Here is a newspaper with the story also, tough rocks EH!
Washington Times )ct 2008
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. has paid more than $2 million in campaign cash to his family members, their businesses and employers over the years, a practice that watchdogs criticize as rife with potential conflicts of interest.


Getty Images FAMILY: Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr.''s son, Hunter Biden, was at a campaign stop with his father in December. The candidate''s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, is his longtime campaign manager.

The money largely flowed from the coffers of Mr. Biden''s failed presidential campaign during the past two years to a company that employs his sister and longtime campaign manager, Valerie Biden Owens, according to campaign disclosure filings.

The senator from Delaware also directed campaign legal work to a Washington lobbying and law firm founded by his son R. Hunter Biden, the disclosures show.

FactCheck.org is a leftist rag site. Joe Biden gave money to his family members per an ABC news story.
You just don''t like th truth, you''re going to have to deal with that.

The best government that money can buy.

[jowand]

Obama gets to keep the money left over from his campaign. Joe Biden kept over 2 million from his failed bid and gave it to his family. Better deal than any of the lotteries. Super-Duper-Socialism for politicians, Democrat and Republican.

Mebe Obama can bailout the usa with all that

"And as far as being self righteous is concerned demswin08, you take home first prize as you continue to consider yourself righteous in blaming the United States military for the problems in the world instead of the true evil that must be defeated: Islamic fundamentalism Posted by Christ_Truth"

If we leave the Middle East, including Israel. - We will not have a problem with Islamic Terrorists. So let''s change our economy and get off oil and leave the Middle East.

It would be better for everyone except the oil companies, the military, the politicians and the supporters of Israel. Which is why it will never happen.

I am the anti-christ and here all along your thought it was Obama. Man you get fooled easily. Posted by demswin08 at 11:46 AM : Dec 05, 2008 You''''re definitely "A" anti-Christ, that''''s for sure. You folks are all over the WWW. That''''s where you atheists like to hang out to have your minority voices heard. IT makes you feel better about yourself temporarily, but then you go to bed and wake up the next day just as empty and filled with void in your life as you were the day before.....a Your pride overwhelms you so much that you have no clue what the meaning of humility is. Posted by Christ_Truth"

Christ_Truth - if you had been born in Saudi Arabia, you would be Allah_Truth, in India you might be Buddha_truth, in Russia probably an ardent Marxist, maybe a Stalinist and so on...

You think you are a christian because of some devine intervention that put you in the USA and in a christian family. Not likely.

Believe what you want but for your sake and everyone''s in this country, keep your religion out of our politics. We will all be better off for it including you!

Whether you think I am an atheist or not doesn''t matter, just as your faith doesn''t matter to me or others, so long as you keep your religion out of government.

You couldn''t guess my faith with any accuracy. I do not wear it on my sleeve and there is no reason for you to either.

I''ve met people like "Christ_Truth". They wreck their lives doing all kinds of ungodliness to themselves and other people. Then they once they hit rock bottom, they are some how "saved" or "born again", and they feel that everyone should join them. Now, all of a sudden, they are an authority on how to live your life. People like this get bored of all the god-talk after a little while, and they revert back to the scumbags they once were. I''ve seen this situation alot

[presjfk]

"nycsense The USA isn''''t a bad place to live. More people flock to live here from around the globe than any other planet.

Yes, I know you think that Big Daddy Government will be able to fill that void of unhappiness you have in your heart, but I can guarantee you that you''''ll still wake up the next day just as miserable looking for something else to complain about as you were the day before.

Be humbled about what you DO have, not what you don''''t have, and stop expecting man and the government to solve all of your emptiness in life for you.

Posted by Christ_Truth"

"Big Daddy Government" as you call it just screwed us all and you suggest what? That we look past the corruption and incompetence and look elsewhere to fill the void of an economy that has been shattered?

I will assume from your pen-name that you are one of the born again numbnuts that put Bush in power. How about you take some of your own advice, not vote and read the bible instead of *** up the country for the rest of us.

If you voted for Bush/McCain, you can go **** yourself.

"Just look at all you BITTER OLD HAGS,, GET A LIFE, YOU RAN THE COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND. WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS MOOT, NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOUR HYPE. SUCK IT UP AND SHUT UP, YOUR ONLY MAKING YOURSELVES LOOK LIKE THE FOOLS WITHOUT A CAUSE.

YOUR PARTY AS SAT BACK AND LET BUSH DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND THEY HELPED HIM. YOU CAN SAY ALL YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA, NO ONE''''S LISTENING. YOUR THE REASON THE LIBS TOOK THE WHITE HOUSE. OWN AND MOVE ON, ENOUGH WITH YOUR DOOMSDAY RANTING, YOUR THE REASON OBAMA WON. Posted by ToldYouSo74"

Great post, you nailed it.

[presjfk]

How about paying off Hillary''s campaign debt? It is the least you could do for her and Bill''s support.

[observer2020]

So why doesn''t he help out the economy and give it to the people?

[nycsense]

Wow! Alot of you a still crying sour grapes. You people really need to get over it and move on. Especially when republicans had 8 whole years to totally screw things up. Did you really expect to keep on going? I mean are you all really that dense? The man hasn''t taken office yet and the critizim has already begun. Some of you claim that he''s crooked, meanwhile your main guy, Bush is being named the worst president in US history. Don''t even get me started on Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove. Yet, republicans still want things to keep going the same way. There is a term for doing the same things over and over again expecting a different out come each time: it''s called being stupid.

[grumpas]

When liberals say "change" they mean they want to eliminate God from everything in this country and turn us into a Stalinlike dictatorship, eliminating absolute morals and principles any way they can.

See the atheist liberals attacking Christmas in Seattle, for example.

I wonder what would happen if these atheists were to protest God in front of Muslim mosque or something.We''''d probably have another 9-11-01 on our hands if so.

Fact is atheist liberals agree with dictatorships/communism abd silencing anyone who opposes their twisted demonic world view. History tells the tale.

Your rants speak for themselves. Just another religious nut job!

Looks like a lot of bitter Republicans here...

Want some cheese with that whine???

[drputt45]

About 3/4 billion to buy the presidency. And the dems and media are making a deal about the piddly amount (in comparison) spent on clothes and makeup.

Well the sheepherder is in the whitehouse. What''s next?

[easeup-2009]

Bush organized and tracked his large donations by industry so that he knew who to pay back once in office. That''''s why the country is in the mess it''''s in.

Posted by Mcliar at 11:11 AM : Dec 05, 2008

Oh please, if you think Obama isn''t keeping track and will not pay back his large donors you are beyond naive...

[easeup-2009]

Who is the majority shareholder of Obama, and more importantly, what are they going to get in return?

[mrmeatspin]

and who ever gave that 745 million dollar$ WOULD WANT A FAVOR PRETTY SOON
