    Substance? Obama is an old style Chicago pay to play politician, He has no definable position because it changes according to who ever is willing to pay him for what they want.

    Obama is the unnamed "political candidate" referred to in a section of the document that accuses Rezko of orchestrating a scheme in which a firm hired to handle state teacher pension investments first had to pay $250,000 in "sham" finder's fees. From that money, $10,000 was donated to Obama's successful run for the Senate in the name of a Rezko business associate, according to the court filing and the source.

    Rezko, who was part of Obama's senatorial finance committee, also is accused of directing "at least one other individual" to donate money to Obama and then reimbursing that individual -- in possible violation of federal election law.

    Obama donated more than $44,000 in Rezko-linked contributions to charity last year, including the $10,000 donation mentioned in the court filing.

    That money was donated to Obama by Joseph Aramanda, a Glenview businessman and Rezko associate who, sources have said, is the ???Individual D??? prosecutors say received the $250,000 in finder???s fees demanded by Rezko. Individual D did nothing to earn those fees, according to prosecutors.

    The $10,000 contribution to Obama was given in Aramanda???s name on March 5, 2004, records show. While Obama???s camp has said the senator did not know Aramanda, Obama???s office hired Aramanda???s son as an intern in 2005, at Rezko???s urging.

    People do not know how uninformed and ignorant they sound when they describe a man with 20 years of political experience as inexperienced. I guess legislative experience does not count for a black man running for president. Hillary, was a one term elected official. The others bring records of experience, but what type of experience. People in this country wonder why the rich talks down to them, it's because it's so easy. Look, if Obama loses, tell me what he has lost? He's rich. He will get McCain's tax cuts for the rich. He will still be a Senator. Lets redefine what a loser is.

    When Obama announced Biden as "will be a great PRESIDENT???" And then Biden couldn't remember how to pronounce Obama, so he adlibbed with OBAMA AMERICA....what a laugh...now, we have two who don't have a clue...Obama thinks, Biden is running for President and Biden doesn't have a clue who this black guy is....I swear that I hear TAPS being played in the background....it looked more like a burial site than a festive occasion...It was a SUICIDE...O was too proud to crawl back to Hill and ask her to be his running mate...SO, Republicans took a huge sigh of relief and NOW, we can just sit back and cruise into the WHITE HOUSE in January....Obama is just as clueless today as he was when he began this farce...O handed McCain the election on a silver platter......Just say No to O

    Definatly a double extrem-left and ultra-liberal ticket here! The banner wavers of the Americans Suck First crowd!! Biden is co-archetect of one of it's key discrimination campaigns against law-abiding every-day americans who make this country work! (Biden targeted Gun Owners!).
    Sickly sad or sadly sick, Obamas' reach to-the-center is now withdrawn with scarsely getting a real grip there!
    This ticket that can conquer and energize the left, has already done so! As much as can be. From here, McCain walks--not runs--to the White House. He don't wage discrimination campaigns against Americans!
    Americans hate discrimination campaigns! Americans are great people!

    Biden because it is his hist last chance at something.. will never be President, but still can try to play one over inexperienced Obama!!. Who knows other younder ones with real future ever really wanted to run with the sinking boat? Also, the far left is in play bringing up Obama they dodn't want anybody to the middle. Watch out, Mccaine will solidify his bas by getting extreme right person!!

    and bump? the people saying Halleluiah are the same people in in the 43 percent.. I don't think he excites anybody other than the extreme left.
