I live near Chicago, Barry is "my" senator (who actually DOES respond - or someone in his office does - when I send him critical or other e-mail - so he has at least THAT much in his favor.) and I suspect that ani is correct this one time. As I have mentioned on many previous posts: The DEFAULT for Democratic politicians from Illinois is "corrupt until proven otherwise."

The entire editorial board of the Chicago Tribune questioned Mr Obama about the home purchase and found nothing illegal or unethical about the transaction. Maybe, just maybe, that group has a better grasp of the facts than you do Ani. And the Tribune is certainly not known as a left leaning publication. One would think that by now you would have spewed all the hatred that one person could hold but alas, it just keeps coming.

The real estate deal with Rezko (who, I suspect is just about to be convicted - the jury has the case) is just ONE item. That we already KNOW about. And, the Chicago Tribune is NOT an official investigating arm of a law enforcement agency with subpoena power. They may have found nothing illegal, but the deal is STILL pretty questionable from an ethics standpoint - REGARDLESS of what the MSM Chicago Tribune might say. Just because someone else doesn't necessarily trust YOUR favored candidate does NOT make them wrong and you right. It's still too early to tell for sure. MAYBE Barry is an honest, ethical, straight-up guy. Sometimes a person will surprise you. But USUALLY NOT a Democrat from Illinois. The over/under on the indictment of our current Democratic governor (another Rezko pal) is reportedly July 15th, by the way.

george ryan is the rep x gov and the only prob with him being in prison is he didnt get enough time
i honestly dont know what to think about the rezko trial,after the neo cons convicted seigleman in alabama when he didnt get a dime
and the lead witness for the prosecution is a neo con thats already been convicted
the one thing i am sure of is anni lies in general so theres no reason to believe anything she fonts
if obama did anything unethical in his real estate deal its small potatoes compared to mccains lobbyists and foriegn goverments paying for his campaign...including but not limited to his killing the boeing deal so his lobbyist bud could get the contract for airbus(a non american company)

I'm not sure you can do more than say it's your opinion that she lies,,,,,
Also, if anything is done that's unethical, that's the end it's unethical, once we start saying that it's ok because the other guy did something larger or worse is when things get like they are today

I can't count the times on this website that you and a half dozen other party line republicans have started a sentence with "Well Bill Clinton.....!" You are all notorious for this each time a fact is driven home that you can't defend regarding your president.
Practice what you preach, and you will look less like a hypocrite!

...."This guy is not as clean as Democrats would like you to believe. I hope McCain looks at his record, and calls him on his ethical problems..."
Compared to that rotten little pile of feces, Bush, and that overflowing slime and slop bucket McCain, Obama is practically sterilized!
The White House will need to be fumigated and disinfected after the Bushtapo oozes out of it.

Teech, why do you always insist on polluting threads with your crass descriptors? Do your fingers have turrets? Heck I love the passion and you have a valid gripe and you giving your opinion is a good thing, but can't you try and cut out the few words that aren't necessary to get your point across?

No ADA I point out that both sides do it by pointing to the poster child from the party you seem to support. I never excuse away the actions done by the right.
When you talk about the right you talk as if ONLY the right does bad things, I'm adding a bit of balanced reality to the subject.

You won't hear me refer to the "right" when all of em are "wrong"!
If by "right" you are referring to the republican party, you need to consider the fact that they are the ones who have been in power for the last 10 years. Keeping that in mind, who would you expect the complaints to be aimed at?

Absolutely correct. I am in Los Angeles and after the Tribune company purchased the Los Angeles Times we all noticed a distinct rightward leaning of the editorial positions. That does indicate if there was anything wrong in that transaction they would have jumped all over it if for no other reason than they are right leaning and he is left leaning on the political scale.

All of this is undue use of exaggeration! As I have posted here several time Obama Chicago rival for the state seat spent 29 million trying to fig just what you speculators are speculating about, she said what she found is perhaps the most above board politicize in the United States. For a little irony she is now his ILL campaign head. Trust me if there were anything there we would have known about it by now, with FOX/Fake News and CNN both going after him they would have plastered it all over the news. For me the satisfaction is when you all realize how wrong you are about this guy.

If they were able to put anybody in jail they would have put many away. For them to find somebody wrong it doesn't have to be "beyond a reasonable doubt". They can criticize on their personal feelings alone. And they chose not to do that. Their "verdict" was based on facts and answers (not available to Ani or you others)and not on a pre-conceived notion that because he was a Chicago politician he has to be a crook.

They know he is not a Crook. The problem is they are not use to politicians like Obama clean as they come. I haven't investigate Obama but I am sure they have turned over every rock and shrub he has ever walk next to!
What strikes me is how little people reason, this man and his wife both are Harvard lawyers, if they wanted to be crooked can you think of a better field to be part of? Yet they trade that for politics. Do you know how much a Harvard law degree would get you on the open market. People pay you to sit on the board and be part of their law firm just so they can say they have a Harvard grad on their board I have a friend with a law degree from NYU that makes over Million a year, that should answer that question. If Obama was about money he would have made a truck load!

Anybody who has bothered to research for five minutes anything about Obama knows he could have had any federal clerkship for any federal judge or a position at any law firm in the country.
Instead, he chose to be a community activist in Chicago! Not Phoenix, or Florida, or California. Chicago! We have not had a presidential candidate with this much integrity and loyalty in my lifetime.

Obama is the cleanest candidate we have had in decades. That`s why all the cons can produce is innuendo and whining.
We`re sick & tired of the character assassination attempts.
Either come up with something real, ATTEMPT to defend McCain, or got off the pot.
