their attacks have been utter lies and distortions, but HEY!- it’s been working quite well. All of the sheep-minded in this country now believe that he is a dunce. He united Texas, working w/ democrats. But when he reached out his hand in Washington, the dems SPIT in it! The clinton dung-pile lied as to how they had a balanced budget. They didn’t! The monies in the defense budget, medicare and medicaid are NOT recorded; never shown to our eyes anyway. The liars fudged the numbers to make it look good. And they decimated the military to have HUGE money show up in their ‘balancing act’. I’m not all for Bush. I don’t trust ANY politician to do what we want them to. But I think that he means to do us right. And I am a staunch conservative. Yep, I’m SO much happier that we’ve had him for 8 years compared to the idiots that you presented us with. Anyway, you’ve got two VERY crooked ppl as your ‘runners’ this time. I was all for Romney, but the rnc wants McCain for some odd reason. I have to vote him in so that these liberal whack-jobs don’t destroy our country.

I can’t wait until you all find out who else was on the board. Can’t say right now. Oh this is not only juicy but fatal. This is the CHANGE we’ve been waiting for. This is an endless mindblower.
Oh and where are Barko’s 2007 tax returns? What about his 2006 tax returns? He only provided the first page.
And wait until you find out his true agenda. White men will leave him in droves.
Barko owes so many people favors that the white house will look like a circus if he ever gets in, but I doubt that will ever happen.
I wonder if the pastor is just retired from the church to work for Barko and is still on the campaign incogneto. I also suspect he is promised a role in the whitehouse.
So picture this: White House staff of Barko’s=Wright, Dodd, Daschel, Drunken Kennedy, Pelosi, Dean, Nation of Islam staff, New Black Panthers, Farrakan, Gov of Illinois, Oprah, Caroline Kennedy, Maria Shriver, a sprinkling of various Republicans and —-fill in the blank.
It’s all out there in pieces. I wanted to list them all at once. There is more but this is all for now.
At this point they are neck and neck and I expect a landslide in the coming states for Hillary.
This is not a popularity contest. It’s about competency. It’s about our country on the brink.
So it all boils down to who has the ability to lead America up from shambles on day 1 and help us mend.
Why hope for CHANGE? Vote for it. Hillary 2008.

politics and politicians,they will never tell u d truth,they will kill each other,taint names and even use human being for sacrifices if it would make them win elections…

Hi all,
all politicians have to face the reality is that they need money, influence and support from all kinds of people to get to the position (which might mean taking help from this rotten eggs sometimes – you need to trade with rotten eggs because they have money and power), where they can make an impact.
But there are those politicians who don’t intend to make a change, just to be in power.
But there are people who though make some compromises but keep on the path.
We need to accept politicians in face of this reality, but we also should have a capacity to identify which one is inherently honest and are likely to bring in much needed change.
Lets try to do that, it will be useful.

I read that Obama went with 8 board members to the health care faciluty about adding a pavilion .Now Michele was the director of treehouse foodswhich is owned by walmart but quit when her hubby made those statements to Hillary during one of the debates.Does
Rezko have anything to do with this food service?

What about Rezko’s ties to Karl Rove? Karl Rove tried to have Fitzgerald, the prosecutor, pulled off a case at the urging of Tony Rezko. Why isn’t Rove being dragged into this? Why the favortism toward the Bush White House?

Everyone… Please
I’ve read all of your comments. Some right and some very wrong.
I read where the FBI investigated and still found nothing implicating Obama.
First and foremost, please remember, the FBI really has little to do with Obama’s investiagion and Rezko’s as well. We’re talking Department of Justice and Homeland Security. The media, you and I have no idea what they know. And, rightfully, we shouldn’t at this time.
But, common logic says, “money crossed the water,” and “going to and from what country?”
I’m no comspiracy theorist, but I see a waking giant. And, we should begin thinking hard about Senator Obama and his judgments.

Nia: I believe Obama knows all about Rezko’s wheeling and dealing and the courts appear to be afraid of a scandal because he is campaigning for the presidency. Obama is no saint when it comes to being crooked. He probably did a lot of favors for Rezko that’s why Rezko bought him his house. And his closes ties to Ayers that bombed this country three times. What true American would be friends with a person that hates-america? Obama!!

Hillary has 30 years of service, Obama is a neubie, and he still hasn’t got a clean closet? He is a hypocrite of worst sort! Not a man to take charge in the middle of a war when thousands of soliders are risking their lives and dies every day.
What is unbelievable is the horrible job US media done covering this campaign. Excerps from the lifestory from the Obama book and superficial critizism of the man’s middle name just doesn’t cut it. (Note: Hussein is not a negative!)
Nobody wrote on how the Dems oldguard was running Obama like a puppet, doing their bit to hide the fact Hillary is winning votes. Every day they drip Superdelegates to rain on her fantastic achievement.

Are you posters being paid to trash Obama or are you doing it because you think it will help your candidate (McCain)?
Here’s the tell: No one is bringing up anything about Whitewater except supposed “Clinton supporters” who say that others are bringing it up. Most Obama supporters were on the front lines defending the Clintons against the unfair prosecution and silly impeachment.
And how come no one mentions all the money Rezko raised for G. W. Bush? He actually contributed to the Clintons as well. This guy is just trying to buy influence by throwing money out there and see if he can get some pay back. He did not buy Obama’s house. He only seems to have gotten a photo from the Clintons. Did he get stuff from W? Is anybody checking on that? I didn’t think so.
As for Hillary Clinton, she brought up Rezko in a debate. I did not hear Obama or his campaign say a word about Whitewater or Lewinsky or any of the nightmare pseudo-scandals of the Clinton years. He has too much class.
