Obama Honest..not quite...

After Barak announcement to run for Presidency, Michelle Obama was promoted to vice president for external affairs for the Not-for-profit Chicago hospital and had her annual salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962. Not a bad raise, increased or $195,052 so she could gain "management experience" . Michelle Obama, who is a hardened corporate lawyer, has fired hundreds of long-time small-business employees for her corporate masters and who sat on a so-called "NON-PROFIT" hospital board that enjoyed PROFITS of over $147 million dollars in fiscal 2007, by charging minorities over FIVE TIMES what the hospital charged the insured for the same medical care. You could call Vice President Michelle Obama about this obvious policy of %u201Cracking in from the poor,%u201D since she deals with the community, but she''s busy running around the country telling people that as President her husband will make health care more affordable....

How come the news doesn''t tell us this stuff???? Because they keep any dirt about Obama under wraps. There''s more, much more, but no one seems to care...

Is your glass half-full or half-empty? I''m not counting any egg before they hatch. I''m just not being negative like you. Actually after the last eight years, I''d be happy with Obama, Clinton or McCain.

You stated in this sentence the exact reason why nothing improves in this country. Too much of our time is stuck on nonsense.

-Just goes to show how blinded people are from what this character Obama is really about and how they let the media drive their decisions in life. Any honest research on him reveals the truth about what he''''s really about.

Yeah, blame the media for Hillary getting a spanking.

Furthermore, if it is Hilary Clinton against John McCain, I will find it hard not to go for McCain even though I am a Democrat. Or I may not vote at all. Mrs Clinton will find it very difficult to win my vote in November now. Assuming of course she wins the primaries over Obama who I voted for out of California where he did not get the majority vote.

Hillary Clinton camp is up to some very nasty tricks already. trying to reverse party rulings so that they can hijack 366 ghost delegates from Florida and the other rogue primary, Michigan, where Mr. Obama wasn%u2019t even on the ballot. That''s low. Last month a Hispanic pollster employed by the Clinton campaign pitted the two groups against each other by telling The New Yorker that Hispanic voters have %u201Cnot shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates.%u201D Mrs. Clinton then seconded the motion by telling Tim Russert in a debate that her pollster was %u201Cmaking a historical statement.%u201DIt wasn%u2019t an accurate statement, historical or otherwise. It was a lie, and a bigoted lie at that, given that it branded Hispanics, a group as heterogeneous as any other, as monolithic racists.. this according to the NY Times. These are the kind of things that I would expect to see out of a republican candidate. Why stoop to such low standards? If Clinton has to stoop to do whatever it takes even if it means lying and cheating to win a campaign style tactics. Then I have to ask her support ers, How can you put trust in someone like that? who is willing to do anything, and say anything, even if it means breaking the rules.This scares me into thinking if she becomes President that it will be the business as usual politics of the last 7 years with very little change as she implies in her adds.

If J. McCain becomes president, there will be, according to what he said, more wars, a 100 year occupation of Iraq, a war that is based on the claim of the existence of weapons of mass destruction, a claim that now seems to be either a lie, a fabrication or a distortion of facts (or a combination of all these factors). Correcting a mistake in the mind of J. McCain, if it exists, is called a surrender! J. McCain said that economy is not one of his strong points, and it seems that what he says will be basically a continuation of the same failed policies that brought the country to the verge of recession. B. Obama for president is the best realistic hope for the US.

Hussein is a very common name in the Middle East. King Hussein of Jordan was one of America"s best friends in that part of the world. A noted Arab Christian martyr had that name as well.

As a poster pointed out, Obama should feel no more embarrassment about it, than Joseph Lieberman should feel about sharing his first name with Stalin.

But some people just have to obsess on such nonsense.
