Yeah, but he was fun to watch when he was ripping Der Shrub out a new one.

Unfortunately, even the most limber and imaginative acrobatic act becomes old hat after a time.

Wasn’t Alxlerod quoted as saying Obama would be sold on image?

Almost (emphasis mine):

Axelrod’s is a less grand, postideological approach, and his campaigns are rooted less in issues than in the particulars of his candidate’s life. For him, running campaigns hitched to personality rather than ideology is a way of reclaiming fleeting authenticity.

All of us sane, rational people happen to know that Jesus was Jewish.

I thought he was English.

I’m kidding.

Isn’t that convenient.

I’m glad he gets it.

All those little criminals thinking an obtuse bribe would somehow hide the crime, protecting them, was pretty simplistic.

Actually two infographics 1) diagram the Crown family to Maytag 2) diagram

The Crown family is also connected to Talat Othman, he of the suspected Arab-Chicago-Baghdad-Bush consortium.

I believe rezkowatch.blogspot.com wrote about this.

Muckety should do an interactive map about the Obama/Arab/Chicago corruption ring, it would make all this so much easier.

I have read several times that Michelle often complains about how hard she and Barack have had it financially, especially since they had loans to those high class Ivy League schools to pay off.

Rather than whining, WTH doesn’t she do something about it, like Clinton?

We NEED to invest in the education of our kids, hands down, it keeps this country competitive, you cannot neglect the educational infrastructure, or it’s New Orleans, all over again, for the education infrastructure, we must invest in something other than General Dynamics.

The US won’t survive if children aren’t educated to remain competitive, systems are not static, right?

Conversely , we shouldn’t chain them to usury interest rates, simply because Cheney, or Obama’s corporate donors have cash to spread around Washington, spiking the votes( like the clap, apparently, talk about your elite hookers).

But she should DO something, WTH didn’t obama introduce legislation, like Clinton did, to control the interest rates on college loans?

Because he took a bribe from a corporate donor, I bet…

Olberman to Hillary “you are still awash in this filth”

Olberman has lost it

Olbermann never had it to begin with. He’s just an embarrassment.

It’s falling apart, they have no where to go, as any highlight of his record bespeaks corruption.

I was watching a youtube video from Carol Marin, a local Chicago reporter, regarding Obama’s Rezko’s connection. The last part of the video saw Obama scampering away in a black SUV, avoiding reporters questions, while in Chicago.

We seem to have two sets of press; those in Chicago who advocate for the people, and the rest, no better than “A list bloggers,” like Kos, yellow journalists.

You would not know the Obama in the blogs is the same Obama being dogged by Chicago reporters for his corruption.

If the national press would do it’s job like the Chicago press, this would already be a Clinton-McCain contest.

Obama’s politically expedient ethics conversions. Earmarks latest example.

Sen. Barack Obama, who had been declining to reveal earmarks he requested in 2005 and 2006, finally did so Thursday and probably would prefer the story to be about how his campaign challenged Democratic presidential rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, to do the same for her entire Senate tenure.

Instead, since I have some reporting history here, I am noting a pattern that has emerged: This is Obama’s third ethical conversion of convenience — taking on a higher standard, but only when it appears to be politically expedient. Obama is making government transparency and ethics a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.

The Obama record

I have read several times that Michelle often complains about how hard she and Barack have had it financially, especially since they had loans to those high class Ivy League schools to pay off. Funny, my kids choose to go to good state schools rather than take on huge loans, but now they should feel sorry for and Barack Michelle.

When the Obamas decided they just had to live in a mansion that they could not afford, did they lower their sights like normal, responsible people and find a place that fit their budget? Heck no. They sought help from a man under investigation from the Feds for corruption. I can just hear Michelle telling Barack that she just could not survive any longer in a less grand abode. She comes across as a diva who feels that she is entitled to the best whether she can afford it or not. Both Barack and Michelle seem to believe they are entitled to things - whether it is a mansion or the presidency -without waiting until they have made the necessary preparations that are expected of other people. It is this sense of entitlement that underlies the Obamas’ hubris and is his Achilles’ heel.

Ethics is as much about avoiding appearance of conflict-of-interest as anything else.

Indeed those are the ethics rules in the Senate&House as well as rules for judges and I presume the executive.

So much for “change we can believe in” …Ah, I get it now….The “we” refers to Barack and Michelle.

He’s made so many requests, it’s going to take a while to track it down.
