Of course, “elecetion” = “election”.

I have not verified it yet but my understanding is Obama’s top economic adviser’s are former heads of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac.

Nor should Obama be talking about earmarks since he got them to fund his crooked supporters in Chicago.

I sent a an email telling them that I am looking forward to their report on Senator Obama's expenses.

Somehow, I think I might be waiting a while for that one.

How far does she live from the capital

I don't have a map, so I couldn't tell you have far the governor's mansion in Juneau is from the capitol.

Wow!!! $$Forty THOUSAND/Year??? (I am assuming that figure is for both girls).

What school is Obama sending kids to that costs as much in Tuition as many colleges?! Another piece of evidence that he has little in common with the middle classes he promises to represent.

Funny how he personally wants private school, but I am sure he (as all liberals) is against school choice. Also, I am sure if it was Sarah Palin sending her kids to schools charging $40,000/year tuition, our “independent” press corp would be ripping her for that too!!

Bob Beckel repeated the charge on F&F this morning. He was saying something like, it’s not fair to say she can’t be a good mother or to go after her teenage daughter... but the allegation that she charged the state for nights spent at home is fair game.

Sarah bills $16,000 for her valid, work-at-home time.

Barry sends a $1 million EARMARK to Michelle's employer--1 month after she is hired for $300,000.

Bring it on!

How about spending $110 million in the Annenberg project without a result of education improvement in Chicago? He may succeed in propagandizing the children and wealth-redistributing to his cronies, though.

I also noted that, when filing her voucher, she specifically stated that she stayed in her home. Why did she state that on the voucher if it was illegal or improper? Answer - it was neither!

Palin, who earns $125,000 a year, claimed and received $16,951 as her allowance, which officials say was permitted because her official "duty station" is Juneau, according to an analysis of her travel documents by The Washington Post.

Thus, no story.

Oddly, in all the stories about Joe Biden taking the train home every night, I never remember a NEWS OUTLET telling us how much money the taxpayers paid for that -- I'm betting it's more than the $40,000 the governor charged for travelling around the state.

Yes the power of the headline. People will glance at it and say shes a crook. If they read the article they will see how frugal she is. Incredible.

Next they will do an article on Elvis death entitled, “Elvis Still Lives”

Part of the reason that W has such “low” numbers is the constant and unrelenting barage of hit pieces such as these. They really demoralized the base, in part, because we just couldn’t take it any more. I know that W has gone against us and been unsuccessful in certain areas but he’s a good and honorable man who has been beaten up and down by the media for 9-10 years (including the campaign) It’s about time that they stand back up and fight the bastards. Answer every charge, forcefully, and go around them to the people, like the Gipper did. This election season has begun chipping away at the medias power and it’s time for us to finish them all. STAND UP, STAND UP AND FIGHT!!!!!

Baseball players get a per Diem. Federal appeal Judges. It common.

State legislators usually get them also. I'm sure the Washington Post has a team of investigative reporters combing through the records in Springfield, as I type, to determine whether Barry cashed in his per diem.

MSM are letters for “MEAN STINKING MEDIA.” Enough said.

Someone should compare this to how much Acela Joe Biden has chared the government for his frequent trips home over the years.

Also, Palin is not some millionare who can “afford” to give up money. Her husband has a good job, but not a spectacular job, and she gets paid whatever a governor’s salary is.

Guess she wasn’t functioning as Gov. when she was at home.
