What I'm wondering though is how even Hitchens can spew that crap with a straight face. He must be banking on the fact that Obama supporters will believe just about anything. True.

He must be banking on the fact that Obama supporters will believe just about anything.

No, you won’t find this… not anymore. Obama has already “changed” everything. We will never have public financed elections ever again. We will never have a fair election press ever again. Welcome to corporate takeover “change”. We may never have the freedoms we have taken for granted if we are not careful.

It is Obama's chickens coming home to roost. He is going to find himself surrounded by self serving "politicians" who will "leak" and play to the press behind his back and undermine what little chance Obama had to be successful in office. Chicken karma. ;) Like the way the Hillary nomination was “leaked” to the press in an attempt to coerce Obama to pick her? It is Obama’s chickens coming home to roost.

Characterized as "the other side of Barack Obama's brain" by CBS News, Jarrett first met the Obamas seventeen years ago when she offered Michelle Obama a job. Since that time Jarrett has served as a very close advisor to both Obamas. While some have speculated that Jarrett is interested in taking Obama's place in the U.S. Senate, the New York Times reported that it is more likely she will become a senior White House adviser. And that is terrible news. Judicial Watch recently obtained documents linking Valerie Jarrett to a series of real estate scandals, including several housing projects operated by convicted felon and former Obama fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko. According to the documents, which we obtained from the Illinois Secretary of State, Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Antoin "Tony" Rezko and Allison Davis. (You may recall that Davis is also Obama's former boss.) Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that worked with Rezko and Davis. Jarrett wrote of her support for Davis/Rezko projects, and was also one of the strongest supporters in revitalizing two struggling Chicago banks which later provided loans and mortgages for the Davis/Rezko housing projects. And what sort of housing projects were Davis and Rezko operating? According to press reports, housing projects operated by Davis and Rezko have been substandard and beset with code violations. The Chicago Sun Times (web site) reported that one Rezko-managed housing project was "riddled with problems -- including squalid living conditions...lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers." Davis, meanwhile, was nailed for a code violation when sewage began to seep through electrical outlets in one of his low income apartment buildings. Of course, Jarrett would have no issues supporting these kinds of housing projects. As Chief Executive Officer of the Habitat Company, Jarrett managed a controversial housing project (web site) located in Obama's former state senate district called Grove Parc Plaza. According to the Boston Globe, the housing complex was considered "uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage...In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition." It is no stretch to say that she was a slumlord. Jarrett refused to comment on the conditions of the complex. Who is Valerie Jarrett?

These FACTS came out during testimony for the 911 Commission. Bush and his National Security Adviser Condi Rice ignored the intelligence brief saying Bin Laden was determined to attack the United States. The Bush Administration systematically ignore the warnings they received. Thank you Rob G. These FACTS came out during testimony for the 911 Commission.
