the war is dumb and obama is corrupt
both parties suck
but obama is particularly corrupt
like he went around interviewing people to see what church would be best for his political career
and then he eliminated all other competition for the legislate. And then didn't stop other people from opening Jack Ryan's divorce papers. He is a fake and I hate how people ignore him. All because of the stupid democratic media (im not saying they should be republican but they should be less biased and stop only showing Obamas good/fake side)

He says he will fund them with "PAYGO" but his proposals would take 17-20 or more years to fund according to economic theorists. Obama's plan reeks of Marxism!

Two years after you posted this we see the cost is much, much higher.

During that time, the tax exempt foundation made some interesting grants, including one to Obama's church, Trinity United Church of Christ, headed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the time. Grants were also made to ACORN, a left wing voter registration group and to a partnership for constructing low income housing. The fund also used Northern Trust for financial services, which is the same company that provided Obama his 2005 mortgage.


In 2001 the board of directors included Obama, William Ayers, the former Weather Underground radical terrorist, and serving as chairman was Howard J. Stanback who headed New Kenwood LLC, a limited liability company founded by now-convicted felon Tony Rezko and Allison Davis, Obama's former boss at the law firm of Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland


story here:

American Thinker: Obama and the Woods Fund of Chicago
Uh... media refused to discuss? I think you just forgot, when all this crap was being discussed incessantly before the 2008 election.

Or maybe the news sources you were looking at wanted to hide the fact that Obama's only connection to Ayers was serving on a board with him.

Americans worry less about corrupt politicians than bad economies.

Default horse is out of the barn

Waste of time to talk of PO's past.

What's is he doing today that will become part of his future corrupt past?

Why not address how he bypassed congress and public discussion to appoint a guy, with an interesting history, to head healthcare that has a budget larger than the military budget.

Consider that the between session appointments were a legacy to colonial times where travel and communications were in their infancy and an emergency might warrant a presidential appointment. His latest appointment violates the spirit, ethics and trust of the American electorate as well as making the legislative process irrelevant.

The exceptions that have been made for this President astounds me! Any other Presidential Candidate Running for office, who had Rev Wright as his Pastor and pals like Ayres would have been crucified by the local media, news outlets and radio stations alike. What's good for the Goose in this case in not good for the Gander, too many exceptions made for Obama. Which leaves me to believe what hand does the media have with Obama, what is in it for them, something very apparant. Look at his past associations, his friends, you do not hang around these kind of People, become President, and you ways of thinking vanish, and now you hate your friends, you may want the Citizens to feel that you hate these people now, but this is all a front. An agenda here with this President, just what, i like you don't exactly know.

Doesn't the word "history" generally include the assumption that it occurred in the past? Or am I over-exaggerating?

The McCain campaign tried very hard to get that mud to stick. It didn't work because not only was there no real dirt there at all, but Obama did a 180 from conventional political wisdom of "don't dignify it with a response" and shed light on the truth. It was an absolutely brilliant political tactic and actually left McCain looking far worse than Obama.

Wrong again.

McCain ORDERED all of his staff to NOT dig dirt.

Please get your stories correct as McCain said on many occasions that he would not go after all the piles of dirt on Obama and he did not.

Believe me, if he had and with his connections he could have dug up what we all know now is a total and hidden corrupt life on Obama.

You give Obama for being brilliant, well, just how brilliant is he now to you?
To a huge majority of us he is a total and utter failure and the largest mistake ever in American political history.

He numbers show it, his records show it, this economy shows it, the gulf disaster shows it, the record foreclosures, the record number of illegals he is trying to let run free in America shows it, the weakening of our stance around the world shows it, the daily mistakes shows it.

You voted for the wrong man. Admit it. Not being a McCain fan myself, he would have been far better of a choice then this anti American socialist scumbag Obama. At least he would not have bowed down to our enemies and screwed up everything he touches like Obama does daily.
