Obama Was Interested in Senate Successor After All

Just keep stiring the pot and trying to make it sound like Obama did something wrong. Good work ABC. Where were you when the current President was taking us to war? Where was your curiosity then? I guess investigative journalism can only exsist during Democratic administrations.
Rake the muck ABC.

Are we surprised? Obama is a Chicago Machine Cog and his initial denials about “its the Governor’s decision” is now shown to be false – just like his initial stance on Wright, Trinity, Ayers and others.
His persistent deceit, however, is a good thing – he was probably the only one capable of selling socialism to center-right America – now, I am going to make out like a bandit since money from greedy rich people will be transferred to me and my friends. (I can stay a “permanent student” forever)

Forget all this lawyerly prevaricting. He was interested, he pushed his favorites and then said he didn’t. In short, he essentially lied.
————————————-
Clintonian and now Obamanian Speak:
It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.

Are we surprised that people like “Suzy sucks*****” find fault where none exists
——————————
I take exception to that comment in two ways:
a) We all know Obama is a slick politician who shades the truth and has radical affiliations/participations – how do you think he got ahead in Chicago. Read ObamaNation and you will understand this truth.
b) This deceipt and slickness are good traits – there is no other way of selling Socialism to center-right America. We need Obama now!

Why didn’t Obama just be truthful since there was no illegality here? I just wish pols could learn that the public prefers the “unvarnished truth”.

VIVI, when you have normalized lying you’ve forgotten what it is to tell the truth and when to tell it.
Don’t think for a moment that Blog wasn’t acting in normalcy about this situation.
His anger at BO was about BO not holding up his part of whatever bargain was made, why else would he have raged at BO. Questions not being asked by the press, but then, why would they, they’re too busy using his shirtless photo as soft porn of distraction.

Obama did not lie and he did not ever contact the governor himself. But if he had it would have been completely legal. It becomes a problem if anyone in Obama’s staff was willing to go along with Blagojevich with hanky panky and they did not. This has already been reported by Patrick Fitzgerald the Federal Prosecutor. Of course Obama is interested in who will take his senate seat. Read the article. As anyone should realize President Elect Obama has been very busy appointing his cabinet positions. He wants a qualified and serious person to fill his senate seat which is very understandable. He will have the most honest administration in years because he is an honest man.

Mr. Obama is a serial liar. He has said that no one contact Governor Blago.

i think Obama meant he, personally, did not discuss his open senate seat with Blagojevich or any of his (Blagojevich’s) aides. of course Obama spoke about with his own staff. and Emanuel spoke to Blogojevich once and an aide several times, NONE about quid pro quo. none of this is suprising, unusual or astounding. hardly anything to write home about.

young_voter—Obama has had no contact with blagojevich. if your associate speaks to someone is it fair for me to say you spoke to that someone. of course not.

CHEESE, we need CHEESE for all this whining about Obama. If you whiners would spend as much effort on cleaning your own house, helping your neighbor and praying for peace you might feel good about yourselves. Most of us aren’t over complaining about Bush, Cheney and whatshisname, so temper it please and let us continue to grumble about the past 8 years and work toward changing this country back to respectability.

Sara, you’re then equating sex with legal aged men and/or women, perverted?
Your sex life must be quite the party! Oiy!
What did he lie about? LOL! Apparently you don’t know the difference between telling a lie and telling the truth even when the words are right in front of you on this blog by the author, myself and other bloggers. How rich!
You probably think the Republicans held the house and senate the last 2 years, too, I’ll bet.

Greg, “perverted” not at all! it’s cool to be gay. Craig got busted for public solicitation—not so cool.

Paul, I find it interesting that you can’t focus on the person we’re talking about, but instead, attempt to distract by pointing to someone else’s behavior.
It’s not porn to the extent of the what the person viewing it is doing with it.
Now, why else would all this hoopla be going on about his shirtless pic, unless….what?
Gimme a break. You know damn well that the picture was posted to incite swooning by his idiot supporters, mostly women, to keep the charade alive.

Greg: Please stop attacking Elaine for her compassion about what she considers far more important issues. You have yours, allow her the same courtesy.
And, just what in the world does this statement mean and how do you accomplish such a task?
“Why don’t you try living your life at no cost to others without their consent.”

I find it interesting that you think that public solicitation isn’t “cool” and yet every single bar in this nation is replete with people doing their best at public solicitation.
So, someone doesn’t like the setting, so what! LOL!
Afraid of seeing what you don’t want to see; hearing what you don’t want to hear!
Oh, I see, it’s cause it was a public restroom instead of a bar, or mall, or church, or grocery store, or school, or work place, or…. yeah, we get it.

Wow! What a stretch. Face it, Obama did nothing wrong, therefore, no fault was found.

i agree with you Greg. the state of Minnesota has a law against it. people going to bars go to bars in hopes of meeting someone for dare we say sexual encounters. when was the last time you cruised a public restroom for sex? i mean no disrespect to you. but it’s ludicrous.
i think heterosexuals are lucky in this sense. they can flirt and pick-up at the mall, the church, school and work. can you imagine a gay person doing that? they’d risk a split lip at least and fractured skull or worse.

OMG! A prez-elect has the audacity to suggest who he or she would want to take his or her vacant seat! Conspiracy be damned! The sky’s falling! THE SKY’S FALLING!

Ol Bare-back promised “change”.
Looks like there was a footnote we missed. No change. Just another liar.
So he dupes his sheep with a prepared picture and they buy the distraction. Freshly waxed even, just to make it even more better for those sheep.

Bare-back Bama—you seemed really turned on about the picture. it realy is a slow news day. everyone wanted a report and they got it, just like kids at christmas. only, like kids, it’s not good enough, it’s never good enough. so now that everyone has what they wanted let’s move on. nothing in the report contradicts what Obama said. no doubt there is a conspiracy in it…there is in everything. so spin that that conspiracy, have fun.

ABCeeya…
You guys are chummin’ for fish on yer gossip blog. If you’d spend 1/2 the time on the Bush administration our Country might be in a lot better shape. Unfortunately Bush has you losers effectively neutered.

Obama should have simply said of course my office suggested names to the governor and left it at that. Nothing illegal or surprising. But, he didn’t say that. Why not? There would be no story if he had.
His people mishandled this whole thing, which leaves a scintillating wisp of smoke to hint at a fire.
Maybe that’s the smoldering fire. A deep look into Daly’s Chicago. What did Blago receive for giving his congressional seat to Rahm when he was elected governor? Why did Michelle get that plush job tripling her income on a non-profit hospital board after Obama was elected state senator? Maybe these are the questions no one wants to answer, but might start popping up.
Not that any of it really matters except it might tarnish all the Obamalot hyperventilating.

It’s good to be a Drama Queen! If you can’t beat them, tarnish them! Brought to you by the anti-Obama crusade.

It would have to be a dead fish that would not be interested in who the replacement would be. There’s nothing wrong about this, so quit saying that there must be something fishy about any contacts. As long as it wasn’t a trade of greenbacks for a candidate, showing interest is absolutely correct, and would be totally suspicious if no interest or contact was made for the post.

I know one thing, President-elect Obama has a HOT BODY!!!!
MAN O’ MAN!!!!

SuzyTheLiberal:
Get a life!!!!
Election is over!!!
I do not entertain BULL!!!!

do not entertain BULL!!!!
——————————-
Sister,
I really hate conservatives who think they know it all. I have a psychology degree from Berkeley and I know whats up. Get onboard – Socialism is here. Get your lousy Corporate job so we can tax you! Obama is my man.

“Get over it neo-cons. Our president-elect is WAY more honest and clear than Bush and Cheney”
———————————
Lets see: Obama was buddies with Rezko, Ayers, Dhorn, Daley, Wright, Pleger, Farrakhan… and continually lies – a few examples:
“Just another guy on my street”
“Never heard him say anything bad in 20 years of church attendance”
“Did not help me buy my property”
“Only wrote a ‘form letter’ to support Rezko’s fraudulent projects in my district”
“Sent my kids to an elite private school because it was 5 minutes from my house” (public school was closer)
Hmmm… Obama = Mega Lies. The next 4 years will be really, really, really fun. And I have a front row seat.

Suzy, are you very young? You must be and you haven’t been taught in school that socialism has been proved a failed system of government in every case. The deserving people simply live on the same level of misery except for a small ruling oligarchy who live the good life. I don’t see the Obamas choosing to live small, nor should they. They both worked hard to get where they are. They deserve a fantasy vacation in Hawaii and private schools for their little girls. I would make the same choices if I could. I applaud their success and the system that provided it.

Time to widen the investigation – we need to get to the bottom of the Chicao corruption. Dig into all links of the Daley machine, Rezko “pay for play” schemes, radical educational ploys and Trinity Church alliances. Oops – all of these threads come back the same big eared politician – Obama.

Suzy, you’re fooling with us, right?

justahousewife: Suzy sounds more like the strawman right wingers conjure up to fill air time on talk radio. Probably just a college kid bored at home over the holidays jerking your chain. Obama has an actual record for anyone who bothers to look into it and it’s as centrist as Bill Clinton’s – there is no true ‘left’ party in American politics.

It’s real simple folks. It’s called CHANGE, CHANGE AND MORE CHANGE. You better hold on for dear life.

SuzyTheLiberal:
You’re whining about STARTING OUT at a “measly” 60K? As a social worker?? Sounds like YOU want to be rich, by the standards of us “regular people.” You gonna “get what you deserve”?
I’m sure you are, just not what you want to give the REST of the rich.
Here’s a blue’s clue for you, “new grad” child: People who make a lot of money make it giving people what they want. Video games, spectator sports, movies and music, all of these are considered more important BY THE MASSES than making the world a better place. So that’s where their money goes. Period. And it will after all the money is redistributed. Thus, the providers become wealthy AGAIN, and the masses return to their previous positions.
And your sheltered tenured profs are geniuses, really, pulling down 200K+ teaching impressionable minds that money is evil.

Anyone who thinks that a politicians main goal is not like any other enclave is not to prptect their interests is not aware of the true nature of the machine.

This such a non story. Guys like Rick Klein and Campbell Brown are trying as best they can to create some sort of controversy. Who in their right mind wouldn’t think that Obama wouldn’t have some interest in seeing someone appointed who, number 1 is a democrat, and 2 shared some of the views he held while representing the people of Illinois.
Funny how CNN headlined a story for the last 2 days about a poll taken over the weekend “Voters Split on Obama involvement” it was on their TV broadcast as well. This morning post release of the report, you have to dig to find anything. When you do find it, it contains phrases like “critics will wonder why he waited until Christmas week to release this information, as if they had something they wanted to keep under the radar” I paraphrase a bit. The reporting of late has been very comparable to the Tabloids. Pretty sad stuff.

Tabloid journalism by Rick Klein. “Obama interested in Senate seat after all”, This is a fine example of what I stated in my previous post.
Klein wants us to pay attention to his dribble by using this type of headline.

It is NOT Obama’s senate seat; it belongs to the people of Illinois. He probably should have stayed out of it, but the issue here, so far, is that he LIED about his involvement, not the involvement itself. He’s a politician, and he’s crooked, like all of them. The sooner his followers take off their rose-colored glass, the better. This election was a season of American Idol, and you know how fast those people self-destruct.

“This election was a season of American Idol,”
Ahhh, yeah. Right. If you’re getting at the whole “you campaign in poetry and you govern in prose”, then yes. But that’s always been the case.

Wait, wait, wait…the Magic Muslim was LYING??? Oh no, clutch the pearls! I thought only President Bush was capable of telling lies! No, the Plastic Saviour is as clean as the wind-driven snow, the only virgin in the bordello of Chicago politics!
Blagojevich was acting completely on his own, no one in Chicago EVER did this before, and no Democrat governor in any state of the nation is doig this right now with their special appointments to the House and Senate…
But, since Osama bin Urkel LIED to the American people already about him being a native-born US citizen (his drug-addled America-hating hippie mama renounced her American citizenship over five years before she ejected him from her womb in a vermin-infested hut in Kenya), since he COVERS UP by refusing to release ANY document that would prove he is constitutionally legitimate, and since he surrounds himself with criminal retreads from the disastrous Clinton crime syndicate, we’re supposed to beleive some BS “report” his Clinton attorney Greg Craig spews forth to cover up?
I have a feeling that the Plastic Muslim Messiah LIED to federal investigators, and we have an indictment coming down the pike for Bonobo-Hammed and many in his “transition team”. Say hello to Prezzie Biden (vomit!).

Suzy sounds more like the strawman right wingers conjure up to fill air time on talk radio.
—————————–
JHW539,
I am very real. I hope you are smart enough to know that the majority of us Obama voters want more wealth transfer from the rich to us.
The rabid right says that we don’t pay any income taxes (this is true – the bottom 40% actually receive 3.5% in tax credits), however, we have to pay sales tax on IPODS and things like that.
Obama will change all of this and hopefully increase our tax credit revenue. The lucky people with the high paying jobs should be giving us more.
Get with the program.

SuzyTheLiberal -I hope you are being facetious. Otherwise, you are in for a very rude awakening, my dear. Why should people who work hard support your lazy butt?

LOL This is a joke right? or are you actually stupid enough to try to connect suggesting names as Obama doing something wrong? These type of charges are the reason the Republicans are so far gone from political “power” that one can hardly find anyone willing to admit they are Republican! Soooo many now claim to be independent that it is just sad.
Get over it. Obama is a good man and will be a good President and these attacks that hold no merit just run more and more people to other parties.
LOL Imagine that the President elect has suggestions for his Senate seat BUT refused to pay for play! What was he thinking in being a good person? LOL Really? This is what you think is pertinent?

There’s something wrong with providing a list of names that the current incumbent likes? Seriously, study up on what has gone on in the past. There’s nothing wrong with putting forward a list of names.
The story is about the activities of the Governor. Until there’s a shread of evidence that the Obama team did something wrong, you should move on.

Republicans started dirty politics again this time with empty senate seat of Obama,what must be filled by a Democrat,”Period”.These republicans “Stole” election in 2000 for Bush and then Chainey,rumsfield,Katrina,gonzales,Katrina,”bhogus Iraq war” and in the name of war Looted Billions of taxpayer Dollars.Now this country is in serious tunmoil like ’30 depression. These people were dancing with bush-chainey for last 8 year. Whole world saw ” some Iraqi journalist throughing SHOE in the face of President Bush” does not he deserve ??Hay GOP what dirty game are you trying to play this time. We have made President Barak Hussain obama jr. our 44 th president in a HISTORIC and LANDSLIDE election ,Donated close to billion dollars for “Change” from dirty republicans who tried to fool and destroy our nation in last 8 years. This Bush-chainey was worse than Nixon and his “watergate”.These GOP need to stop and shut-up. after all voters are of these GOP and Cowboys who are trying to “RUIN” this country. In fact what we saw in last 8 years ,these GOP do not Deserve to come in “Power” until they qualify exactly what was the message from voters accross the nation.These people need to stop “Dirty politics” for ever. They can “Fool some people some ,but not all people all the time” and of course not this time.

Marx wrote: “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” Maybe, just maybe, so is voting or clinging to particular political parties in the USA. Those who embrace Obama must now allow themselves to embrace Bush’s Secretary of Defense (Gates); must prepare themselves to support many of former President Clinton’s former staff members; must stay silent as thousands of troops are transferred from one combat zone to another (from Iraq to Afghanistan). And, all being led by that great “man of words;” a person who has no previous experience in any executive position.
In his “The People, Yes,” Carl Sandburg wrote: “The liar in print who first lies to you about your health and then lies about what will fix it, the scare liar who hopes his lies will scare you into buying what he is lying about. The better-than-all-others liar, the easy- payment liar, the greatest-on-earth liar, the get-rich-quick liar befouling words and mutilating language and feeding rubbish and filth to the human mind for the sake of sales [winning elections], selling whatever can be sold for a profit [getting elected]-”

Obama did nothing wrong….stop it ABC…I’m getting so tired of the negativity…Obama won, he will become President and where were you when Bush had us into an unwarranted war, said the economy was structurely sound, and ignored Katrina….He and his administration ruined this country!!!!!
God help us all.

Yeah, obama never do anything wrong, he is the messiah. Negativity is bad unless it’s directed towards the Republican. obama con us fair and square so he’ll be the new president. President Bush should left saddam alone, he’s just a harmless dictator. So what if he commit genocide by using WMD, none of the American was killed. And violating the UN resolutions, it’s just an misunderstanding that all. saddam got a good thing going in Iraq and Bush just had to go ruined it. The economy has its up and down, people have to take responsibility for their own greed and actions. President Bush order all government agency not to help with Katrina disaster and any who would will be shot. Bush main objective is to ruin our country and he created hurricane Katrina to ruin NO. Thank god obama won, now I don’t have to worry about paying my bills or anything because he’ll take care of all of that for me.

It’s about time the de facto people that call them selfs Americans get what’s comeing to them for what they did to America

I hope you are being facetious. Otherwise, you are in for a very rude awakening, my dear. Why should people who work hard support your lazy butt?

ellsbells930,
This is the way it is in most countries – the ruling elite with Ivy league law degrees (or equivalent) should have governance jobs (politics, social program leadership) that are equivalent with the highest paying corporate jobs. That way, we will look out for the little people and ensure balance.
Traditionally, America has been way too capitalistic – this has made us the laughing stock of progressive/socialist countries like France and Sweden. I think France has it right – significant oversight on industry with very good social programs.

Wow, the first of many scandles of the BHO administration and he’s not even president yet. I for one am shocked.
Ron Paul 2012

by: bropous – You should read what you have posted. And next time read before you post. The most disgusting somach hurling post I have read all day.
So to the point this post:
>>>True enough, according to the report. But doesn’t this leave a bit of a different impression of Obama’s role in all of this than turns out to be the case? Could it be that Obama wasn’t above playing a bit of — gasp! — politics?<<>>Obama: “This is the governor’s decision. It is not my decision. And I think that the criteria that I would have for my successor would be the same criteria that I’d have if I were a voter: somebody who is capable, somebody who is passionate about helping working families in Illinois meet their — meet their dreams. And I think there are going to be a lot of good choices out there. But it is the governor’s decision to make, not mine.”<<< Well I guess you have to find a way to make up some kind of controversy. Look at your closing line. Even that indicates that the article was trying to see where it goes. And for those buffoons who are still raging about his birth, oh! Do you believe that McCain, Palin, the Fox loons, the US governmet, FEDS, CIA, FBI, DHS, USCIS and nearly 70 million US voters, are all wrong and have executed the greatest deception and cover up in history in order to elect Obama to the Presidency of the United States of America? Well, they did, you should just accept and support it. They must have thought that Republicans,W, had screwed up so badly, that they would do anything possible to ensure that another dunce uneducated Republican did not get the chance to completely destroy what we have left to rebuild, restore and maintain. It is the conspiracy that more than 80% of the rest of the world believe was worth it. It is people like you who will ensure that Obama has a more difficult time bring back what has been lost. We need the help and support of the whole country. Not complaining about the nearly 1 trillion he plans to spend in this USA to help rebuild it. Where were you when W ensure that we spend and lose nearly 3 trillion on a baseless war to destroy lives in Iraq? It is better that the plan of McCain to bomb Iran and further destabilize the Middle East. It is good that Obama gives an indication of the educated qualified people to help lead this nation back to life. You should get one.

The problem with chronic liars is that they will lie even when the truth is less incriminating. And, by the way, David Axelrod spoke with absolute certainity when he said Obama did discuss the senate seat with Blago. Of course, that was 2 weeks before Blago was arrested. Evidently, David Axelrod is no longer a reliable source for Obama. I hope Pat Fitzgerald lives up to his reputation and reveals the REAL Obama!

Thyme Again – “Any suggestion to the governor about who should fill his vacant senate seat is horribly unethical – as Obama is now the president-elect.” How is suggesting or providing a list of candidates unethical? The illegal and unethical test is whether you as an official personally benefit from an action. In any vacated elected office that I’ve ever seen, it is not unusual for officials to prefer candidates (usually those with shared objectives). If your standard were applied, no official could ever recommend or state their preferences. This would be total nonsense and would undermine free speech. The key, again, is whether one uses position and power to extract some personal gain. That would be illegal and unethical.

It is unethical because the job of a senator is to think critically about the president’s agenda. Obama wants an ally in that spot who will not think critically but will support him. Obama did nothing illegal, but it is unethical of him to make suggestions about his replacement when his goal is to fill the senate with supporters. As a taxpayer and a voter, I expect my president to follow a higher moral code and am shocked that people aren’t more outraged that Obama would even suggest (off the record in a conversation that was intended to be passed along to the governor)that his senate seat be filled with an ally.

TO BAD WE CAN’T SEND ARE DOFACTO GOVERMENT TO IROCK TO STAY

What your are assuming is that a senator who filled his seat and was an ally would not think critically and would always vote in lock step. There are numerous instances in our history where an official was supported for an office but did not follow the pattern you suggest. In fact, the Supreme Court is a prime example of this. It is not unethical for elected officials to have preferences. Examples where it would be unethical are the use of power to 1) blackmail someone into naming a preference 2) require a personal favor in return for naming someone or 3) require that candidates be selected or excluded base on race, religion etc. The goal of having a seat filled with someone who supports your philosophy or goals is not unethical as long as you do leave the choice to the person making the appointment and do not demand or offer something personal in return. Your outrage is overstated.

I have a little question.
Which group overwhelmingly supported that moron Bush’s bailouts?

Lisa – What you are saying is correct. An elected official could even prefer or recommend an unqualified person and that would not be illegal or unethical. It would fall into the category of “dumb”. The current administration is rife with political appointees who were probably unqualified. The appointments were, however, legal and ethical. When this is done, it satisfies a consituency but unfortunately does a disservice to the public. Prime Examples: Katrina & Iraq

obama is a marxist chicago thug, the end

The number of calls and the wording indicate NEGOTIATIONS between Obama and Blago for who got to fill the seat. “Appreciation” entails something other than a Senate seat but certainly something like federal funding directed Blago’s way. Just typical corrupt Chi-town politics from whence Odummy comes from.

Well, I was in Santa Cruz, CA, working for a friend. The women were getting ready for a nap. I answered the door and this scruffy College Chick asked me to donate to the “Idiot, O’bummer” I laughed at her and told her it was not my home and that I could not answer. She asked me again if I was going to vote for a bummer. I just laughed and said…”I don’t think so!” “Would you like to make a donation???????” “NO!” She left with her scruffy jeans and flip flops and her scruffy friend was across the street. Where do they buy these College People. Oh! I guess at the local College. Wow!
Why do they do that? If they dressed up and made a decent presentation….
Don’t you Think?
They look like the idiots they are and they will pay for it.
I laughed!
Mark

for those of you who think socialism is the right answer, beware what you wish for…
———————————
Socialism will allow the ruling elite to obtain high wages – some of us are more equal than others. Of course, everyone has the ability to get an Ivy League or Berkeley degree and join us.

I think that “Diggs” does’nt like me. They won’t allow me in. They say it is my password but that is not true…I just called Jimmy the Nut a Nut. Gone. I know ’cause I keep me password and all.
See if this gets through.
Mark

What do you mean by…”join us.” Do you want me to join you as a false liberal or the true meaning of a liberal. The word Liberal has been hijacked by “stupid people”. Used to be that a liberal was a person who beleived in the Constitution of the United States of America. Now it has been hijacked by stupid Commies, and other stupid pimples. (sic)
————————–
Mark,
At one time, a liberal may have meant an economic liberal (capitalist) under an Adam Smith context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_theory_of_economics
However, today “liberal” really means socialism: “Modern American liberals view massively unequal distributions of wealth and the destruction of the environment as threats to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_American_liberalism
I believe all countries have been moving toward liberals/socialism – and I am positioning myself to take advantage of this.

Who paid how much for Obama’s seat when he took it? Hmmmmmm?

SuzyTheLiberal,
I have been reading your posts and the pieces are fitting in my mind – you and your ilk don’t really care about this country, you simply want more money in your pocket without having to work for it. This is why you and most of the Obamabots voted for “The Socialist Messiah”. He has never held a real job but promises “riches” for you.
You need to grow up, get a job, and realize that “transferring wealth” from one person to another is simply stealing.
P.S. Berkeley is a 60′s muckfest institution that is more USSR than USA.

You need to grow up, get a job, and realize that “transferring wealth” from one person to another is simply stealing.

Tim the Capitalist,
You need to get a clue – Socialism is here to stay. I hope you make a lot of money because you are going to get TAXED.
You probably don’t believe Global Warming is real either (in addition to SOcialism).

SuzyQ: “Anyone who is not a socialist at 16 has no heart, but anyone who still is at 32 has no mind” (Woodrow Wilson)
…or aims to profit in a socialist regime (as one of the oppressors with the perks).
Yes, I know you’re not what you claim, you just poke for reaction. But get it straight, are you a social worker or a lawyer? You’ve changed your fictional degree…

Laughing Cynic,
If you read all of my posts you would know that (a) I have a psych degree [under grad] and (b) and working on a law degree. I beleive this model – ending up with a law degree – is the right model. Obama did it and look where he is.
Regarding jobs, my plan is to do a “community” type job for about 2 years – community organize, Project Vote – and then I will have the street cred to get into politics or run a social foundation with a lucrative salary.
Your comment regarding socialism is naive, socialism provides an opportunity for many of us to gain significant wealth without having to stoop to a “dirty” job – run a company, factory or engineering firm. I will be working 35 hours a week and will have significant revenue.
I forgot to tell you that my parents, both Berkeley Profs, have set aside a lot of money for me – I plan to fall back on this if my career doesn’t fully pan out.

Its interesting to see, only now, Obama actions which indicate that he is nothing more than a shrewd (crooked?) politician. During the election, he had no record, so many critical thinking folks, felt that the only thing that he could be evaluated on were his associations which suggested to critical thinkers what we are seeing now. A politician who offers no change other than perhaps being more skilled in Chicago-isms but disguised with suave.
Now that the real Obama is being slowly revealed to the public, I wonder if the Supreme Court might be less afraid to hear and rule on the substance of the Presidential eligibility issues that seem to all have been rejected without ruling on the merits.
I mostly doubt it, but the questions raised are so simple that, instead of closing down the conspiracy theories, they keep them alive. Many constitutionalists think the Supreme Court should answer:
a) Please tell us why the Founders didn’t mean “Natural Born” as anything other than born on U.S soil with no other allegiances (like U.K.-Kenya citizen father or born in Panama), which would toss both McCain and Obama out as ineligible. The founders didn’t define it because it was common usage that that is what it meant. This should be ripe for the Court to decide on. Heck they could even make law from the bench and say it is an evolving standard.
b. Why shouldn’t a candidate asking for the privilege of being the U.S. President, not have to provide unquestioned proof of eligibility in regards to U.S. birth and citizenship changes thereafter?

Obama is a liar!!! no contact….hum …..just alittle contact….oh boy…… what a transparent office????? I wish I never voted for Obama!!

Obama is surrounded by slime balls. Instead the media focus on how skinny he is. Of course he is skinny people, he is a crack head cigg smoking skinny dude.
I hope we survie the next 4 years.

Barry is a lying sleaze and if the media would lift their blanket of protection from around him he would be exposed for what he is… a traitor, anti-American, racist, corrupt politician.
Given barry’s phenomenal judgment of character in the past, I am sure he assumed blago was as honest as Abe Lincoln or he knew he was a dirt bag and tried to use it to his advantage.

thanks! suzytheliberal You are not a liberal or you are so stupid you don’t know you’re helping the rightwing.

Chaos,
I am a true liberal and am not helping the neocons. Most of the Obama supporters voted for him because he will transfer more wealth to them or they will gain from the transfer of power. 40% of Americans don’t pay any income taxes and 20% are ruling elite who don’t mind paying more – this is the approximate 60% who voted for Obama.
We need to educate America on the above facts (socialism was chosen) and ensure all children are properly indoctrinated.
There will be a scramble to move into the ruling class – I am pretty close and I am only 22.

PEBO lies with ease! How else do you think this nobody from the Chicago political cesspool climbed the palm-greasing ladder? :(
Blago is a good fellow in comparison!

Obama is the most slippery politician in good ole Washington.
The more he utters “change”, the less you will see. Unless you count bashing women’s rights and gay rights a real change…Shame on Barry Obama!
But i never went to exclusive Prep shcools in Hawaii paid by typical white Bank Vice President Grandma–whom I threw under the bus with my pastor!

The following is short and sweet. I wrote it and sent it to my senators and my representative, as well as every Republican senator. Please feel free to adapt it to your own preferences.
Dear (Name of Senator or Representative):
As of today, December 27, 2008, no legal authority in the United States has publicly stated that Barack Obama meets the constitutional requirement of being a natural born citizen.
Many Americans will not accept that a man will be inaugurated as president who has not been shown to meet the constitutional requirements for that office.
I expect you, as a defender of truth and decency, to take action on January 8, 2009 to establish once and for all whether Barack Obama is legally qualified to be president.
Sincerely,

“Gotta love the gullible middle class fools that voted for him.”
Gotta love the special brain-damaged lemmings on the right who actually think they know what’s what in the world. It’s cute. I admire the gusto. But the whole voting against your own self-interest simply out of spite is bizarre. Oh wait…Hannity and Rush don’t tell you that part, do they? Then again, they’re actually PART of the elite wealthy who are impacted by that nasty 4% increase in income tax. You? Not so much.

“Obama is the most slippery politician in good ole Washington.” …..

Turn away from the trough and ponder ‘getting a life!’

That has got to be the dumbest story yet. (lol) Is Obama so clean that you have to come up with THIS kind of nonsense. Sheesh….
