    The republicans want there to me more of everything bad about Obama even when there just is NO MORE.

    Rezko is the perfect example and being as desperate as they are, and as they have in the past, they will try to fabricate, distort and lie which even some republicans are now getting fed up with.

    Rezco has been covered time and again showing Obama did NOTHING WRONG.

    You would think with the polls showing their negativity just not working and in fact actually having the opposite effect, that they would start talking issues.

    Nope. NOTHING FROM THE REPUBLICANS ON ISSUES, JUST MORE NEGATIVITY in the form of:

    FEAR, SMEAR, LIE, DISTORT and FABRICATION.

      You are mistaken. Operation BOARD GAMES is divided into three separate investigations,with two trials in Chicago and one in Las Vegas that have not even seen Phase II commence yet,any or all of which that can implicate Obama,especially the ''Blagojevich portion''of the next trial expected to begin in Jan.09.[at a minimum,Blago will be the next head to roll]. As the expected Obama USAG is going to probably be Eric Holder,carefully observe how the USAGs office conducts the next two investigations. Will evidence aimed at Obama be ''disappeared''? Will the office act on an Obama implication by a trial defendant? What is Tony Rezko now telling US attorneys in Chicago?

      These are neither ''smears, ''lies'' ''distortions''or ''fabrications'',as we have seen in just the little I have already amassed on Obama and his ties to Tony Rezko and those of Obamas associates. Obviously,political corruption IS an ''issue''. Just as obviously,if you were truly ''tired of lies'',you would demand that the investigations and trials continue to take their full ,umimpeded course no matter what it may mean for Obama.

    (Part 1 of 3) - OBAMAS CHOSEN RADICAL PEOPLE HE WAS COMFORTABLE SURROUNDING HIMSELF AMONG OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS:

    For those in doubt, here is just a sampling of Obamas long list of radical choices of people (unapologetic Washington and/or PLO terrorists, hateful anti-America pastors, radical spiritual mentors. . .one being like an uncle to him, etc). . . . All of which he felt comfortable surrounding himself among. . . starting out way back in his pre-teen days in Hawaii (Frank Marshal Davis) until he went off to college and then law school. Afterwards, during his community organizer years, and in his campaigning years for Illinios Senator . . . the years on the South Side of Chicago building relationships with an array of radical people and groups (e.g. ACORN) and people back then that included many that were part of corrupt Mayor Daley???s Chicago Political Machine):

    * FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS (infamous pro-Soviet Communist Party member who was a mentor to Obama in his earlier days - from age 9 or 10 to 18 yrs old - until he left to go off to college). Davis sent Obama off to college and later Barack would admit that he attended socialist conferences and picked Marxist professors as his friends. http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2008/09/obamas-communist-mentor-frank-marshall.html

    * RASHID KHALIDI (former PLO terrorist): http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/04/obama-bomber-ayers-partied-with-former.html

    * BILL AYERS (Washington unapologetic terrorist): Colleague and friend of Barack and Michelle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_h-XwchkY

    * BERNADINE DORHN (Washington unapologetic terrorist): Bill Ayers wife and friend and colleague of Michelle (same law firm they worked at) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxRi4gfupi8

    * LOUIS FARRAKHAN (radical Islam, Racist): Obamas church honored this guy with an award; he also endorsed Obama (albeit he denounced him).

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are

      You are being hysterical. Actually,what ''damage''to kids we have already seen eminates from the Obama camp,with their brainwashing of children too young to formulate critical dissemination of policy yet used as obscene fascist and communist-like tools by their partisan elders for the purposes of spreading propaganda in kids as young as five and six years old. [YOUTUBE,for the roundup of the Obama ''Jugend'' videos that have kids being used in an anti-McCain video on rape,''banned books''[now proven false rumours spread by the leftwing portion of the Internet by FACTCHECK], healthcare and even foreign policy by those still playing with Barbie dolls,the Obama childrens ''singalong''in Venice,Ca. orchestrated by leftwinged adults,and the Chicago martial-arts ''Hip-hop for Obama'' being performed by minor-aged children.

      ''Obama will lead us,

      And we will follow''

      [Lyrics from Venice,Ca. song performed by elementary school children].

      This,is the true measure of ''damage''and utter exploitation. The ''Boys From Brazil'',if one will.

    Comment: People on these bogs are fond of saying that the current economic meltdown was caused by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwriting bad mortgages. While Fannie and Freddie obviously are guilty of writing bad mortgages, and worse, guilty of lobbying Congress to allow them to do so with impunity, their actions are just a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to determining who (or what) caused the financial crisis we face today.

    In 1929 the stock market crash caused the banks to fail, because the banks were in bed with the stock market. Back then, banks owned investment houses, so when the stock market fell, the banks fell too. This triggered the Great Depression. So in 1933 the Congress wrote laws that regulated banking, making it illegal for banks to own investment companies, mortgage guaranty companies or insurance companies. The idea was to keep key industries separated by a fire wall, so that if one industry failed the whole economy would not go down in flames.

    But the Republicans under Bush deregulated the banking industry. Senator Phil Gramm wrote legislation (the Gramm Rudman Act, the Gramm Leach Biley Act, etc.) that stripped away the regulations in the financial and insurance industies. He pushed them through the Republican Congress and they were signed into law by Geo. W. Bush. John McCain voted in favor. Everybody said how great it is to deregulate and create free markets.

    Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch each gave over a million dollars to Senator Gramm's re-election campaign.

    The economic collapse that happened later was a direct result of the deregulation, and here's how: the banks wrote bad mortgages, then bundled the mortgages into investment vehicles that they sold all over the world, and they even got firms like AIG to insure the investments. It was all a house of cards.

    If there had been no deregulation, sure we would have had a bunch of bad mortgages, and the mortgage guaranty and real estate industries would have suffered, but there would not have been a global financial meltdown, since the problem would have been contained in one sector of the economy. You can thank Geo W. Bush, Sen. Phil Gramm and Sen John McCain for the meltdown, since they were strong proponents of deregulation.

    Furthermore, although Fannie and Freddie are now holding the bulk of these bad mortgages, Fannie and Freddie did not originally write most of these mortgages. They bought them after the fact, bundled by banks/investment companies. Fannie and Freddie got screwed by the Wall Street fat cats. And so did you, if you pay taxes.

    What is Phil Gramm doing today? He works as a lobbyist in Washington, trying to make it legal for the Swiss bank he represents to sell Death Bonds in the United States. Nice guy, Phil Gramm. Incidentally, John McCain has said that he wants to appoint Phil Gramm as Treasury Secretary. Some people just can't learn from their mistakes.

    Comment: After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

    Pt.II

    On June 27,2003,Gov. Blagojevich signed into law the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act. This device would bring a nine-member board panel to oversee the administration of the states hospitals. Three of the members,Mike Malek,Fortunee Massuda,and Dr. Imad Alamanaseer,were all Rezko associates,and all three,were advanced by the bills author....

    State Sen.Barack H.Obama.

    Upon installation,all three immediately donated funds to Blagos re-election campaign,and Obamas for his US Senate run in 2004.

    All three are a portion of the Operation BOARD GAMES trial investigations now turning their attention to Gov.Blagojevich and all three are being investigated by the feds as a portion of their role as Obama overseas campaign money contributions recipients including those contributions from the Middle East and Libya.[unnoticed by either the AP or NEWSWEAK].


    Obama is running a crooked road. All of the branches of this road lead to Tony Rezko,and all lead back to the Expected One.

    There is nothing so disgusting than the media kowtowing to the lowest common denominator - especially when it's all about 'selling their papers'! Or is it? Perhaps we are seeing the pressure of the big money guns being brought to bear on a press that at least gave Sen. Obama equal time up until a few days ago. Now we are being inundated with all things McCain and the praise of Palin is enough to make a thinking person throw up. What does the 4th estate intendt? Don't they feel any shame for the 8 years we've suffered under the bush 'presidency'.....now they want to stick us with McCain and are participating in all his dirty tricks. They have no morals!

    The return of "Rezco"?????? Pretty well sums up the competance and professionalism of Newsweak! Remarkably, this article is typical democrat spin. The real news here in Chicago is the fact that RezKo(with a K) is singing like a canary. He's looking at max 20 years now there is another trial waiting which could add 20 more. Feds are already investigating real estate commissions paid to Gov. Blojobs wife by a firm which amazingly went from a pittance to over a million in State business. She also got fat comissions from deals with Rezko (with a K). The messiah won't be far behind. I kinda hope M T Suit wins the election so we can enjoy a second consecutive democrat President taking time off from "America's Business" to testify before a grand jury.

    McCain has absolutely nothing constructive to say about how he would resolve the economic crisis, so he resorts to character assassination in order to keep his name in the news. And as his credibility as a viable candidate plummets, he becomes more and more desperate and irrational. Meanwhile, Palin is more than happy to do his bidding. Since she lacks a conscience, she has no reservations about piling on the slime.

    However, the polls tell the tale. Their campaign has become a joke, Palin is a caricature and fodder for late night comedy acts, and McCain has reduced himself to a bitter, old man with nothing but vitriol to offer the American people. How sad...

    This house nonsense is a distraction. Obama's real problem is highlighted by the hospital board related subpoenas issued by Fitzgerald this week. Obama, as a state senator, carried the legislation in 2003 in order to make sure that Rezko's pay to play system prevailed. Here is a part of Evelyn Pringle's "Curtain Time" series on Obama.

    Obama's information will have many more counts in it than Rezko's. Obama will be indicted for these activities under 18 USC 1346. It is irresponsible of Fitzgerald not to indict Obama right now, before the election. He has enough evidence, and indicting Obama as President-elect or President will have an unnecessarily disruptive effect.

    In any event, if you bother to look at Obama's activities chronologically, in his work as a state senator, you can see the large number of crimes he commited. Let's face it: he's just a pimp for the Syrian mafia. It's funny, everyone in Chicago knows this. What is America's problem?

    I've talked to some of these airhead Obama supporters: none of them have even heard of Rezko. These people are political dinosaurs--they're about to go extinct.

      "Let's face it: he's just a pimp for the Syrian mafia."

      This sentence boggles the mind.

    I hope people will forgive me if, after eight years of Halliburton, Blackwater, Diebold, and other various multi-BILLION dollar schemes, I can't be bothered to be outraged by Tony Rezko. You couldn't pay me enought to care about this.
