- Tony Rezko already had been linked to a grand jury investigation involving public corruption. Last month, he was convicted of 16 counts in an influence-peddling scheme that reached the highest levels of Illinois state government.
So Obama went wow! I''''''''ve gotta get this guy and his money to help me buy a house quick before he goes to jail!

- Oh this Mccain is Pure as the Driven Snow, I mean Pure as the Driven Sludge, that is !!!
Note: While Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control made as much as $29 million - and likely substantially more - from her family%u2019s business interests from 2004 through last year, data from the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Senate, U.S. Office of Government Ethics and the Center for Responsive Politics also reveals that they spent $11 million purchasing five condominiums for the family, hired additional household help and racked up progressively larger credit cards bills almost every year.
Their credit card bills peaked between January 2007 and May 2008, during which time Cindy McCain charged as much as $500,000 in a single month on one American Express card and $250,000 on another, while one of their two dependent children had an AmEx card with a monthly balance as large as $50,000. - Reply to this comment
- Yet it is Barack & Michelle Obama who are the `Elitist` Though the Obama`s just Recently Paid Off Their Student Loans !!!
Big Note: During the 2004 presidential campaign, Teresa Heinz Kerry, whose fortune was estimated to be worth more than $750 million, eventually released comparably limited information about her finances after repeated demands from Republicans who asserted the public%u2019s right to know because they said her finances were intertwined with those of her husband%u2019s presidential campaign.
The Kerry campaign had benefited from a $6.4 million personal loan Sen. Kerry secured using, as collateral, equity in a Boston townhouse the couple jointly owned.
Likewise, John McCain%u2019s presidential campaign benefited from Cindy McCain%u2019s fortune, using a `Legal Loophole` to travel the country in a Jet Owned by her company for Cut-Rate Fares.
Real Elitist: While Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control made as much as $29 million - and likely substantially more - from her family%u2019s business interests from 2004 through last year, data from the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Senate, U.S. Office of Government Ethics and the Center for Responsive Politics also reveals that they spent $11 million purchasing five condominiums for the family, hired additional household help and racked up progressively larger credit cards bills almost every year. - Reply to this comment

Ans: Oh Yeah, John McCain is a Straight and Narrow, Honest John of the Political World...Bull-Spit !!!

- The Obamas had no prior relationship with Northern Trust when they applied for the loan. They received an oral commitment on Feb. 4, 2005, and locked in the rate of (5.625 percent), the campaign said. On that date, HSH data show, the Average RATE in Chicago for a 30-year fixed-rate jumbo loan with no points was about (5.94 percent).
Oh what a STEAL of a DEAL...Pu-Lease !!!
"The bottom line is, this was a business proposition for us," he said. "Our business model is to service and pursue successful individuals, families and institutions.
Great Deal...Obama... Great Deal !!
"The Obamas bought the house for $300,000 less than the asking price of $1.95 million, while Rezko''s wife, Rita, bought the neighboring lot for the full asking price of $625,000. Rita Rezko later sold a portion of the undeveloped lot to the Obamas, enlarging the senator''s yard. - Reply to this comment
- Looks like "Bill Clinton Jr." got preferential treatment as a politician...which is exactly what he claims to be against. It''s the reason his VP search chairman resigned. This is a "good old boy" backroom payoff that normal people can''t get. (Just like his Rezko deal.) Sound familiar? Bill & Hilary with Whitewater, etc., etc.
Barry, (which is what he called himself to fit in at school), should just admit that he is not representing change at all. He''s just another crooked politician. - Reply to this comment

- There is only ONE bonafide centrist running for President. Keep that in mind when going to the polls. He''s taken the heat for it and will continue to do what''s in the best interest of the country no matter who disagrees with him. John McCain 08.

I got censored on the ABC blog. I couldn''t believe it because McCAin was totally being shredded and they removed mine. It''s Obama''s PC police that are out in force reporting stuff as abusive. - Reply to this comment
- CBS CENSORSHIP NOTICE:
If you critisize Obaaama too much you will get deleted from these blogs.
My name use to be von_marko. Liberals spew HATE and profanity non stop on this site, with no problems.
I published word for word quotes of Obama today with side by side quotes from Karl Marx and I got REMOVED.
Google did the same thing today to a major anti-obama blog.
Liberal hypocrites! For free speech until the truth hurts too much. - Reply to this comment
- Ahhh, at last we can see the clay feet of The Messiah. This guy is just as dirty as they come for all his preaching of CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. He has done squat for this country during his time in the US Senate and spent the entire time planning his run for the presidency. He has lost all credibility and will lose this election. The only CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN seems to be his CHANGING POSITIONS on just about everything on a daily basis. What we have here is the CHAMELEON CANDIDATE. By the time November comes the silent majority will decide to stick with what they know --- and reject the ever changing CHAMELEON CANDIDATE. It''s the Chicago hack with the dubious record against the war hero with 35 years as an independent thinker in the Senate. No contest. The DNC has let us down again.

- Mccain, Hillary and Obama were walking down a Washington DC street when they came upon a homeless man.
McCain gave the man his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the man.
Hillary gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into John McCain%u2019s pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless man $5.
Barak told him to %u201CHave hope%u2026change is coming%u2026%u201D and gave him nothing.
Now do you understand the difference? - Reply to this comment
- CHANGE we can believe in - since it%u2019s already HAPPENING...!
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. - Reply to this comment
