Buttcrack Hussein would've been better off to remain a low-profile guy in Congress. Now that he's running for president all of his dirty deals, investment scams, and billionaire-like lifestyle are being found out.
As usual, and this he shares in common with the entire American Left, socialism for everyone else, capitalism for him.
"He won't be clean for long".---
I don't know about that---the more he's attacked, the more his Hollywood supporters at least, will tend to come forward like Geffen, as they should. The Clintons , true to form, has pissed off LOTS of early supporters, for a whole variety of reasons---people who invested their starry-eyed idealism in Bill Clinton only to have it spit on, are now ready to invest that same idealism in Obama.
That investment is bound to be equally squandered by Obama, but they don't know that yet. For the time being, Obama should have learned a valuable lesson that , if he plays his cards right, as he draws the ire of Team Clinton, there are a whole host of allies who will rush to his corner, willing to EXPOSE the machinations of the nascent Hillary campaign, as she tries to undermine a fellow Democrat. This may reach critical mass sooner rather than later, however, and in a few months we may actually witness Hillary trying to "make nice" with Obama, as she looks about and ponders.....oh, I don't know.....ponders.....uhhhh....a possible choice of a running mate, ,maybe?
Obama strikes me as a film noirish character: furtive, hidden troubled past, connected with sneaky characters... and now money issues.
Typical Chicago Democrap politician.
Not cool enough for film noir but some think he's a "GOP Trojan Horse" >>>
"It seems to me, everyone is missing the forest for the trees. Forget the investments, why are people who backed the Swift Boat campaign backing Obama? And why did the Republicans run a black man who doesn't live in the state against Obama? Is Obama who he says he is, or is he another Al Sharpton, whose presidential bid was entirely backed by right wingers? Maybe Obama isn't the savior of the Democratic party, but a Trojan Horse of the GOP?"

As the child of a Jew and a descendant of African Slaves I am deeply offended by the use of the word "Jigger."

Nice verb to use about an opponent of the Hildebeast.
(Hint: Think of her husband. What comes to mind?)
Cheers!
But they are skillfully using the more-conservative elements of the media to get the message out. This was in the WSJ and the story about his early schooling was in Insight Magazine. That way, the Obama campaign and the MSM can call it a "Republican smear campaign."
Here's my question: Why does a relatively unknown politician from Illinois get a $1.2 million dollar book deal for a book that few have read?
Like Schroeder answered when asked how he could get all of those notes out of a toy piano, "ya gotta get the breaks."
>> Net loss on the investments: $13,000.
So the media is all in a tizzy-fit because of some investments he made that lost $13K? Did I hear that right? It sounds like he didn't get any insider tips. Or if he did then the insider tips weren't very good. BTW its not very well known in political circles but US Senators and Representatives often buy/sell stocks on a regular basis. But like the rest of us they're supposed to NOT get involved in insider trading.
If anything this whole story has the footprint of the Clintons all over it. I'm starting to feel sorry for Obama. He's their big target right now. And those Clintons are very ruthless people. Obama is going to have a long year. I used to be against him running because of the promises he made to not run. But now as I see the ruthlessness that's being thrown at him I hope he can defeat Hillary for their nomination.
Seinfeld once said that an income tax audit is the government equivalent of a colon exam. Ditto for running for higher political office.
Coupling this with his real estate sweetheart deal and you've got a guy that either just recently thought about running for Prez or a guy that has no commonsense to avoid giving major ammo to his enemies ("foreign" and "domestic" on a two-party basis).
Obama - bend over for your close-up.
The Entire Chicago Democrat Machine is a criminal enterprise.
At what point do the People rise up to stop this crap??
the NYSlimes must be in Hitlery's camp as well if they reported this.
to be sure the DIMs and their allies in the media are masters at this. Its time someone woke up the Pubs to return these 'favors'.
"Obama had about $100,000 he wanted to invest in 2005. The money was a portion of the $1.2 million he got from a book contract. "
Normal people don't get 1.2 million for a book contract. These things are always slush funds.
That depends on how close of "family" Daddy Bush and Bubba Clinton actually are.
Obama wasn't even a blip on the Klinton's radar screen back yonder.
There are traitors placed in the FBI that are happy to keep the klinton's informed about current opponents.
