McCain Ad Rips Obama on Rezko

Rezko is a dead issue. That’s like talking about the Keating 5. Voters don’t care.
Magoo is a gaffe machine.

McSame. McSame. Panama John. McSame. Polly Wants a Cracker! McSame. Senile, senile, senile, senile. McSame. McSame. Polly Wants a Cracker! Polly Wants a Cracker! McSame. McSame. McSame. McSame. McSame. Bottom of his class! Bottom of his class! Keating, Keating. McSame. Senile, senile, senile. Old man. Confused. Old man. Confused. McSame. McSame. McSame. Polly Wants a Cracker. Senile old man. McSame. Really shows his age! Really shows his age. Old. Old. Senile. Senile. Polly Wants a Cracker! SQUAWK! Old. McSame. Senile.

About time.

The Rezko story will haunt Obama now that he opened the door for McCain to attack him using this. Remember Rezko is to be sentenced early September. McCain can also add in Rezko’s defunct public housing projects (with public tax money that Obama gave him) — 11 of them are in Obama’s district. Obama has a much bigger housing problem than McCain.

Of course Rezco is a “dead issue” for the left. There more interested in how many houses McCain & wife own rather than million dollar deals made through convicted felons.

we do care. just like you guys care about mccains age, his wife, his military service etc…obama started this with his questionable associations recent ad connecting mccain with abrams. and we want to know more about ayers as well.
yes we do want to know.

If John McCain hadn’t cheated on his first wife Carol with the rich princess/heiress Cindy, he wouldn’t have any of those seven homes!
Guess it pays to commit adultery with the daughter of a rich businessman. Way to go, John. You made your father proud.

LOL! Barry “above my paygrade” Soetoro/Oblhama really put his foot in his mouth this time!
Can’t wait to see the McCain ad!
We don’t care *how many houses* the McCains have….we want *straight answers* Barry! Like the ones that are “above your pay grade” answers.
Is it *silly season* Barry?????
PUMA!

“Criminal friends”…I guess we need to re-open the investigation of Cindy McCain stealing medicinal drugs from her charity foundation to feed her drug addiction. Now that is a conviction waiting to happen!

If John McCain hadn’t cheated on his first wife Carol with the rich princess/heiress Cindy, he wouldn’t have any of those seven homes!

Okay…sooo has anyone seen Michelle “I hate America” OblhamaSoetoro lately?????
Is she still under the bus where OblahmaSoetoro left her?????

Obama DID NOT purchase the home from Rezko. Rezko NEVER owned the home that Obama purchased.

It does not help you to lie for your Political Jesus, or you deny to admit what you know of being the truth.
Just to refresh you memory that is not sufficient for your tiny brain: Rezko and wife helped 0-bama to purchase his Mansion because otherwise 0-bama has not yet deceived enough money from his books from you to be able to purchase it alone. Then, 0-bama purchased the land that Rezko bought, in helping him buying the house without being caught of bribery, at below market value.
All these were done at a time when Rezko was known being indicted criminally, which has since been convicted and will be sentenced on September 4.
It’s a perfect blend of criminals, money, land deals, deception, and kick backs. If you ask why would Rezko help his buddy, the “honorable” freshman Senator from Illinois, you can count how many housing projects Rezko has obtained from the legislations that 0-bama has helped to bring back to “his” district.

This is what Wikipedia says about McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal. The scandal that caused the savings and loan crisis in the late 1980′s. The crisis that caused thousands of innocent American’s to loose their life savings. (Even if McCain wasn’t guilty it certainly gives reasons to question his judgement.)
QUOTE: “McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.[8] Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in lawful[14] political contributions from Keating and his associates.[15] In addition, McCain’s wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating’s expense, sometimes aboard Keating’s jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating’s opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[6][16]”
Even though he wasn’t found guilty of anything, it sure does seem like McCain was in bed with this guy. As they say, where there is smoke, there usually is fire.

“Obama Engaged In Deal With Convicted Felon To Get Deal On House That Had Four Fireplaces And A Wine Cellar:
Obama Paid $300,000 Less Than The Asking Price For His Mansion, While Tony Rezko’s Wife Paid Full Price For A Vacant Lot Next Door On The Very Same Day. “Two years ago, Obama bought a mansion on the South Side, in the Kenwood neighborhood, from a doctor. On the same day, [Antoin 'Tony'] Rezko’s wife, Rita Rezko, bought the vacant lot next door from the same seller. The doctor had listed the properties for sale together. He sold the house to Obama for $300,000 below the asking price. The doctor got his asking price on the lot from Rezko’s wife.” (Tim Novak, “Obama And His Rezko Ties,” Chicago Sun-Times, 4/23/07)
The Seller Of Obama’s Home “Wanted To Sell Both Properties At The Same Time.” “On the same day Obama closed on his house, Rezko’s wife bought the adjacent empty lot, meeting the condition of the seller who wanted to sell both properties at the same time.” (Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz, “The Rezko Connection,” ABC News’ “The Blotter” Blog, abcnews.go.com, 1/10/08)
Obama Later Purchased A Portion Of Rezko’s Land For $104,500; It Was Valued At $40,500. “Later, the Obamas bought a 10-foot-by-150-foot piece of the lot for $104,500. An appraisal put the value of the strip at $40,500, a spokesman said, but Obama considered it fair to pay one-sixth of the original price for one-sixth of the lot.” (Peter Slevin, “Obama Says He Regrets Land Deal With Fundraiser,” The Washington Post, 12/17/06)
Rezko Was Convicted Of Wire And Mail Fraud, Money Laundering, And Aiding And Abetting Bribery. “A federal jury today convicted developer Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko of corruption charges for trading on his clout as a top adviser and fundraiser to Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Rezko’s guilty verdict on 16 of 24 corruption counts could have broad repercussions for Blagojevich, who made Rezko a central player in his kitchen cabinet. It could also prove a political liability for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, who once counted Rezko as a friend and fundraiser, as the likely Democratic presidential nominee heads into the general election campaign against Republican John McCain. … The jury convicted Rezko of wire and mail fraud, money laundering and aiding and abetting bribery. He was acquitted of attempted extortion.” (Bob Secter and Jeff Coen, “Rezko Convicted Of Corruption,” Chicago Tribune, 6/4/08)
NOTE: The 3 Story House Has Four Fireplaces And A Wine Cellar. “When Obama and his wife, Michelle, a hospital executive, decided to move with their two young girls from their Hyde Park condominium, they chose a spacious three-story Georgian revival home on a tree-lined street in the Kenwood neighborhood, not far from the University of Chicago. The owner had listed the house — nearly 100 years old, with four fireplaces and a wine cellar — and an adjacent lot as separate parcels.” (Peter Slevin, “Obama Says He Regrets Land Deal With Fundraiser,” The Washington Post, 12/17/06)”

Ooooo…McCantrememberhowmanyhomes is backed into the corner so he recycles the old manufactured smear. The Tribune and Sun-Times cleared Obama of any wrongdoing several months ago. Weak.

“The Tribune and Sun-Times cleared Obama of any wrongdoing several months ago.”
Swell. Maybe they’ll clear Rezko too. Oops, too late. Now tell me what difference it makes how many houses McCain’s wife owns.

“Are any of BHO’s associations actually hard working Americans who love this country?”
Nah. He wouldn’t associate with typical Americans that cling to their bibles and guns.

James, I’m sure that you applied that same logic to John Kerry, right?

Amy wrote: “No matter how sound his policies he tout to be, I just don’t feel he deserves Americans giving him the president job. He didn’t earn it!!!”
Right on Amy…He didn’t EARN his Senate seat either. As for his policies,…you never know with that man. One day he is AGAINST FISA the next he is FOR IT!
I think THAT is what he meant by needing to be BI-lingual! lol!
PUMA

Obama just opened the door to his crooked Tony Rezko dealing & his house.
BIG ERROR BY THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN

Speaking of houses: To whoever votes for McCain I say, if you lose your house in a foreclosure, I will not feel sorry for you, because you voted, again, for a Republican who is determined to continue the free fall of the dollar, bankrupt the nation with its interminable wars, and continue to strip America of manufacturing jobs.

AGAIN; Obama feels NO BODY will challenge him and his past! Because; the media has given him a pass!
IT IS LUDACRIS! From Rezko; 20 years of studying Black Liberation Theology; VOTING FOR FISA; Voting for 2005 Cheney Energy Bill;———–AND no one examines him!

More lies from McCain. Rezko never helped Obama buy a house, and Obama never gave Rezko “political favors”. Show some proof or shut up.

Obama opened the Flood Gate on this one. He should have kept his mouth shut.

What more ethical standards for a legislature to exemply to the public than purchasing his home ( though not revealed from Rezko but of course the conclusion could have been from him from their long friendship of give and take favors) and adjacent lot from Rezko’s wife. What more should every American voter think about choosing a presidential candidate who has the record and the propensity to use the publci office to gain financial gain. What more should every citizen of this country would conclude on how Obama’s ethics are standing to the time honored priciple of self integrity and honor. Pray tell, this country should have a review course on what is a good moral character.

You guys, ABC, are lower than McCain’s copy writers, you let this go unchallenged:
“If you want to talk about a housing problem,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers tells ABC News, “Sen. Obama certainly has one when he bought his million dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon.”
I don’t think any of you have the capacity to recognize a news story anymore. ABC = Any Baloney Covered or All Bull**** Content. I don’t think you are even a news story anymore. You’re just reality TV, lost without a back story.

most of these issues are dead, unimportant issues…..are these canidates avoiding the real issues out of fear……why are we putting missils in poland…..can either of them comment…..

Barack Obama is a total idiot.
How dumb can someone get by giving McCain a chance to bring up his own past connections:
Rev Jeremiah Wright
Rev Mike Pfleger
Rev Otis Moss
Terrorist & Cop killer William Ayers
Terrorist Bernardine Dohrn
Felon Tony Rezko

Let’s ask Obama how many sleezy friends he has and are we allowed to question him about them? (Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Klonsky,James A Johnson)

Anyone is better than Obama because everything is above his pay grade to deal with.

“Nah. He wouldn’t associate with typical Americans that cling to their bibles and guns.” If those are “typical Americans”, i dont blame him. I think it’s time to move to Canada, provide John Mccain doesnt invade it

Rezko is of less relevance than John McCain’s suppressed war record including his vietcong collaboration broadcast when he referred to America as bring a criminal nation!

alright if the rezko story is old news then dont worry about it. are you really worried about it?

Can’t afford Obama’s taxes to spread the wealth and move towards socialism. Can’t afford Obama’s questionable alligence to THIS country. Can’t afford Obama’s anti-American associations.
McCain headquarters in Denver received a suspicious white powder in the mail today…cops and investigators all over the place….25 employees sent home.
WHO would do that? A crazy Obot.
Also, why don’t our late night comics ever take aim at Obama? Apparently Hillary and McCain are triple the jokes. White Liberal Guilt….geeze.

Those of you saying it’s a dead issue are obviously Obama supporters.
It is NOT a dead issue for those of us who are undecided or leaning somewhat towards McCain – but could still go either way.
I have to also say that Obama supporters have been a major turnoff even when I was ready and willing (nay, HOPING) to be convinced.

Johnny’s gotten himself in some deep doo-doo here. And I know for sure because my 74 year old Christian, Republican mother was very put off by this remark today. She had “no idea” how wealthy McCain is. Yeah!!! Score one for the good guys.

Two cities, white powder, threats to McCain offices…wow Obama maniacs are fanatics and not to be messed with.
When he loses in November there better not be this kind of behavior. Really poor reflection on his cult followers.

Heh…does McCain really want to raise the issue of associating with convicted felons? Oh my, his list is very, very long…

This is very damaging to McCain
By his own admission, he doesn’t know much about the economy.
He thinks the economy is in good shape.
He thinks you need $5 million dollars in order to be regarded as rich.
He doesn’t know how many houses he own.
His economic adviser thinks Americans are whining, that economic recession is in their minds.
He will need a miracle to extricate himself from the “out of touch” tag.

“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?

There are no private beaches in Hawaii. The Mccain team lied.

How can anyone vote for Obama? He is a sleeper

About the deal:
1. Obama was “helped” by REzco because the seller would only sell the adjacent land and house together, so Obama bought the house and the Rezco’s bought the land
2. Obama made two lower bids on the house which was on the market for 1.6 million. He eventually got it for 300,000 less than the asking price.
3. When he bought the adjacent land later from REzcos, he paid 1/6 the price Rezco paid for the land for 1/6 of the land.
How is this a problem, other than Rezco fooled everyone and is a crook?
OK, it’s a problem only if people don’t take the time to consider what actually happened. I’m not confident at all Americans can do that, but hope is always there.

yeah keep your change!!

A vote for Obama is a vote for the Anti-Christ.
He can’t even win a debate against Mc Cain with out calling foul or spouting prejudice.

It is unbelievable that the Obama campaign brought up a “home ownership” issue given the really horrible appearing assistance Rezko gave when Obama bought his house. This shows a campaign in complete disarray! It made the whole Rezko issue fair game! What is the Obama “team” thinking?

The only person with a Housing Problem is Obama. There are over 10 abandoned housing Rezko projects in Obama’s district. Can anyone say the word CORRUPTION?

Just a reminder to everyone reading these posts, or contributing; the undecided voters are waiting until the last minute… (They’re not reading your posts or mine).
You can go back and forth with stupid little political accusations to validate your own political point of view, but in the end it amounts to big pile of $#it that people complain about every four years.
I support Obama, not for the idealistic speeches he gets way too much press over, or the whole celebrity persona that he has rightfully been attached with. I could honestly care less about any Rezko info, or how many houses Cindy McCain owns. It doesn’t affect me. I don’t care about flag pins on anyone’s lapel, or if someone has been accused of being unpatriotic. If you run for President, that’s good enough for me. I don’t care if a candidate confused a story from the past, or is accused of being a drug using, Atheist, Communist, super-secret Muslim. It may pass for news, but it ranks right below info-mercials on my TV schedule.
Quoting the ever-incredible William Shatner, Get a life people!

You say rezkook,ayer,etc.
I say IRAQ, RECESSION, GLOBAL AGRESSION.
put it in perspective

It’s funny how the GOP posters think it was Obama that *opened a door*.
Nope… Obama did nothing wrong, or illegal, in buying his house. So, as usual McCain/the GOP is lying, and the sheep are buying.
But, there’s the Keating 5 issue… there’s the McCain’s not paying taxes on a California Property… there’s a lot of *goodies* on McCain’s plate.
If he was smart, he would’ve debated real issues, and let the people decide.
Instead, he’s chosen to go to bed with those that slimed him, in 2000.
The same people that slimed his child & his wife. What a weak-kneed shell of a man… and yes, I know he was shot down, like thousands of others. I’m not a jet pilot, but I could get shot down too.
I am a Vet, though, and have been played by the GOP/McCains, for too long.
I don’t know what I was thinking, but I wish other Vets would open their eyes, before voting GOP. They’re being played as suckers. Who opposed the New GI Bill. John McCain.

It is unbelievable that the Obama campaign brought up a “home ownership” issue given the really horrible appearing assistance Rezko gave when Obama bought his house. This shows a campaign in complete disarray! It made the whole Rezko issue fair game! What is the Obama “team” thinking?

Im hoping with you mane. And to think I was a (tricked) republican for so long. I love the internet and its investigating ability!

Most Americans don’t want to criminalize abortion as McCain says that he does. Only the right wingers who want to manage the reproductive lives of women do.

So McCain will counter his confusion about how many houses he owns with futile attempts to link Obama to Rezko. Attempts already disproved in Rezko’s own recent trial.
Then Obama will counter with the much more serious linkage of Mr. Keating (McCain’s principal campaign contributor) to McCain – and how Keating went to prison for influencing McCain’s decisions, while McCain got a great big slap on the wrist from his colleagues in the Senate, for doing favors year after year after year for Mr. Keating.
That’s fine with me. Everyone needs to know about McCain’s well-documented and proven felonies.

If Rezko is *old news*…what does that make you idiots bringing up *Keating five*???

This kind of comment is the reason why Barry Soetoro/Oblahma will NOT get my vote!!

There are many rich Americans in America. Is that a problem with Comrade Obama now? His fundamental change will mean what? Everyone, all of us will be poor?

——–
Everyone, all of us will be poor?
——–
No Jack!
It is countering a growing ARISTOCRATIC tendency in our American system. These plans help equalize what is a system that grossly favors the EXTREMELY wealthy. How many of us have accountants that can get us out of tax burdens? – look at the irs’ own releases . Giant corporations often pay less in tax than the worker counterparts. I dont mind my taxes going to help the single mother trying to get by, or the homeless vet, or the teacher that cant make their mortgage. I dont want my tax dollars going to float corporate bailouts, or subsidies, etc. The imbalance is disgusting, and growing.

jack, you gotta love this part

Obama’s campaign is in such dissaray.
Why would you bring up a stupid housing issue when you know Tony Rezko will be sentence in federal court in a few weeks. This is just plain stupidity.
Next thing you know, the Obama campaign will drag Rev Wright & Rev Pfleger back.
No wonder the obama campaign is in a death spiral.

Attacking sombody for owning seven houses is totaly ridiculous. We live in America.

I’d like to add that any voters thinkking of voting for John McCain
Google:
“POW/MIA The McCain Factor.”
I suggest that they view all of the videos, especially the video titled:
“1992 Senate Select Committee on POW’MIAs: The McCain Factor.”
Notice that these are not Liberal Democrats saying what they are saying
about McCain, but rather very Conservative Republicans.
Then decide if you want John McCain to be the next and last president of
the United States. Yes, last president.

…uh francis, its not a problem of him having 7 houses, it’s more that Mr. Straigh Talker doesnt even know how many houses he owns – had to “check with his staff”. You are ok with that eh?
Do YOU know how many houses you own?

No way I will vote for “UN-AMERICAN” elitist Obama & his first time proud of America wife.
What a disgrace.

Tony Rezko, his family, and his associates have spent years pouring thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into Barack Obama’s climb from the Illinois legislature to Capitol Hill and helped him raise tens of thousands more.
Everyone know that…
Now, since the great Obama has decided to bring the personal homes of John and Cindy McCain into the political spectrum of consideration, he needs to explain his and Michelle’s home and the Rezko connection to voters once a day from now until November 4.
Obama could start by explaining how Rezko got tangled in the purchase of the Obama family home.
Then, Obama could continue by explaining his other ties to Rezko, some of them going back more than 15 years.
Because of the findings of federal prosecutors, the Obama campaign has already had to return unwittingly accepted money generated by Rezko’s illegal activities.
And, the Obamabots want the Rezko questions to go away?
Yeah, right…

John McCain is bad for America. His has a low IQ and he is out of touch with reality, partly due to age.
The other day, he couldn’t define what it means to be rich, and most of his responses to serious questions were his one line campaign rhetoric. He’s been in Washington too long to make any difference even if he wanted to. After 8 years of GW making the US a laughing stock, It will be a sad day the day
America elects John McCain

Way to go, President John McCain! Stick it to ‘em!
McCain 08!

Jimmy1LegRobibson…You ought to do something about that cough…Here this may help..Fact: The Keating Five involved 4 Dems and 1 Republican..Those that were cleared of any wrong doing were John Glenn (D) and John McCain (R) by the Senate Ethics Committee…People look up the facts of any accusations..most people will try to spin it to favor their candidate.

Some of my very outspoken liberal friends who hate Bush with a passion,and are usually nonstop talk in support for the democrat nominee(Kerry, Gore, Clinton), they never bring up Obama! Last time I heard watercooler chat was when Rev Wright was making his world press tour. I don’t bring up politics, because they are hard core, don’t like my candidate, I don’t like you, but no Obama defending! Makes me wonder?

“Obama couldn’t have bought that million home with Rezko’s help,”
Obama is a back-scratcher. Probably never did a hard day’s work.

CuriousIndep, none of those four Democrats are running for the presidency…the republican IS.

GlovesAreOff ,
Obama has never been tried in court. The FBI still have an ongoing investigation.
Would it surprise anyone if right before Denver, Obama gets federally indicted and Hillary gets the nomination?

Im sure that Paris Hilton knows how many homes she owns. One more thing she has up on John McCain.

McCain Aide Claims Letters a McCain Hoax

HEY, EVERYBODY!
Have you had any problems with access to affordable health care for you or your kids?
Are you better off than you were eight years ago?
Do you care about MOST OF US or just making sure that the top .8 percent of income earners pay NO TAXES via Queen Mary-sized loopholes for the wealthy and access to tax havens?
DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS?
Or are you looking for a way OUT of ACTUALLY STANDING UP FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY?
Are there shadows within that block your view of how THE ISSUES EFFECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?
ARE YOU WILLING TO VOTE WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS AT HEART?
Or are you afraid, divided from one another by the hate and fear mongers on the EXTREME RIGHT?
SIX MONTHS AGO, I MADE A PLEDGE TO MY BEST FRIEND.
I PROMISED TO TURN OFF FAR RIGHT (OR FAR LEFT – THOUGH THERE REALLY ISN”T ANY IN MY MARKET) RADIO . . .
AND EXAMINE THE ISSUE FOR MYSELF.
Having listened to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly for well over a decade, I SIMPLY HAD STOPPED QUESTIONING WHAT THEY SAID.
THEN, I read – right wing, left wing, centrist; Republican and Democratic, even Libertarian.
NOW . . .
I don’t care about THE HOMES, OR BRITNEY OR WHO’S WHITE/BLACK/OLD/YOUNG . . .
I care about:
=HEALTH CARE for my family
=THE ERODING INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR COUNTRY
=ENDING THE IRAQ WAR
=PRESERVING OUR FREEDOMS
=ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
I could go on . . .
You ARE A PATRIOT NO MATTER WHO YOU VOTE FOR . . .
BUT PLEASE – JUST THIS YEAR . . .
Turn off the tripe and READ and REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE ISSUES . . .

Shy doesn’t Obama rip McCain on his ties to crooked real estate developer Robert Diamond or on his ties to indicted Arizona congressman Renzi who was indicted for money laundering? What about McCain’s campaign staff being replete with tons of lobbyists?
Why doesn’t Obama get off his duff and attack McCain for all his corrupt ties? This is outrageous that McCain is getting the advantage on something like this where McCain is really vulnerable. Why isn’t the Keating 5 scandal ever brought up. McCain was only let off the hook because of the influence of Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush, not because he wasn’t guilty but because Republicans cover for their own.

Obama gave political favors to a convicted felon in exchange for a sweetheart real estate deal.
Yep, Obama is a new kind of politician who ‘won’t resort to the low road” during the campaign.
lol@liars&stupes

Incredible! Looking outside the two housing bashings. Can any Obama supporters explain to me why they would vote for someone who has said he is intrigued by dictators and wants to meet with dictators from around the world to gain insight on their practices despite a UN ban? Or his constant voting recors and pro-choice voice saying he thinks that post birth abortions should be legalized? The fact that his campaign has thrown his minister and pre-election spiritual inspiration (though I really dont blame him, how can you possibly let your mentor for twenty years make people think you think like them when they are anit-american), his wife,and his “friends” who are facing felony charges under the bus. The fact that after a “legal” campaign contribution he flip flopped on his view on offshore drilling, which in turn caused Pelosi to have to flip-flop. McCain has his flaws, but comparing him to Bush is absolutely ridiculous, he won the Republican vote because he was nothing like Bush. And all those crying at the economy, o the economy look at pre-pelosi, post-pelosi, thats what I thought. Now Obama’s campaing has resorted to sending powder in an envelope?! And about throwing people under the bus what about the Muslim school which he attended for grade school?! Not to mention Obamas comments regarding his aunt who, “Is a typical white American, racists and feels everyone else is inferior…” Just wondering… if he’s surrounded by and influenced by anti-american, anti-white, pro-post-birth abortions, criminals, and will flip-flop on things he feels strongly about for money, then are you? Or do you just ignore Wright, Michelle, His schooling, his voting record, and his constant flip-flopping simultaneous to a spike in his contributions. Just give some insight on how your might contorts him to be a better canidate, if its anti-republican views, then re-check McCains voting record, and research economic fluctuations following the last house race. Vote for whats best, not out of spite.

Glovesareoff…What part of CLEARED OF ANY WRONG DOING….don’t you understand??? If anything the fact that McCain IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT makes this statement very important…I am beginning to read panic in Obama’s supporters statements..stop grasping at straws (that’s Obama’s m.o.) and creating things that clearly do not exist..Again undecided voters look to the facts and not spin being created by BOTH campaigns on these web sites….

Rezko,Ayres,Wright will all be major players as the Republicans begin to tear down Obama. They will reveal it all. MSM never vetted Obama. He will now be vetted by Karl Rove and the Republicans.
Soon the Democrats will be screaming Hillary Where Are You?

Senior Citizen McCain has forgotten about his affairs, his admitting to falsifying tax returns (gifts from Keating). Wait until people find out his idea of health care will eliminate employer provided health care, with pre-existing conditions limitations. He also wants to privatize Social Security just like…ummm…who was that – oh yeah BUSH!

It was a package deal whereby Mrs. Rezko bought the yard and the Obamas bought the house – a 100-year-old mansion.
Mrs. Rezko apparently paid over market value.
Obamas paid a sum $300,000.00, less than asking price.
Why would the Obamas, two (2) Harvard educated lawyers, need the help of a fund raiser & campaign contributor to purchase a home?
What lawyers with good judgment would want to own a mansion without its yard?
Much less have the yard owned by a campaign contributor and fund raiser who is now a convicted felon?

Exposing hypocrisy with humor is invariably effective. People get it.
McCain’s Team is a political cartoonist’s dream. The McCain ad featuring the Chicago Machine and Tony Rezko pales before prospective Obama ads featuring Jeb Bush (Tenet Healthcare Board Member), Newt Gingrich (Center for Health Transformation — a cover group for promoting Big Pharma and other healthcare special interests), Rudy Giuliani (Giuliani partners wrote an absurd report on the ills of allowing RX drug importation from Canada on behalf of his drug industry clients and represented Perdue Pharmaceuticals in the Oxycontin debacle), and Phil Gramm (the Senate architect of deregulation of the financial services industry, which led to the most recent disaster on Wall Street).
This isn’t the pot calling the kettle black. This is the difference between painting Obama with guilt by association and McCain’s cronies, whose greed leads them to promoting clients and defending products, which imperil millions of Americans.
