Friends Like These

Obama's plan for jobs on Pennsylvania, Virginia , West Virginia , Kentucky, Tennessee, and other states, and Obama's plan for dealing with the high cost of energy, including electricity generation.

An audiotape of an interview Barack Obama did in January 2008 with The San Francisco Chronicle has surfaced in the final days of the presidential campaign. On the tape Obama tells the interviewer, . " so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. . . It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not Pennsylvania? We have seen this before, yes? Something about guns and religion.

And why did Newsweek take their story on the Pennsylvania campaign down yesterday after this story broke?

senator obama is not ex-detroit mayor kilpatrick's keeper! no way can you blame this man for embaracing a big city mayor...you people are nuts

I don't think it hurts Obama at all. In the beginning, Kwame Kilpatrick was in a position very much like Obama on a smaller scale. Kilpatrick was the new, younger guy with fresh ideas to help bring back a floundering city with severly mismanaged funds and old rhetoric. He DID help the city a lot in his first term. However, somewhere along the way he either thought he had clout because his mother is either a state rep. or a senator, and he started to believe his own hype. and made bad decisions. He surrounded himself with no good people and even his wife went along with abusing city funds. Obama is not Kwame Kilpatrick! I am formerly from Detroit and know that Sen. Obama has much more sense than to do or get caught up in nonsense like that. My goodness, I'm not a political figure and would know not to use any city devices to carry on illicit things. Even I would assume, being the mayor, especially one that gained so many haters from shaking up the old administration, that I was always being watched. No man is above reproach and Kwame thought he's the mayor and fooled himself into thinking he was untouchable. He should have taken a lesson from former mayor Coleman Young, he would have never let anything like that happen. He was too smart for that. I didn't say he didn't have his dirt, but he never got caught. Kwame thought he could get away with it and was so very wrong. I congratulate Detroit for calling him on his dirt.

???Democratic House Financial Services Committee Chair promoted GSEs while former 'spouse' was Fannie Mae executive.???

Why is it , that Obama just happens to be friends with the most shady and crooked people , Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Mayor from Detroid, can't get anymore crooked then he is.......Obama wants to be soooo black, but then he white washes him self constantly. What a phony. He won't get our vote.

It is so clear that Obama has alienated every Asian in America - he has never really reached out to them. Obama will make it hard on multinationals including the semiconductor and computer industry. He does not understand how important India is in terms of America selling goods into the Indian marketplace. Obama hates Asians given that he has NEVER reached out to them Instead his friends are failed mayors.

Obama sure has a poor choice of friends, doesn't he? Let's see, Kilpatrick, Wright, Biden!

The most interesting thing about Obama's friends is the lack thereof or at least input from them. Candidates always trot out their friends and co-workers from years gone by to say how great they are. In Obama's case, it's like he dropped in from outer space with no childhood friends or even enemies.

Point being? Have you not trusted someone and thought well of them then they go and do somthing to mess it up? Yeah i figured you have. Apparently so has Obama give him a break.

Kilpatrick used tax dollars and took advantage of that city to the fullest extent then lied under oath about an affair that was not with just a Jane Doe but one of his employees. Tell me how Obama has done or condones any of this? It's not as though Kilpatrick told Obama this is what he was doing or got advice from Obama on how to get away with it. In Kilpatricks's speeches prior to this controversy, he had many promises to the city of Detroit that were obviously spoken with a forked tongue. Obama most likely backed him based on those ideas and promises just like that people that voted for Kilpatrick. Who is to blame for Kilpatrick? Only him and those that helped hide and cover up his actions until honest people brought out his actions and justice was placed. Obama cannot read minds or tell the future, so stop holding him accountable for Kilpatrick and his actions.

In an interview Sunday with ABC???s ???This Week??? host George Stephanopoulos, Obama said, ???Let???s not play games. What I was suggesting ??? you???re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you???re absolutely right that that has not come??????

MSM

Obama is a moment of truthfulness has finally admitted that he is a muslim.

"The Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, was sent to jail today for violating travel restrictions that are a condition of his being free on bond as he awaits trial on eight counts of perjury and other felonies. The travel restrictions were tightened after Mayor Kilpatrick was accused of assaulting a sheriff''s deputy who served a subpoena on him. Mayor Kilpatrick is a Democratic National Convention superdelegate.

In May 2007, Kilpatrick received this glowing endorsement from Barack Obama, who called him a "great mayor" who is doing an "outstanding job." Obama also said that Kilpatrick "is going to be doing astounding things for many years to come."

MSM

Obama promises to be doing astounding things for many years to come too.

Can we trust him?? Of course not. We should sent him back to the senate and give him another eight years before we allow him to run for the Presidency again.

Oops! Barack Obama says 'my Muslim faith' in interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos

This is pure racism. do we connect John Edwards affair with Mc Cain or Larry craig's bathroom rendezvous. To link Obama with Kwame is insulting. And Kwame's crime was using city money for his perosnal gain, so i do not see why the media is jumping on this as if this is the face of all black men. Newsflash, politicians across the board has done this stuff. Im very ashamed of my country. End the racism Newsweek. America should be more mature than this.
