Comments on: For The Record: Barack Obama

A Closer Look At The Candidate's Background - From Local Church To State Senate To Capitol Hill

[rainbow008]

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF FEAR! Labels such as %u201Ccommunist";fascist, also deliberate designations for "left-centre-right"; in politics are proven by contemporary science (and social practices) to be very debatable notions. Notions varying with a tremendously rich gamma of specifics in terms of geographical, historical and cultural pre-conditions. There is one universal phenomenon, regardless of these latter though. And this is the activity of spreading fear. It''s an easy-reach instrument tackling the inherent human predisposition: to be afraid. And because of being relatively so easy to achieve it works.Spreading fear is the "par excellence"; strategy of dictatorships, political regimes representing special interests, be it communist, fascist, populist, or capitalist. Check out Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Castro, Bush, Ghaddaffi, the hierarchy of the modern corporate empire: just to name a few examples of modern history (how cool that Bush is becoming history & how sad we, contemporary humans have made it and lived it)

Finally, the news is starting to provide segments that allow us to understand more about each candidate rather than just the rhetoric. Thank you.

Obama where was your good judgment?The London Times article: Mansion ''mistake'' piles the pressure on Barack Obama demonstrates what kind of judgment. Calling 98% of Congress stupid is not going to win you support on capital hill, nor will dirty land deals.At least CBS is takeing notice.Below are the few lines of the article.Goggle article name above to read all.A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama''s fundraiser just before an imprudent land deal that returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses.The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain%u2019s wealthiest men,helped Mr Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.A company related to Mr Auchi,who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered the loan to Mr Obama''s bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko on May 23 2005. Mr Auchi says the loan,through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA,was for $3.5 million.Three weeks later, Mr Obama bought a house on the city''s South Side while Mr Rezko''s wife bought the garden plot next door on the same day, June 15.Mr Obama says he never used Mrs Rezko''s still-empty lot,he pays his gardener to mow the lawn.Mrs Rezko,whose husband was widely known to be under investigation at the time, went on to sell a 10-foot strip of her property to Mr Obama seven months later. Mr Obama now admits his involvement in this land deal was a %u201Cboneheaded mistake".

For the record, really, a closer look at Obama''s background would entail a full investigation of the claims made by one Larry Sinclair. These claims have been made for months by this man and you so called "main stream media" have turned a deaf ear to his claims. You even treat his (Obama''s)involvement with Rezko as though it has no real bearing on his presidential candidacy. Your overt support of Obama, including this aversion to a true investigation of him, will serve no one well. Do your jobs as journalists CBS and investigate him before we all perish!!!!!

Another free ride for Barack Hussein Obama from press. Heard that Barack Hussein Obama not only afraid of his Middle name Hussein, but he is also senitive to his EARS. Take a good look at his EARS.
His words are good as his EARS.

This guy is a Joke along with all his supports too.

I just watched the version of "for the record" and, as I thought might be the case, the differences in the tone of the two pieces clearly demonstrate the leaning of CBS/Katie toward clinton. I really am disgusted. I hung in there, continuing to watch CBS news, feeling almost sorry for Katie and all the negative publicity she has received, poor ratings, etc. I give up!! I will not, under any circumstances, continue to support what I have heard others (unfortunately, mostly right-wing whacks) refer to as the Clinton Broadcasting Network. And why is it I can''t view what others have commented??? Are others as disgusted as me??? You, Katie, CBS News, have lost yet another viewer. And I know from talking with many people, I am one of many, although I am one of the few that kept making excuses that you needed time to grow into your ''position''. I am sorry I was so wrong and wasted so much time.

WHERE WAS OBAMA''S GOOD JUDGMENT HERE--the property land deal looks like money laundering...but this billion dollar Iraqi British man looks even more interesting...Check out London times article: Mansion ''mistake'' piles the pressure on Barack Obama. British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama''s fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses. The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain%u2019s wealthiest men, helped Mr Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.
A company related to Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered the loan to Mr Obama''s bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko on May 23 2005. Mr Auchi says the loan, through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA, was for $3.5 million. Three weeks later, Mr Obama bought a house on the city''s South Side while Mr Rezko''s wife bought the garden plot next door from the same seller on the same day, June 15. Mr Obama admits he paid his gardener to mow the lawn. Mrs Rezko, whose husband was widely known to be under investigation at the time, went on to sell a 10-foot strip of her property to Mr Obama seven months later so he could enjoy a bigger garden. Hmm%u2026Mr Obama now admits the land deal was a %u201Cboneheaded mistake%u201D. Read the entire article at: Google London Times, Mansion ''mistake'' piles the pressure on Barack Obama.

Notice the photos at the top of this page or any other of Barack and another candidate. Barack is always pictured looking towards the heavens. While like this picture, Hillary just looks lumpy. I keep waiting for angelic music to start playing as soon as the picture loads. The media should be charged with attempts to influence the outcome of an election.
