There is no evidence that she "she arranged for him to study Marxist Labor activism" with Davis. More disinformation. See Barack Obama | Mark Davis's Blog

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
Youu have failed to prove any corruption on Obama's part. He wasn't the director of the Woods fund but merely sat on it. If you can find me proof that he signed checks from the Woods fund to his former church then THAT would be corruption.

ACORN is not a left wing organization since I have worked with them on housing issues here in Florida and they work around the nation to help low income buyers get into affordable housing.

How is using Northern Trust Bank for your mortgage corruption? If you had a working business relationship with a bank and knew people there why wouldn't you go and use the services of a bank that is familiar to you? Can you show if Obama got an unfair rate on his mortgage or a payback/kickback bribe?

As for Ayers he hasn't been accused of any corruption and the only one who has been convicted of corruption is Rezko. Amazingly Obama was investigated and was cleared of anything improper but I guess the right wants hang him with the very criminal "guilt by association"

You're using logic and common sense and that's not what they want MiamiRob. They want to hate and be afraid.

^ this is one of the very few forums that I have found such disdain for Obama outside of the bloggers. City Data seems to lean very to the right.

Do you ever get the feeling that if these people werent typing this stuff they would be writing it out on big pieces of cardboard in tiny little print and standing on streetcorners with it?

About 40 percent of the money was borrowed from China and other international investors—the first time since the Revolutionary War that foreigners financed a U.S. war.
Quote:
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently said that the war’s cost would amount to $1.2 trillion to $1.7 trillion by 2017. Harvard researcher Linda Bilmes and Nobel Prize–winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, in their book The $3 Trillion War, say that the war’s long-term cost will range from $2 trillion to $5 trillion. Iraq is already the second most expensive war in U.S. history. Only World War II cost more, about $5 trillion, adjusted for inflation. As a point of perspective, consider what the $600 billion we’ve spent already could have purchased, says Bilmes. “The money spent on the war could have fixed Social Security for 75 years or provided health insurance to all American children,” she says.

We don't have to worry about the military threat of China. They already own the United States through its ever-increasing reliance upon foreign money to keep our country running.

You are highly mistaken. However, you missed your time and place. With HUAC and McCarthy your opinions would have fit in just fine.

Republicans and mcCain stink. This is clear.
Do you have problems with Obama wanting to send more troops and increase our position in Afganistan???? What is the difference...Iraq, Afganistan...is the cost of war different????

^ Paka well Iraq didn't attack us but Afghanistan did harbour Bin Laden and if we had put in all of our resources into that effort we might have caught him instead he is still on the loose. Iraq was not a matter of national security.
