And Obama calls himself an organizer. If he had odne organizing for anything but political expediency he would have been on the ground with the First Responders as they are now called.

I was proud.

And I’m no longer going by the name simon, I’m requiem for a dancer, one who has passed away.

Sorry, I guess I forgot to tell you.

I heard Mr. Lee Beaulac talk about rural America. Senator Hillary Clinton is his senator. As such, he was able to discuss some of the things this one, yes, singular Senator did for the Finger Lakes region of New York. Here is his bio:

Lee Beaulac is one of the Fannie Mae Foundation’s 2004 James A. Johnson Fellows. He is senior vice president of Housing and Economic Development at Rural Opportunities, Inc. (ROI). On Mr. Beaulac’s watch, ROI has developed and preserved more than 6,000 units of housing and helped more than 2,000 families become first-time home buyers in rural areas of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, and Puerto Rico.

There were many folks who sold handcrafted items from their own front doors. They did not make much money at it. And they really wanted an avenue for making more money from their American made products.

Senator Clinton listened to the people and Mr. Beaulac. She made a couple of phone calls, one to the CEO of e-bay. ebay formed a group at their site for these entrepreneurs and now the American made products are sold around the world. As a result of this more than half a billion dollars are now pouring into the area.

It did not end there though. There are more than 100 wineries in the Finger Lake Region. Out of the clear blue sky they no longer were able to get business loans because banks in the area stopped giving agricultural loans. Again Senator Clinton stepped in and the wineries began to access agricultral loans again. Out of this need for loans a new bank was formed, The Bank of the Finger Lakes. Their mission is to support rural America by providing agricultural loans.

Please tell me again one senator can’t make things happen.
Now I will share my story of one senator who has made a difference in my life. I was in a women’s group at a Vet Center in KS. Many things happened at that Vet Center but perhaps the biggest one was the fact I was being abused by a therapist. I was not improving. Many days I came home from that group in tears. Another thing happened in 2004 that caused me to end up at the VA Medical Center in a full blown anxiety attack. I wrote a complaint against the therapist who was at the root of everything and nothing happened.

I went to Senator Sam Brownbacl’s office. I wrote up the narrative of the goings on for most of 2004. His aide took it and ran with it. A few weeks later, two investigators from other parts of the country came and interviewed me as well as many others including the staff of the Vet Center. In short, the therapist who was at the heart of the my “not” getting well waS FIRED.

Now tell me again one senator can’t make a difference.
I just showed you two.

Seems all you Obama folks miss the points..Obama lied about Rezko..he also lied about how much money he got from him..

Hillary gave back the HSU money immediately when she was made aware of it..it took months and months for Obama to donate to charity all the money Rezko gave him to front his campaign..$250,000 worth..but he did it drip by drip..and gave it away in increments!

and Lied about it to boot!

but you just keep ignoring Obama’s money from Hsu..like good little sheeple do!!

Obama cosponsored another bill earlier this year to declare the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. But the measure that passed was objectionable, he wrote in the Union Leader, because it included 17 findings about Iran’s participation in the violence in Iraq, and deems avoiding Iranian influence in Iraq “a critical national interest” of the United States.

Therefore, he argued, the Bush administration could use the measure to justify an attack on Iran as part of the war already underway in Iraq.

Ph, Hillary’s vote was nonbinding, and removed any basis for military justification, placing any action under review and vote from Congress re: attacks on Iran.

Obama didn’t show up to vote for it.

“It’s unfortunate that Senator Obama is abandoning the politics of hope and embracing the same old attack politics even though one of his earliest and most vigorous supporters has said this was not a vote for war,” spokesman Phil Singer said in a statement yesterday. “If Senator Obama felt so strongly about this resolution, why didn’t he speak out against it or vote against it?”

The reason why he didn’t is what Obama himself would call “an okie-doak, a hoodwink, he bamboozled” his own followers.

Obamamboozled you, as it were.
