As of last week, Obama’s campaign reserves amounted to some $30 million following his successful ascension to the White House. But how the money might be used remains unclear.

He may need it to defend himself.

Does this sister know Michelle Obama?

Isn’t it so exciting that the filthy Chicago style of politics will be arriving in DC — to teach those poor ignorant folks how the game is REALLY played

AFAIK, Chicago has never taken the military to war, illegally.

But there’s always a first, right?

I suppose if the IL scandals get too close to oBama, and the rest, they can always go ballistic on Pakistan.

That would keep the public distracted for a few weeks.

Or not, everybody might be hip after Cheney.

; )

BaracK Who’s saying? Ohh BaMa

I am not someone to diss unions. I belong to a union of sorts, the NEA. There ARE good and bad things about unions as well has there are good an bad people in management/administration. Getting those factories in the South creates jobs where people actually make things.

OBAMA’S ‘MOB-TIE’ $IDEKICK
By CHARLES HURT Bureau Chief
September 5, 2007

WASHINGTON – A man who has long been dogged by charges that the bank his family owns helped finance a Chicago crime figure will host a Windy City fund-raiser tonight for Sen. Barack Obama.

Alexi Giannoulias, who became Illinois state treasurer last year after Obama vouched for him, has pledged to raise $100,000 for the senator’s Oval Office bid.

Before he promised to raise funds for Obama, Giannoulias bankrolled Michael “Jaws” Giorango, a Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution.

Giannoulias is so tainted by reputed mob links that several top Illinois Dems, including the state’s speaker of the House and party chairman, refused to endorse him even after he won the Democratic nomination with Obama’s help.

Giannoulias was the bank’s vice president and chief loan officer for most of the more than $15 million in loans.

He was not charged with breaking any laws. The Obama campaign disputed any suggestion that Obama is tarnished by the association.

“Barack Obama has a long record of fighting for ethics reform from his days as a state senator,” a campaign rep said.

Back in the stone ages we learned about the Teapot Dome scandle. Dirty, rotten politics.

Isn’t it so exciting that the filthy Chicago style of politics will be arriving in DC — to teach those poor ignorant folks how the game is REALLY played.

The problem is that the game is so complicated and convoluted that the American public, with the attention span of a gnat, will never be able to keep the details in their minds to figure out that politicians are mostly very dirty.

It has always caught my attention that politicians will raise thousands, or millions and millions for jobs that don’t pay that much. Politicians need to raise a lot of money in order to campaign for a job — and the people they owe are the donors — NOT the voters and taxpayers.

Obama never worked for the voters in his district — once “elected” he went right to work building his own personal network — so that he could distance himself from all the “dirty” politics, the “dirty” money.

I think that he sees health care — as a huge money maker — the fact that human lives are impacted — he could really care less. He’s already partaken of that pay-out — with Mrs. Obama’s job.

That’s another thing — the wives seems to be as heavily involved in the pay to play as the husbands. Nice wifey gets appointed to a board with lots of take home money — just a bit of walking around pocket change.
