That's if Cindy's daddy, who has been linked to crime figures Clarence "Teak" Baldwin and Kemper Marley, didn't help McBush buy the parking lot. Oh, he did.

Don't it always seem to go:

"You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot.
This would make a great attack ad, and somehow I think the Democrats would be able to get permission for use of the song:
... a mom-and-pop shop being bulldozed, a clearcut forest, fleets of SUVs, a 'made in china' label, a closed manufacturing plant, oil spills covering a beach... powerful images to go with the song. Final image (if they can get it) would be the "Straight Talk Express" parked in an otherwise-empty lot...
No speech, just the images and the song. -

McLame and his money bags wife definitely qualify for those huge tax cuts for the super rich. No wonder the senile old fool wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. What's another 3 or 4 trillion on the national debt - chicken feed.

That's right, because he was smart enough not to make such a stupid decision as to get a loan like that. It isn't the government's fault if people don't read their loan documents and buy more house than they can afford. DUH! -

You democrats are truly a bunch of HYPOCRITES.
Look back at the 2004 elections. Democrat JOHN KERRY. He too is very rich, he too has a very rich wife, he too was running for President. I don't recall a single one of you democrats or the lefty media criticizing John Kerry for being rich. I do beleive that's called being a true American Democrat HYPOCRITE! Seems you dems middle name is HYPOCRITE. The tripe never stops flowing from your mouths. It's almost funny, but not really. It's actually very sickening... PUKE!!!!!!

Now, Now lets not get too tough on the guy. Don't you remember there is only one way for his wife to get around in Arizona? That's by private plane. See she needed a landing strip for that plane and the parking lot serves double duty.

So you see, they thought they would save some taxpayer money by making a double use airport/parking lot. Now if he could just remember where it is.............. -

Your candidate's leadership experience:

The four plus years (1995-1999) Barack Obama spent as founding chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) represent his track record as reformer, as someone who reached out in a public-private collaboration and had the audacity to believe his effort would make things better. At the time he became leader of this ambitious project to remake the public schools of Chicago, he was 33 years old and a third year associate at a small Chicago law firm, Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.
This was a big test for him, his chance to cut his teeth on bringing hope and change to the mostly minority inner city school children trapped in Chicago schools. And he flopped big time, squandering lots of money and the time of many public employees in the process.
If Ayers were the sole point of interest in seeking the Annenberg Challenge files promised to Kurtz, all "132 boxes, containing 947 file folders, a total of about 70 linear feet of material", then the Obama camp might claim it was merely guilt-by association and persuade at least some of its own partisans. But the fact that Obama was in charge of a massive expensive project makes it indisputably a matter of proper vetting to examine his track record at delivering on promises of hope and change.-

And what did the Republicans do for them again? O yah sent them to war to protect their oil. Oh yah fighting any raise in minimum wage...oh ya wants health care only for the rich, oh yah want to drill everywhere regardless of environmental concerns oh yah wants everyone to follow their Christian religion All Republicans are, are reverse communists like sheep they say : he wants to raise taxes " Like it would make a difference to regular people....no it wont but it would sure change the tax breaks of the rich, anyway it is much more important to ask yourself...what do they do with my taxes those arrogant old oil folk. . I think people voted for Bush because they have about the same IQ he has and everyone knows it is not high.Think boy think for yourself for a change turn off Fox and go see the world

McCain didn't what? Mc cain didn't deal with a convicted felon? He isn't one of the Keating Five? See all this time I thought he was one of them. If we were to subtract him from that group there would only be four ( this math is to help Bush and his boy's and girls ). The problem for McCain is that he IS the fifth of the Keating Five.
Reply
Who were the Keating Five?
Well for starters they bilked the American public of around $2 Billion.
McCain not shady huh?
Liar. -

Has anyone noticed that those who rise to high position in this country are almost invariably wealthy?
Reply
Duh!
The issue is not that they have bucks, but whose interests they'll most immediately (try to) safeguard.
McCain has already made it quite plain that he's on the side of those who already hold all the cards, as of course Bush and Co. were and continue to be.
Helping the rich to get richer isn't a pretty thing to do given the state of our perilously tattered union, is it?-

Only the wealthy can afford to run. Consider yourself. Is your employer going to pay you for taking a couple of years off to get an election campaign going. What are you going to do to raise that money? It usually takes time and money to travel around and get yourself known to the people willing to invest money into your campaign. It takes time, effort, money, and a belief you can make a difference. Only the wealthy can take that time, effort, and money even on a local level. -

I am more concerned if McCain got taxpayer's money to acquire the parking lot. I am not sure how many actually know that the rich people in this country routinely get free government grants for their pet projects. They don't use their own money. For example, would you be surprised to know that people like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan of basketball fame, Bill Gates, etc. routinely apply for and get free government grants. In addition, corporations employ grant writers who apply for free government grants all the time and in addition, to receiving subsidies from the government, they always receive free government grants. Wouldn't you think that the Republicans/Conservatives would be extremely outraged by this? At least, that's what I always hear on these blogs. But for some unknown reason, they are more than willing to overlook giving not $millions to corporations but actually hundreds of $billions of taxpayers' money to corporations and to the wealthy in this country. In addition to the subsidies, the government gives hundreds of $billions in free grants to corporations and to the wealthy. Talk about hypocrisy!!!

His wife inherited a lot of money and most likely that is part of it. McCain lets her deal with money matters since it is mostly hers.
Reply
All those grants are for paying them for work they are to accomplish. There are government auditors that have to be satisfied that they are doing the work they said they would do. You make it seem like they are getting money for nothing. Free and grant are two words that don't go together. Grants and work do. You are the hypocrite. You are making it look like the money is for nothing in return.
If you want a lot of problems with the government write a proposal to get a grant. Then when you get it do nothing. You will have many interesting talks with the government including prosecutors.

Yes, McCain was successful in dumping his disabled first wife to marry the younger, prettier, rich Cindy, who was successful in being the sole heir of her wealthy father. Who could compare that to Obama, whose single mother had to use food stamps to help provide for her son so that he could grow up to work his way through college, and Michelle, whose blue collar father, despite suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, worked two jobs to put his children through college? Whiners, indeed!

What a crock that story is. Obama's mother was going to a university in Hawaii when she "married" his father. (His father was already married.) He was born while she was attending that school. Food stamps???? Where did you get that garbage. Her parents were supporting her while at that school. They moved to Hawaii to do that. She later at the same school met and married her second husband and went with him to live in Indonesia. She then gave up her son to send him to her parents to raise in Hawaii.

Michelle Obama's parents were so poor that they sent her to Princeton going on to Harvard Law School. Get real. I wish I could afford to send my kids there.

Check out the wealth of union leaders, movie stars, and athletes. How is that different?

You are all just jealous. You either don't have the talent or the willingness to put in the work required to be "wealthy".
It is known as "whining". -

Guys, grow up, stop mud trowing and all the slander.
Again, I don't care what Mc Cain did or not in Vietnam (unless it was very bad, e.g. proven fact he was actualy spying for the Vietcon, or proven fact that he was a Russian spy).
I don't care if he chaets on his wife or not. If he's gay or not. If he goes to chuch or not.
I'm only intersted in his program and idea's.
I don't even care if he changed his mind in certain political ideas, solutions or even past decisions. Like Bismarck used to say "only fools never change their minds".
Same goes for Obama.
I don't even care that Mc Cain has more house than me, AND a 2 million parking lot. I knew he was/is rich, the better for him. Being rich is nothing wrong.
However, I now have a BIG doubt over Mc Cain (before, I tought he was a more "liberal" republican). In this interview (so this is not mud nor slander) he realy shows he has no understanding of the problem of "normal" every day people: saying "being rich is starting at an income of about 5 million US dollar"........ wow......
Now I understand why in his mind giving tax breaks to people who earn e.g. "only" a meagre 2 million, is giving tax breaks to the poor.......
I can't even understand how you can survive on less than 1 million. (lol)
By the way (other lol), was that 5milion after or before tax.....?
