Why isn't Obama's shady $$$ past of as much interest as SP's per diem?

"The pattern of funneling money to political allies and their allies is evident throughout Obama’s tenure at the Woods Fund. Tens and tens of thousands of dollars were granted to organizations including the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, Business and Professional People for the Public Interest (BPPPI), the Center for Neighborhood Technology, Centers for New Horizons, the Chicago Jobs Council, the Chicago Education Fund, the Chicago Institute on Urban Poverty, the Chicago Urban League, The Gamaliel Foundation. Dozens of the board members and officials from these organizations in turn would donate money, in many instances up to the legal limit, for Obama’s Senate and Presidential races between 2004 and 2008."

the obama campaign’s strategy is “don’t ask, don’t tell”...;)

the Media is not allowed to ask the Messiah (Read Anti-Christ) any questions about his past

The MSM is an accessory to crime, when it comes to Obama and his criminal and terrorists associations in his past....

The MSM’s strategy is “Don’t ask, don’t tell...”

Hillary Clinton’s strategy was “Dead men don’t tell tales.”

You might want to ask Charlie or Nancy or William or Barbara and see what answer you get.

If they are checking Sarah’s expense reports then the Dems are truly desperate.

Of COURSE this must be ignored, at all costs. A studied, willful ignorance has been the salvation of any number of “benign” authoritarian regimes.

Except, that genie cannot be put back in the bottle. Like a line of questioning that is opened in the course of a civil or criminal trial, it is a bell that cannot be unrung.

If the media cannot or will not set the record straight, then that leaves open a huge amount of speculation, much like that that surrounded Kennedy’s assassination, when the “powers” would keep so much information bottled up because it was “sensitive” and implicated some of the “wrong” persons.

Which led to the sneaking suspicion that LBJ knew a lot more than he was ever letting on.

it absolutely needs to be looked at. From reading in different places i found that he graduated from Harvard deeply in debt in jan of 1991 and started teaching part time at UIC and earning about 13K per year and writing his memoirs. I believe that he and michelle spent 4 months in Bali sometime during 1992-1993 but have not been able to definitely pin that time down. According to an article from the new york times, they spent a few months in Bali in the “early 1990s” so he could concentrate on his writing. He finished his book in 1995, more than a year past its due date but in July 1993, after being broke and deeply in debt in jan 1991, he made a $111k downpayment on a condo. How was that possible?

It used to be that those on the right who claimed media bias were shrugged off but this election cycle has truly exposed the media for who they are. The average person who is going to decide this election finally gets it. The media has gone overboard for the false messiah and everyone with a functioning brain cell knows it. Can’t wait to see how rigged the debate questions are.

Because Obambi's the chosen one - the affirmative action candidate, chosen solely for his race. He has no redeeming qualities. He doesn't understand economics, world affairs, or any other subject of consequence. All he can do is seek out grant money to fund his socialist friends.

On the other hand, Sarah's the real deal - a star that is rising on her own efforts and capabilities. She doesn't need NOW. She doesn't need racial/gender preferences. She doesn't need a committee, nor an "ivy league" education. She's smart, self-sufficient, pro-gun, pro-life, and a Christian. All qualities that the left abhors.

Right. And this whole "don't examine the liberal but give the Republican an anal exam" dynamic is resulting in high-quality, stand-up people in high positions in the Republican party, and a bunch of stupid corrupt morons in the upper reaches of the Democrat party.

Unintended consequences for the left, again!

Tens and tens of thousands of dollars were granted to organizations including the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (founded in 1997)

BPNC serves Brighton Park, a low-income working class neighborhood on Chicago's southwest side. .. The community's ethnic make up has changed from being predominantly Polish, Irish, Lithuanian and German to being predominantly minority (Latino, Asian, African American). Nearly 80% of its 45,000 residents are Latino, many of whom are ILLEGALS immigrants

Arrrrrrrgggghhh!!!
Literally overnight, my old neighborhood has went to HELL!
From a Middle Class, Middle Income - CRIME FREE neighborhood (no murders, armed robberies, etc) - to a Low Income, ILLEGAL filled, gang banging, barrio!

So, Mayor Daley... FLUCK YOU!
And stick your Sanctuary City policy up your A$$ -- sideways!

Well, Obama says he graduated deeply in debt, but has anyone produced proof of that, other than Michelle's constant moaning, and his cute little story about not being able to rent a car for the 2000 Convention because his credit card was maxxed out? As you pointed out -- he certainly didn't act like someone in debt.

The same goes for his earlier life: his mother was supposedly on food stamps, but in the meantime, she, her mother and the two kids flew to the mainland and traveled extensively: Disneyworld, the Grand Canyon, Yellow, Chicago, Kansas. A family that needs foodstamps does that? He's also said that he got a scholarship to the very expensive Pounahu Academy in Hawaii, but he neglected to mention that, or any other scholarship, in his book.

He flew back and forth to Hawaii for holidays and vacations while in college in LA and NYC and he took a trip to Indonesia and Pakistan between Occidental and Columbia. His mother stayed in a Park Avenue condo "of a friend" when she visited him in NYC, and he traveled twice to Kenya -- once before Harvard, and once after Harvard with Michelle before their marriage.

His life certainly doesn't read like anyone I know who was (cue violins) "raised by a single mother," and "deeply in debt" due to student loans.

Commies murdered tens of millions of innocent human beings wholesale for decades. The left and the media excused it and flacked for them the entire time.

Any questions?

How much does Joe Biden collect each day for his First Class Amtrak trips back and forth to his house? I heard in the area of $200/day.

I commuted to work, and no one paid me.
