Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting

Yes lets vote for McCain he has history in deregulating the banks and causing financial crisis. John McCain was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee for the Keating 5 Savings and Loans scandal, but the ultimate cost of the crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion.

The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules. And in both cases, John McCain's judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history

obama and the democrats are pawns to their special interest groups - the trail lawers, thug unions, as well as foreign supporters who would like to see America decline. democrats would like to hide this story as well as obama's ties with ayers, rezko, and wright, etc. and concentrate on other candidates pregnant daughters as can be seen by the vicious comments by them regarding any story that isn't pro obama.

Atlas Shrugs investigated & broke this story weeks ago. You forgot to mention that the Obama campaign actually did ship those t-shirts to those brothers in Gaza. So, if they thought Ga. meant Georgia, why did they ship them to Gaza?

Isikoff is says on MSNBC that Obama campaign contributors under $200 are not report. Always fact check a repugnant republican go to Federal election commission and you'll see everyones name who's donated to include thousands of names with under $200 dollar donation to the Obama Campaign including mine when I donated via the internet. One thing the republicans are good at are misinforming the electorate, to get a vote. Free your minds America, Free your minds and fact check the propaganda machines republican and democrats.

How very irresponsible of Isikoff and Newsweek to write/publish such an imbalanced and obviously partisan biased article without stating the fact that the McCain campaign has raised less money in total via the internet but actually has a higher number of unidentified donations. Isikoff dodged direct questions on the subject on MSNBC's Morning Joe. You've lost a subscriber and I will spread the word.

Isikoff--get a life!!!!!! You blew it on morning joe--do an article on something with some substance that we can really use like the Keating 5 (very relevant to what is going on today) Your definitely overpaid!!

Q. How many republicans does it take to change a light bulb
A. Does it have to be light bulb.

Q. How many Mccain supporters does it take to change a light bulb
A. Does it have to be a light bulb.

How many liberals does it take to change a light bulb?
None, as they taxed all companies into nonexistence, regulated them into prison and then convinced the illiterate masses they didn't need light as this was "change" and "hoped" that they would join them in the new darkness. yeilraven is a typically economically challenged, dumbed down liberal whose purpose in life is to blame everyone else for their own poor decisions which is indicative of their inability to logically and rationally think through a problem. Lastly, it was the dummycrats that propped up fannie and freddie when they were trying to be reined in. Oh, is that raines and johnson advising odummer about economics??!! Aren't they the 2 crooks that received millions in bonuses for passing these bad loans??!! Didn't the justice department enforce these high risk quotas or threaten litigation and cutting businesses off from making loans??!! Didn't mean to trouble you with the truth the press keeps burying under their sycophantic love fest for quawak insane odrama!

This should be investigated. Other countries have no business giving money to a US candidate for President. We need to ask why Iran's President, as well as others have said they wanted Obama to become president.

Obama???s ???Good Will??? Hunting

I read with great interest your article ???Obama???s ???Good Will??? Hunting??? published in the on-line edition of Newsweek.
I believe that honest and transparent fundraising practices are fundamental for an honest and transparent political system.
I find it appalling however that it is the RNC that is questioning the fundraising practices of the Democratic ticket. It is my firm belief that the fundraising practice of Mr. Obama is a fine example of honest ???nickel and dime??? grass roots politics, and, in fact, it is the RNC???s practice of accepting huge donations from special interests lobbyists that should be brought immediately before the FEC.
Together with the FEC, we should examine closely how the RNC plans to pay back those special interest ???loans???.
Paying back loans seem to be something they are very interested in these days.

I believe the interogation is being backed by RNC Chief Counsel Sean Cairncross.

Well, let me tell Mr. Cairncross an interesting story.

I am an American Citizen, (born in the US - 7th generation Californian) but currently living in Italy. I am a registered voter, and I consider my right to vote a great honor and privilege. Although I am living abroad at the moment, I vote with pride and love for America, and this year especially, I pass hours each day catching up on the campaign by reading the major national newspapers as well as blogs from both the right and left. Well guess what Mr. Cairncross? I have been unable to donate money to the Democratic party! I have tried in vain numerous times to donate money to the campaign of Mr. Obama, but it was refused due to the fact that my bank account is not in the US.
I have written numerous time to various institutions attempting to donate 25 US dollars in any manner possible and to receive a T-Shirt but my donation has been refused. Maybe other Americans who don???t have a bank account in the US have been more successful in their attempt to donate money to their candidate of choice, I don???t know, but my attempts have been unsuccessful. My experience is that the Obama campaign is doing everything possible to accept money only from US citizens, who are in the US, with bank accounts in the US, from the grass roots up.
If this practice is unacceptable to Mr. Cairncross and his lobbyist millionaire friends, I would be interested to know why! Mr. Cairncross, lets get back to the problems at hand, lets get back to taking care of our country, to its future, to its politics, and not the ???RNC politics as usual??? that has decimated our great land.

And Mr. Cairncross, please move forward with your investigation if that is what you choose to do, and if you find a a way I can contribute, please let me know.

Couldn't aree with you more, Leemart! I have no idea what bigdadred is complaing about. I am still astounded that Newsweak, NBC, MCNBC, ABC, CBS, ETC.,. are called "mainstream"!! Well, guess what. McCain is going to win, regardless of what the "mainstream press" has to say.

I suggest all Americans read the Canadian perspective on our Democratic nominee (it will surprise you): www.candafreepress.com/index.php/article/5365

To bigdadred: Let me get this right. It doesn't bother you at all that MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, NBC and CBS all lean heavily to the LEFT? Only FOX tends to lean a bit to the right. If you think that you can "look to the other networks for fair and accurate news coverage" you have the mentality of a fireplug! Listen to whichever slanted network turns you on, but don't you dare try to single out FOX as being the only immoral and unethical "news" network. There is absolutely no honor or truth in the media!
