Oh for Pete sakes! Obama let all the reporters from two major Chicago newspapers grill him on this until they had asked everything they wanted to--three hours. Their conclusion was that he passed the clean test. But the bigger point would be that the Clintons would have to pass the same test. Hillary was the only first lady ever criminally investigated and Bill was disbarred for lying under oath. Their administration became famous because more people connected to it were indicted then any presidential administration ever. And then there's that thing where Bill pardoned Marc Rich and it just happened that his wife donated $450,000 to the Clinton library and $100,000 to Hillary's senate campaign. Also, on April 24,2008 the Clintons are ordered to appear in California Superior Court on charges of fraud. And that's just the tip of the Clinton iceberg. Obama has done nothing wrong. And his connections are squeaky clean in comparison.

John Kerry had gotten all but disqualified because he made one controversial statement over the Iraq war. Barack Obama has been caught in so many bold faced lies and He surrounds himself with everyone who hates America, the very country He is hoping to run. By the same standard that Kerry was driven out of the primary, Shouldn't he have been gone, like.................... months ago?

OBAMA is ARROGANT because his RHETORIC is very good. He is ELITIST because of his Harvard-trained lawyer background and the new rich status. He became a NEW RICH with an INCOME OF $1,400,000 in six years, but he was very stingy in giving to CHARITIES LESS THAN 1%. He seems to looks down to the people that did not accomplish as much as him. He better read the Bible to understand that in the EYES of GOD, WE ALL ARE PRECIOUS and we all will be rewarded according to our relationship with God, never because of intelligence, college degree , fame or economic position.
Hillary made $100,000,000 in six years and gave $10,000,000 (1/3) OF HER INCOME TO CHARITIES. She is not arrogant she is a giver a CHAMPION PROTECTING CHILDREN, FAMILY AND WOMEN RIGHTS.
"It’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." –OBAMA - PENSYLVANIA

I f Obama is elected as president,his first act will be to pardon his old freind Rezko.

Obama apparently was the only one in Chicago who was too naive to recognize what the term "Fixer" meant - a name given to Rezko. Chicago Suntimes reported on March 15, 2008 Obama still counted Rezko as a friend.
There may be Rezko recommended people on Obama's campaign staff. His campaing manager said its possible.
Friend Ali Abunimah says Obama is pro-palestinian but is courting the Jewish vote so has to go along with mainstream thinking on Israel.
Bill Ayers - is not repentant over his terrorist past with the Weather Underground and has made several appearances with Obama since writing memoirs in (2001 I believe)
Lots more friends I'm sure - like Willian Said, Rashid Khalidi
Obama's remarks: "bitter and clinging to religion" has a Marxist ring to it --"Religion is the opiate of the masses."

Many public officials are required to report if they are associating with felonious and questionable characters. Obama does not need to meet this requirement, but Hillary does. This seems unfair.
Obama may character ize his own Ganma as a typical , white gramdmother who is afraid of black men, but we of the white majority may not characterize as this is 'profiling' and bigotry.
I am proud of my parents, but Obama may skirt the issue of whether his wife, mother, bioloical father , step father are proAmerican or Pro USA. A google search raises issues as well as Michelle's own statement.
Hey , just bacause Hillary is white doesn't mean that the media should or should not give her the same breaks that the media gives to Obama.

To use one of Obama's own phrases, his poor judgement, and acting like a deer in headlights as if he's hearing that his pastor, his close friend and other associates bad words and deeds are calling his judgement into question is an insideous pattern.
BTW, I couldn't help but think of Rev. Wright's Trinity church and how Obama's words of "antipathy towards others not like them," was just as applicable.

Could Barack Obama have worked so closely with terrorist Bill Ayres (google Obama terrorist bill ayres), Tony Rezko, and Jeremiah Wright and known nothing of their activities? People, this isn't rocket science.

Nicole of OH 12:57PM April 14, 2008

I just can't understand why people support Obama. It makes no sense and it is very shocking to me. He seems like a little boy who keeps getting caught with his bad judgement. Why would people vote for him? That's is why if he wins the nomination, McCain will surely win and I must admit, I will vote for McCain.
