The Obama’s want to impose an Amerikan style NOMENKLATURA. Look it up, people.

“....since Barack is as nakedly on the make as any politician in modern American history.....”

My favorite line of the article.

It’s VERY well written. Very refreshing in this era of horrible journalists.

Well I’m sure Michelle Obama enjoys her mansion while complaining what a mean racist evil country this is.

And not only that, they are on a tight budget. They have to pay so much for dance lessons and things for the kids. And that $1 million+ plus mortgage carries a hefty monthly payment with it. So they have to watch their paychecks. Also, she said they had been paying back student loans till just a couple years ago. They are just struggling people in a racist country.

This is pretty standard fare for a "Reform Democrat from Chicago." My hometown is where the word "clout" came to have a special meaning, and the question, "Who sent you?" is not just a polite inquiry, it's the key to unlock the door into the magic kingdom of corruption.

This is also the same town where Mike Royko said the slogan of the City Council should be "Ubi Mea", which is Latin for "where's mine?"

Anybody who thinks things have changed is sadly naive. It's just a question of how many Americans will be surprised to find out how the City of Chicago works. The Clintons were amateurs.

No, they are world class scum. World class ass holes. World class socialists. And, stupid ass hole Americans are KISSING his tan butt and sucking up to this Marxist. If this country elects this ass hole, then America truly does deserve what it gets. If America is stupid enough to fall for this thug’s BS, then America is past saving. It is truly lost.

Surprising that it was the WaPo which broke a negative story about “Osama” Obama and Michelle Ma Belle. Could it be that the Clintonistas are out to subvert his campaign while supporting him publicly - at least for now?

But surely the world does not “hate” consumerist materialistic America because of homes like that chosen by the Obama family? (sarc)

I would have liked the author to describe the thermostat setting for the a/c in said Obama family Chicago manse.
Surely set well about 72 degrees as the great soul saver of America has admonished us typical white little people to do to avoid being “hated” by the world?

Great post!

Brent Bozell was on with the Friends this morning reporting on the absolute swooning the Drive-Bys are doing over Michelle & Barry. He mentioned one morning show where they did a "5 Things You Don't Know About..." segment. For the Obamas it was all fabulous...while for McCain it was all negative.

The article is not available on line, but the June issue of Vogue did a nice feature on Cindy.



RUSH:...and this next poll, this next story, leads me to conclude, ladies and gentlemen, that we can expect a lot of hit pieces on Cindy McCain very soon. This is another AP story, this one by Alan Fram. "The public hasn't taken to Michelle Obama yet, especially whites."

"And it's got a question about Cindy McCain: Who is she? People are divided over whether they like the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, with 30 percent seeing her favorably and 35 percent unfavorably, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released [yesterday]." So let me summarize this for you. Basically, people are divided over whether they like the wife of Obama or whether they like the wife of McCain. "They tilt positively toward the spouse of Republican hopeful John McCain, by 27 percent to 17 percent. In other words: While the two women are about equally liked, Michelle Obama is twice as disliked as Cindy McCain." If you read this whole piece, Cindy is a mystery, and so expect some hit pieces here, because this is why the Drive-Bys do these polls. They go out and they find out who is popular. If the Republican spouse, the Republican candidate is more popular than the Democrat candidate, then it's time to rev up the smear machine. (end)

This is a Chicago tradition, I guess, and it's not hard to understand.

No, it's not. Do people really believe he's the ONE Illinois politician who is not corrupt??
