Its should be a crime to give to your own charity to get a tax break!!! The Clintons donating to the Clinton Library to beat the government out of a tax break is typical....

Counterpunch:
Obama has a way of ducking hard votes or explaining away his bad votes by trying to blame poorly-written statutes. Case in point: an amendment he voted on as part of a recent bankruptcy bill before the US Senate would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. Inexplicably, Obama voted against it, although it would have been the beginning of setting these predatory lending rates under federal control. Even Senator Hillary Clinton supported it.

Now Obama explains his vote by saying the amendment was poorly written or set the ceiling too high. His explanation isn''t credible as Obama offered no lower number as an alternative, and didn''t put forward his own amendment clarifying whatever language he found objectionable.

Why wouldn''t Obama have voted to create the first federal ceiling on predatory credit card interest rates, particularly as he calls himself a champion of the poor and middle classes? Perhaps he was signaling to the corporate establishment that they need not fear him. For all of his dynamic rhetoric about lifting up the masses, it seems Obama has little intention of doing anything concrete to reverse the cycle of poverty many struggle to overcome.

The Clintons are tight fisted money grabbers. Despite lining their pockets with 109 MILLION, Hillary merely LOANS her campaign 5 MILLION. Why doesnt she GIVE it to her campaign instead of LOANING and put her money where her mouth is? After all, other candidates like Mitt Romney put millions of their own money into their own campaigns.

That way she would be showing that she has complete confidence in herself and her campaign and this in turn would encourage other donations.

However, she loans instead of gives to her own campaign because she knows she is going to lose so she would rather lose donors money in her futile campaign and keep all her millions nice and safe; so she can sleep in a solid gold bed with a mattress stuffed with 100 dollar bills. And solid gold pant suits for herself and Chelsea !!

''Granny,

See the MAN of the house must be out again, so you feel empowered to post your Gloria Steinem like antics again here tonight. Better get in as many post as you can because when he returns his dinner had better be on the kitchen table woman.

In about 12 days, Pennsylvania will be showing lil'' Hillary her place too.

It''s just entertainment. McCain will have more Presidential responsibility to tend to, while the Republican machine disessmbles the fragile Obama phyche and his shabby entourage.

Perhaps it is pointless exchange views with a neophyte such as youself. I will leave to pick on girls so you can feel all manly when you are actually an impotent little freak........

He is worse than other politician''s because he say''s that he is different,.....and has shown he is the same.

Did you hear? McCain will keep us in Iran for 5 billion years, or until the sun swells to a red giant - whatever comes first.
