    Gee... where is the media outrage in all this? I don't see anyone here accusing BO of being beholden to fatcat donations, especially in light of what happened on Wall Street. In fact, I don't see anyone criticizing him at all regardless what he does.

    Think about it, a credit card company requires the name/address match the individual utilizing the card. No way could those charges have been on a credit card as the charges would never have been approved by the credit card company with the names indicated as used by the contributor. There is alot of illegal activity by the Obama campaign and they spin each item to make it seem they are innocent etc. The American people as a whole are smarter than that. God help us if Obama becomes President. The change we will experience is less $$ in our pockets, terrorists being tried and released in large percentages in our court system, loss of our freedoms - especially freedom of speech (everytime the truth comes out about Obama - he sends his cronnies to shut up/threaten his oposition), he is for gun control and the list goes on. I pray America will wake up to the kind of change he is for and it is not pretty.

    All you Obamabots: just forget about Keating 5, not only was McCain absolved of any wrongdoing, Obama knows the charge is false, that's why Obama has another K5 guy (J. Glenn) stumping for him. On the other hand, y'all can talk K5 all you want after you admit that Obama has a long history of seeking out racist, America hating radicals, and even now is working with ACORN - a group eyeball deep in causing the financial crisis, and currently under investigation on election fraud charges (again!).

    The wierd thing too is that they are trying to pawn him off as being black when he is half white, and arab. Hes only about 6% black. His name is arab.

  • Posted By: Anais @ 10/06/2008 11:46:42 AM

    I just hope its not too late, because all this information is just now starting to surface. I hope people make the right choice in Nov.. I cant believe with his connections that he has come this far.
    Obama and his foreign funders are buying this race, literally. Its sad that we are allowing this. Why do u think he's hitting the colleges. Kids dont really know the issues, so they vote for the younger guy that talks smooth and seems to have progressive ideas. Little do they know that by the time they are older and wiser, it will be too late. Say hello to socialism.

    How about the Berg vs. Obama lawsuit in Philadelphia Federal Court? Why would Obama file a Motion to Dismiss at the last moment, rather than simply providing the documents requested as proof of his eligibility. Just seems strange to me.

    • Posted By: Anais @ 10/06/2008 11:44:15 AM

      Thats exactly what everyone is saying. Whats the secrecy by hiding his records from his college days, not making any of his younger friends known; if he was innocent, he would be willing to dismiss all doubt by putting it out there. McCain has given his tax records, donors list, whatever hes been asked to do, hes submitted everything. And I might say, Hillary Clinton, as well. Hillary said that on all the sites for donors, there is a place where you have to say where you citizenship lies, and if you live aboard, you have to fax proof of your citizenship before they accept donors. This way they can be vetted. On Obama's site, any foreigner can donate without giving this information, thats why they are having a hard time tracing many donors. very suspicious

      Seems to me, that all he would have to do, would be to hold a press conference in Hawaii at the Registrars Office and apply for a duplicate Birth Certificate and show everyone this important document, but it is too much for him.
      As with Clinton and his medical records, Kerry and his military records, Obama won't even furnish his Birth Certificate or his medical records. Why is that?

  • Posted By: navel @ 10/06/2008 11:40:04 AM

    Please AMERICA wake up. There is far too much unknown about Obama and Michelle. You can't get the info because then you are called racist. It's a catch 22 with him, that's why he beat Hillary and why he is leading now. But honestly do we want this unknown in our WH, of course we don't. He has far too any connections with foreign terrorists he calls friends, has written books on racism, wont release his college thesis or Michelles until after the election, so that speaks volumes. But we can make the difference here and vote republican. I know it's not the ideal candidate either, but McCain is a much safer choice for America. I work in NYC and never want to live thru another 911, and it seems we will be feeding the radical muslims as they can't wait for obama to get elected. Save the country, we deserve it.

    One more thing, SMALLNARROWMINDED...
    You ask: Why in particular do working class and rural Americans usually vote for pro-business Republicans when their economic interests would seem better served by Democratic policies?

    Watch your assumptions. I am working class, and rural (at least I used to be, now everything has been developed and paved by Democratic state leaders developing businesses that import products from China). However, when you say pro-business you assume all business is wall-street sized. What about small mom-and-pop businesses? My dad owned a diner, my sig. other owns a publishing co., I hope to start my own biz next year, and my sister had her own therapy biz. So, your assumption that all pro-biz interests are detrimental to the working class negates all the working class businesses in America. And, guess what? Being a small, independent business.... Democratic economic principles would kill us. We are not so profitable as to be able to provide everyone healthcare ($7000 per year per person!), or to be able to pay more taxes (we already pay taxes in our municipality on GROSS, not NET profit, as well as state and sales taxes), we cannot survive Democratic economic principles of give away, give away, give away to those who don't produce or don't work.

    Psychological diagnosis: conservatism is a partially heritable personality trait ...( my whole family is Democratic.... so was I until this year... so how does your 'heritable personality trait' address that?)
    that predisposes some people to be cognitively inflexible, fond of hierarchy (I'm really not any of these... I'm not inflexible at all, I have spent my whole life challenging the hierarchy of power--i.e. racism, sexism)
    Its not your fault that you've inherited narrow minds (thanks for your gracious forgiveness as you denounce and judge us)
    and can't tolerate other belief systems (my favorite area of study was other cultures, religions, societies)
    At some time in life you may want to decide if your racism, bigotry, hatred and intolerance (Maybe you should look in the mirror here. I don't think you have the power or the right to judge another whom you have never met... again, I've spent my life fighting racism and sexism.... I've spent my time, my energy, and my emotional energy helping our Black community and it's people. Many of my friends are there, and I know first hand the obstacles they face, the agencies within their own community that destroy their spirits--drugs, gangs, alcohol, crime, social restrictions, poverty, educational obstacles, etc., etc.,etc.)

    serves any purpose and would Christ be this way...so are you truly Christian... (I can't answer that. Can you?)

      I was raised in a very liberal home. I escaped in my twenties. Old saying: "If you are not a liberal when you are 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative by time you are 30, you have no brains.:="

    "The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."
    What is lost on Ms. Obama is that history has shown that you cannot force people to produce the pie in the first place.
    Most Americans, she said, don't want much.
    "They don't want the whole pie," she told the women. "There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach."
    So let Michelle cut the pie and feel blessed should she allow you to thrive a little bit.

    You cant compare Obama to McCain ........... McCain is a typical politician, Obama is running a campaign that is funded by terrorists. I hope people wake up and realize whats at stake here before its too late. AND what about Michelle Obama, shes been quietly going around holding meetings with women and guess what ..... SHES TEACHING SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES. LISTEN TO THIS ..................

    Yeah I know McCain cant possibly be naive, but Obama palling around with known terrorists and radical pastors who DESPISES WHITE PEOPLE is well what do u call that? What about other connections that obama has that teach people that God says its ok to kill white people and americans, take their skin off, cut their ears, whatever, God says its ok. WOW Never before has a candidate been so far left radical and so controversial.

  • Posted By: Anais @ 10/06/2008 11:20:18 AM

    Good post Skichief ........... See this is the difference between McCain and Obama. McCain was dragged into the Keating mess by democrats for political reasons. HE WAS FOUND INNOCENT. He has been honest with the public, submitting all files, donors, taxes, everything. HE IS AN OPEN BOOK. Obama will not even release his college thesis for us to read. He just denies all the allegations. TOO MANY QUESTIONS about his secret life. Remember after 9/11, one of the terrorists leader made a video, and said that they dont need to bomb America anymore, they will infiltrate it from within. OBAMA IS THEIR MAN.

      Obama is a terrorist???? Have you reported him to the proper athorities as you must do as a good American? If not, your words mean nothing.

    A British diplomat tells Prime Minister Brown to be wary of Barack Obama.

    Britain's ambassador to Washington has called Barack Obama "uninspiring" and "decidedly liberal."
    The Daily Telegraph newspaper reports Sir Nigel Sheinwald wrote Prime Minister Gordon Brown a seven-page letter in July shortly before Obama's visit to London. The letter was leaked to the press reading, "He can talk too dispassionately... about issues which touch people personally, for example his notorious San Francisco comments about small town Pennsylvania 'clinging' to guns and religion."
    Sheinwald also expressed concern about Obama's stance on Iran, saying, "We will need to consider with him the articulation between (a) his desire for 'unconditional' dialogue with Iran and (b) our and the United Nations Security Council's requirement of prior suspension of enrichment before the nuclear negotiations proper can begin."

    Americans should think, read, follow the trail and follow the money trail, then think again.
    With the baggage Senator Obama is carrying - in most communities - he would not even make it onto the town council. The Dems have given us a plate full of a questionable candidate raising many questions - and "we the people" should not swallow this - Obama is wrong on every issue important to America and Americans.
    Don't let the far left walk that dish right into the White House - read, follow the trail, think, and read more and make the decision that is right for our country - COUNTRY FIRST.
