        You left out Obama is now being looked at for getting a sweetheart deal on his mortgage interest. More than half a point lower than others at the time. Probably part of the Rezco deal when he got the house.

            He isn't being looked at endoscopy... There is no investigation, because he did nothing wrong.

              That's because the person in charge of a senate investigation is a Democrat. No Democrat has ever charged another Democrat.

              As to investigations, I'm sure the FBI is looking into this but it wouldn't be easy. Going after a well protected US Senator who whats to be president. It will never happen.

                That's because the banking industry confirmed that he did nothing wrong and that he had simply made a very good investment.

                  Keep digging for dirt and coming up empty. The more you do, the more golden Obama looks.

              BB,

              The "I know you are but what am I" defense isn't a valid one.
