How is different from every other politician in office today??

The still disgruntled movers and shakers from the former Hillary Clinton campaign are !!Surprise!! Big Money Donors!

Would anyone even ask this question if Obama was caucasian?

Whatever good came out of Chicago Politics...nothing but angry, bitter, elitist, union bosses. This realtionship will bring down Obama in the end. Hill keep the bus motor running...you will be needed at the convention.

Yeah, Obama has collected a core of big money makers and all kinds of lobbyists! Strange is the absence of experts on average American families!

Seems like all his advisors do is have to correct his lamebrain activities and apologize for his stupid statements.

Turning this dipwit loose in the White House is absurd!

"He''s going to gravitate toward people like him," said Jarrett, who also serves as a senior campaign adviser and is one of the code''s quiet enforcers within Obama''s world. "He''s going to look for people with similar temperaments."

OH YEAH. Got that right... REv. Wright, etc. etc. etc. Just look under the bus....

"a low-profile loyalty that has set the tone for his campaign. They also have taken to heart the two rules Obama has imposed on everyone associated with his presidential bid, whether old friend or new hire: "no drama" and "no leaks."

Speaks VOLUMES about Obama''s "character." (i.e. none).

No leaks... yeah, right, to me that spells "no honesty."
