    I think Obama and his camp needs to address the rumors made by Larry Sinclair before they start to judge. There have been many residents living in the greater Chicago area and a hand full have made the claims and have repeated the claims that Obama and Rev Wright to name a few were high profile men that experience the Brothers on the Down Low lifestyle in the Chicago area. Authorities in the area wanted to question Obama on the death of one of these men who live this kind of way but it was quickly covered up by the left winged media that supports his campaign and the gossip magazine who first printed the story. This guy is nothing that he claims to be and it is very say that the American public is aiming at putting this man in office not knowing his homosexual/gay lifestyle. If these claims are false then why hasn???t he address them sooner, the answer ladies and gentlemen is that is can???t. The proof is written on the wall and now the people of these great lands need to decide.

    First of all, this article is stupid. Here is why

    Guiliani-
    Cheated on ALL of his wifes. In fact, his last wife before the one he has now had to get a court order so Guiliani would not bring his mistress into the mayoral mansion with her and the kids. He was still married! What man needs a court order to tell him to stop bringing his mistress into the house he shares with his wife AND kids. Guiliani's kids don't even speak to him now.

    McCain
    Cheated on his wife with many women, INCLUDING Cindy. He met Cindy while he was married and slept with her the SAME night he met her!!!! This is according to his very own account of their meeting. He divorced his wife and married Cindy!!!!!

    So if we are going to start pointing fingers at people who have cheated and then lied about it, let's be fair and honest. The republicans and democrats both have faults. There are crooks and liars on both sides. There are cheaters on both sides. There are republicans like Foley who like young boys. There are others who love porn. Let's stop pretending like any one is better than the other. They are all a bunch of hypocrites.

    John McCain just accepted the Republican nomination and adopted the most conservative platform in the history of his party. After days of negative attacks -- and no mention of real proposals to fix our economy, get more people health care, or make America safer -- the party that brought you eight years of disastrous policies is asking for four more.
    Across this nation, people have joined with Barak Obama because he believes that we are better than the past eight years. After the last eight years, it's up to us, the American people, to keep America's promise alive.
    How can John McCain pull us out of the deep hole we're in when he voted with George Bush more than 90% of the time? The American people deserve more than a 10% chance at change. No matter what McCain says, we can't bring about change by relying on the same ideas that have failed us for the last eight years.

    The reason the "distancing" works for Obama is that the media never makes an issue out of all these relationships that this presidential candidate has had.

    What Obama is doing here is the same old, same old. As soon as a good friend or mentor becomes a problem, they disappear. And the MSM never goes hunting for the Missing Persons.

    Why would the Republicans spend a whole night of their convention attacking ordinary people?
    With the nation watching, the Republicans mocked, dismissed, and actually laughed out loud at Americans The Democratic convention was different. The Dems gave the stage to everyday Americans who hunger for change and stepped up to make phone calls, knock on doors, and raise money in small amounts in their communities. The Dems showed the country a video with the faces and voices of those organizers, volunteers, and donors from every corner of the country.
    What you didn't hear from the Republicans at their convention is a single new idea about how to make the healthcare system work, get our economy moving for the middle class, or improve education.
    Just attacks -- on Barak and volunteers and working families. What the McCain attack squad doesn't understand is that ordinary people -- who devote part of their busy lives to organizing and building their communities -- have the power to change this country.

    What a wasteful topic to post. This just goes to show that some journalist are always trying to create the next big story by trying to confuse the American people. This article is not work tax payers dollars.

  • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/05/2008 10:41:24 AM

    It just shows Barak's LACK of Judgement!

    First he's friends with Terrorists - Ayers
    Then he's friends and goes to RACIST black church his entire adult life

    And yes his judgement was wrong about the SURGE in Iraq and he wants us to pull out when we're winning.
    And now THIS TOO. Wake up America!

    Not only is Obama an idiot (raising taxes during a recession that will affect EVERYBODY, we've already gone through the Jimmy Carter years and they were a disaster!), but he seems to associate with racists, people who HATE America (ministers and terrorists) and of course now this.

    Vote for Obama = You are a loser who have failed at everything you have personally done and now want WELFARE in the form of free health insurance and many of his other welfare policies.

    A vote for Obama is basically like saying YOU are a failure in life!

    It goes to show you what friends and allies Barack Hussien Obama has had for most of his life. Friends also like his pastor Jeremiah Write of 20yrs who G-- D-- America, and also the terrorist friend and Resko of his who he finally dissasociates from them as things are found out. I grew up with a saying, "You are who your friends are" so I was always careful as to who I surrounded myself with. I wonder what else he doesn't want us to find out about. What else is out there? I think he is a danger to our Presidential position by the use of his judgement calls.

    How dare anyone accuse Kilpatrick of breaking the law? He's black -- that automatically means he can do no wrong. Ask OJ....

    Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Barrack Obama will be all over this -- you'll see. Then, those racist prosecutors be asking for Kilpatrick's forgiveness and blessing....

    Comment: Davieboy...the above article is directly from Sun Times...TRY paragraph 2. As for the BarackStar...IF you followed the trial closely(I did) Rezko sent a letter to the Judge...complaining about Fitzgerald(Prosecutor) trying to force him, to implicate Obama and the Gov.

    Since his conviction...it appears he is ready to deal. If that is the case...Obama is toast. Fitzgerald wants Hussein...he knows him and MicHELLe are both involved in the hospital scam......a small side note....the Judge who reset for week before election, is a former Ken Starr associate.

    Davie...you come across as very bright. Open your eyes. It is very apparent. Hussein is a crook and a fraud.

    NOBAMA!!!

    -----------------------------

    "Appears"? Where is your brilliant evidence?

    • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 09/05/2008 10:25:23 AM

      EVIDENCE??? have you got a screw loose??? raddave said Hussein was NOT mentioned in the article. YES HE IS. Also, IF you know how to research...the letter from Rezko to the Judge is readily available. I'm sure you would still support The False One regardless. It is really sad. The country has a choice...A man of character and honor in John McCain...OR...A character who honors crooks and frauds, in Hussein Obama. He is a joke.

      NOBAMA!!!

  • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 09/05/2008 10:19:59 AM

    Here is an update on ANOTHER BarackStar buddy....wonder if Hussein looks cute in an orange jumpsuit.

    UH OH....looks like HolyRoller was right again.....wonder what the BarackStar is thinking right now??

    Is Rezko working with the feds?
    SOURCES: | He's been back at courthouse numerous times

    August 28, 2008 Chicago Sun Times

    "As his sentencing nears, pressure is mounting on Tony Rezko to cooperate with federal investigations into some of the highest-profile politicians in the state -- including Gov. Blagojevich.

    Two more trials -- one in Chicago next spring, one in Las Vegas -- hover over the Wilmette businessman and onetime prolific political fund-raiser for the governor and BARACK OBAMA.

    Tony Rezko was inside the federal courthouse as recently as Aug. 14, sources for the Sun Times say.

    Now, sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times that Rezko has been seen at the federal courthouse as many as a dozen times since his June conviction. He's been held since then at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago.

    Rezko hasn't had to be back in court since a jury convicted him of corruption charges involving state deals. And his scheduled Sept. 3 sentencing was recently pushed back to Oct. 28".....ONE WEEK BEFORE ELECTION....hmmm...just a coincidence???

    WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM FOT TONY = FEDERAL CHARGES FOR HUSSEIN

    I told ya'll this months ago.....Hussein Obama IS A CROOK AND A FRAUD.

    NOBAMA!!!

    So AIP has you concerned!!! It should!!! Alaska is total proof that our federal government should leave them alone. Alaska has our richest natural resources and the deso's keep saying no you can't drill here, no you can't mine there, no you can't log here and once they have drawn their line in the sand, it is a waste of all taxpayer dollars to try to change it back as you then will have people winging urine and crap at the politicians who know better than the usual liberal. Alaska has been treated so prejidousely by the party who brags equal right prowess. Hmm why have we taken all the native lands for ourselves and declared them off limits for Alaskan's use. AIP is a group who has recognized Washington's desire to steal Alaska's riches. By the way this is just your statement but they could have been doing the service to the Alaskan people by meeting the AIP and seeing their issues. Kind of like the presidents who met with groups who marched on Washington. We need to let Alaska do what Palin says they want to do, make some money saving America from its energy crisis. Win Win

    This is the dumbest logic ever from Newsweek. What say you of those who voted G.W. Bush in for a second term? Should all of them be held accountable for his failures or should BUSH himself be held accountable. McCain actually endorsed and campaigned for BUSH. Voted with him over 90% of the time so he's significantly has more liability in BUSHES failures. Obama has absolutely no culpability in the decisions Kilpatric has made or his failures as mayor. This logic is beyond dumb.

  • Posted By: SAGG @ 09/05/2008 10:18:04 AM

    The mayor did himself in. Period. Obama simply stated his support when he thought the mayor was okay. Period. If some people want to seek a link, that's their perrogative. Bush certainly wasn't hurt when he and Abramoff exchanged some greetings in the Oval office. If you guys want to add fuel to Obama's detractors on this board, then all I can say is that's your business, and I disagree.

  • Posted By: NEW GENERATION @ 09/05/2008 10:17:10 AM

    Why should Obama be held responsible for the actions of another person. He is no more accountable for Kilpatrick's criminal actions than Sarah Palin is responsible for her 17 year daughter's decision to have unprotected sex. Obama did not know Kwame Kilpatrick had committed criminal actions when he made the statement 16 months ago. Why is Obama held responsible for every black males indiscretions, criminal actions, bad choices, and comments etc.......Certain people are looking for anything or reasons to make Obama look bad. Every man should stand on his own merits.

  • Posted By: joniscream @ 09/05/2008 9:49:24 AM

    You are what you eat. Obama is a gangsta just like his boy Kwame Kilpatrick. Ask him no questions, and he will tell you no lies. I heard on the blogs that if Obama looses some brothers will be burning their hoods. Is there an address for gasoline donations.

    Another Obama buddy thrown under the bus! Kwame will join his racist preacher, his Marxist priest, his unrepentant terrorist pal, and even his own grandmother. Getting pretty crowded under there. But, I'm sure there will be others. For example, Marion Barry should also be jettisoned because the druggie mayor has also endorsed Obama. It's hard to believe that the Democratic Party actually nominated this guy.
