Default Obama's shady deals.

Here is a short list. I won't delve into the real sleezy corruption, but just some of the most recent corrupt deals coming from the Obama camp.

1. Obama has faced questions about his relationship with Chicago businessman Antoin “Tony” Rezko, who raised money for past Obama political campaigns and played a role in the purchase of the Illinois senator’s home. Obama has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with felony fraud charges against Rezko.

2. Executives and employees of Exelon Corp., a Chicago-based energy giant and nuclear plant operator, have contributed more than $200,000 to Obama’s campaigns since 2004. This month, The New York Times examined whether Obama, at the behest of Exelon lobbyists, had watered down legislation aimed at tightening regulations on the nuclear industry.

3. Obama's house deal which the Slum Lord Rezko helped Obama buy.

4. Some of his foreign contributions, which include money from George Soros, the Hungarian financier who wants to control the US government from outside the country.

Clinton Resists Calls to Release Tax Returns, Hits Obama on Ties to Contributors - You Decide 08!

So when you think about it, the media new "Jesus Christ" ain't holy like the RWAL Christ. Obama is nothing more than a greedy politician, who . I think people need to take a real good look at Obama's voting records and stance on issues. This guy has stood for nothing (other than blaming Hillary for voting for the Iraq War) in the last 10 years. No experience running anything, inspirational speeches that have no substance. Won't answer any specific questions on issues (example: Obama says "Americans need to come together" - okay, HOW do we do that. Obama says "America needs to end dependency on foreign oil" - ok, HOW do we do that, HOW do we PAY for it, WHAT do we do in the meantime while soloar panels and other silly things get developed/installed and gas is hurting American families at $3/gallon)? He has these well-written speeches, but he has no concrete positions on anything or has any ideas on how to deal with any specific issues.

Obama talks a good game, but he has NO idea how to actually handle any of America's problems. He has no idea how to pull out of Iraq, he has no idea how to deal with the slowing economy (other than raise taxes and provide handouts to illegal aliens and lazy people on welfare), he has no idea how to deal with Iran (other than have them over for coffee and cookies at the White House). This guy is all talk, no ideas, no action.

Not only that, Obama has co-sponsored and/or passed ZERO bills since joining the US Senate, voted over 160 times in the Illinois State Senate "Present" other than taking an actual position on an issue. He has beena do-nothing Senator, a partisan that voted with his party line 99.8% of the time, is NOT an united, he has never reached over to the GOP to pass a bill, yet he speaks of "bringing the two parties together". LOL

I hate Hillary, but at least she knows how to fix some of these issues, she has specific ideas on specific issues, while most of her ideas may be stupid, she actually states what she plans to do, not just stand there and give speeches on how America needs to come together, blah, blah. Talk is cheap, it's time Obama answer some questions and explain how he plans to fix all the things that America does wrong.

Ok, so I said what people are afraid to say about the media's new god. Therefore, I am ready for your negative points for disagreeing with me and for pointing out the obvious: that Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more than the Manchurian Candidade, a media creation, a fraud, a "project candidate" put out there to prove that Americans are willing to elect a candidate based on race only and out of guilt for what happend during slavery.


There I have said it. I am not afraid to see mys core drop to -100 based on the hate I will receive from Obama's fanatical supporters.

Sorry, Rezko did not help Obama buy his house, nor did they work together on any business deals. Keep looking, though. Just stay away from those interner rumors. Rezko is not really a slumlord, either. He actually was closer to Blagojevich than to Obama. Don't believe all the insults out there.

Exelon? Barack couldn't pass that legislation by himself, could he?

His state is more nuclear oriented. First, anti-obama people say he hasn't done anything in the congress and then accuse him of working with the oil-industry to water-down legislative by himself. According to you Obama can't do no right.

This is just digusting. You should be ashmed of yourself. Why are you anti-soros? Because he is a jew? Or because he is a self-made billlionare by coming and working hard in america? Or because he is not american born --- but--- a naturalized american citzen?

Wikeidpia ======== Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker wrote in 2003 in the foreword of Soros' book The Alchemy of Finance:
"George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game. The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but - more important - tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior."

1) "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act ----- Obama-Feingold lobbyist bundling restrictions.
2) Coburn-Obama Transparency Act"
3) Second round of Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction ---- Obama-Lugar nuclear reduction.
4) Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act,"

I hate Hillary, but dude, you cannot expect her to find out who someone is while in a photo-shoot with people in an event.

Now Obama is knee deep with Rezko, he represented him, Rezko helped Obama buy some ghetto property to build his house on top of it, Rezko has donated over $200,000 to Obama.

So yes, Obama is in deep cahoots with a slumlord. This photo means nothing.

Remember Rosalynn Carter's flick with John Gacy? He was later executed!

Obama worked at a law firm which had Rezko as a client but did very little work for the Rezko company, maybe 5 hours. Obama's house is in an area where the houses go for $2 million and is across the street from a synagogue. This is literally and figureatively NOT the ghetto. Plus, Obama's house is about 80 years old so he certainly didn't build it. Rezko did not help him buy it. I don't think you've ever been to the south side? Do a little research.

You know how many supporters any major politician has? I wouldn't say they are in 'cahoots' will all of them!

Sorry, but if you look up the information you will see that Obama could not have purchased his house without Rezko's wife buying the property next to it. Obama said that himself. That they did not have enough cash to purchase the house and the property. That is when he asked the owners if they would divide the property. Its quoted in one of the chicago papers.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Unless you want to back it up with some sort of reputable source, you are just spreading false internet rumor.

"The house and the adjoining yard had been owned as a single property, but the owners were listing them separately and asking $1.95 million for the house and $625,000 for the landscaped side lot."
