Uh oh Mr. Obama... You 'don't' collect money from lobbyists, you 'do' love your country, you 'aren't' a muslim, and now you 'did' pay for your Chicago Mansion.
Interestingly enough, a British-Iraqi elite 'lent' millions of dollars to Obama just before making a huge land deal in Chicago. An investigation now shows that money may have went towards Obama's home.
A company related to the British man, Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered a 3.5M loan to Mr Obama's bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
Three weeks later, Mr Obama bought a house while Mr Rezko's wife bought the garden plot next door from the same seller on the same day. (put a 125k down payment on 625k on a mutual income of 35k per year). Mr. Obama got his house from the seller for 300k off listing price(1.625M-->1.325M) and Mr. Rezko paid 625k for the thin plot of empty land, if you can really call it a plot, it was only a 10 foot strip. Obama now owns both plots, his wife uses the strip as a garden.
According to Times, Mr Rezko has since been indicted for allegedly scheming to pressure companies seeking business with the state of Illinois for kickbacks and contributions to the governor Rod Blagojevich's campaign. Obama is linked to this kickback for receiving 10k (aside from the house). Mr. Rezko has 'helped' Obama with his campaign's since the early 90's.
Obama is not as clean as he seems... will the Teflon Man act work through November? How long can 'fear mongering' be a defense?

I admit I'm looking forward to seeing how Obama addresses this stuff in the debates. After all, he can't just say "I agree with Mrs. Clinton" come November. Maybe that's when all his tax increases and foriegn aid proposals come to light.
Let me clarify for you... He got a 'good deal' but a guy who has almost 0 money to his name paid 625k for a plot of land that just happened to be connected to the plot Obama boguht on the same day from the same seller.
625k -- THATS HALF OF WHAT OBAMA PAID FOR HIS HOUSE AND 5 TIMES THE LAND. You are telling me its a coincidence that Resko bought the plot for that much money and Obama got a steal.. come on.
Rather he made it up by giving to charity after he got caught is of no impact.
Hmmm, I don't much care about any sort of "smear tactics" I think the record speaks for itself. Hard to defend votes that place more money in the hands of foriegners that have no sign of poltical reconciliation. That said, a man can change his mind. I look forward to his opinions in the near future.
And what exactly do you mean about being furiated at McCain....
When has he stolen money for himself from his campaign or exploited businesses for kickbacks? I think bribery is a crime.
I don't think McCain is perfect.. I think its sad that out of 300M people, McCain, Obama, and Clinton are the best we could find.
I disagree with him on numerous issues, but i respect him because of his experience and ability to responsibly end the war in iraq.
I also find it ironic that you would question the credentials of an article with listed direct sources (the guy who gave the loan), a criminal indictment against a guy, deeds, and numerous document records.
While at the same time you have a field day over a NY Times article about McCain that lists 0 sources about something that supposedly happened 8 years ago. The article was plain irresponsible journalism and they are facing backlash form that.
Yet, you are quick to dispense a very disturbing investigation that undercuts his integrity and makes him look like nothing more then a guy who takes bribes and bullies companies to give kickbacks for coming to chicago..
I am frequently amazed by the Obama Phenom
