Obama Aides Defend Bank’s Pay to Biden Son
New York Times ^ | August 24, 2008 | By CHRISTOPHER DREW and MIKE McINTIRE

During the years that Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. was helping the credit card industry win passage of a law making it harder for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection, his son had a consulting agreement that lasted five years with one of the largest companies pushing for the changes, aides to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign acknowledged Sunday.

Another article that probably was posted last week about the ADULT son of VP candidate Biden. Since the MSM is giving us wall to wall repeats about Palins MINOR daughter, (did you know she was pregnant?) I think an adults financial dealings involving candidates for office is fair game.

It sounds like Joe Biden has been ‘pregnant’ with his youngest son’s ‘baby’ for some time now.

Wink. Wink.

This attack by the left on the Palin children is starting to make sense now. I was amazed at how relentless the attacks have been for two days before Obama comes out and says “children are off limits”. I suspect these attacks were an attempt to wall off the kids because Biden’s two boys are in moneyed insider deals up to their necks, including lawsuits over millions of hedge funds $$.

The Obama people may want to keep brother George out of the spotlight. You know, the long lost half brother who Obama met once and said was a “beautiful boy with a rounded head.”

Help George Obama here:

This creates a cloud of questions about Joe Biden’s ethics.

One has to ask, “Did the Obama campaign properly vet Joe Biden?”

In their desperation for “experience” on the ticket did the Obaba campaign rush the pick of Joe Biden?

Is Joe Biden a crook?

Is Joe Biden’s son a crook?

Is it true that what is good for the goose is good for the gander?

The crap being blasted around by the loony left concerning Sara Palin are purely personal and have no bearing on the issues. However, if the libs want to delve into the personal the questions about Biden as mentioned herein along with his son and brother's being investigated for fraud regarding dealings with a hedge fund, need to be similarly asked and asked often.

THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA NO LONGER HAS CONTROL OF THE NEWS AND WE NEED TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF OUT ABILITY TO COUNTER THE SLIME THEY HELP THE LEFT SPREAD.

Since it is the MSM that is running with the swipes at families of candidates, it’s far passed time to start investigating and publishing tidbits about the families of those who decide what is relevant about candidates. What about Brokaw’s past, Gregory’s family and Matthew’s student years? Why don’t we know more about those who decide what matters?

This story of course is not about the son’s indiscretions, but about the CANDIDATE giving favors to an industry BECAUSE his son makes money off of it.

SO it’s about the CANDIDATE, not the son.

Just a sidenote, Bristol’s not a minor; the age of consent is 16 in Alaska.

Still, the hypocrisy in treatment by the media is...transparent, to be blunt.

actually, I think the left and the MSM are afraid of Palin, and think they can bully her, make her cry, and quit the race. This article on the ugly Biden family business seems like an attempt to quickly get it out there and then call it old news.

This is one hell of a lot more serious than whether Bristol is pregnant or not.

I’m still steamed that CNN last night had Volf Blitzen speculating on Bristol’s pregnancy. Or that any MSM paid any attention to that.

No *s* -- America, Mrs. Palin's unwed daughter is pregnant vs. both of the Dem senators have pushed legislation that benefited their family members, which do you believe is more of a disqualification to hold higher office??

So,one of Biden's son's is a crook? I haven't heard this from the main stream media. I just can't imagine Biden putting the integrity of the country at risk with such a personal scandal going on.
