Obama goes negative in victory speech? Low class and shocking

I was impressed he started out positive. "Say anything" attack was a bad move.

as not all of us are watching

against Clinton

:scared:




:eyes:

So speaking the truth is now an "attack"? Nice.

The most dirty campaign wins.

He has accurately described Sen. Clinton and her tactics.

Don't confuse "speaking the truth" with "going negative". There is a difference.

how did I know you were going to make a negative post regarding Obama?

Sour grapes?

You're just too biased to hear it.

:wtf:

Edwards supporter here, BTW.

We must have different tints in our glasses.

are flaming, unmitigated, obnoxious assholes. If he gets the nomination (and it doesn't look like my guy will) I will work my ass off for him. I hope you will join me.

My first spin doctor kit.

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

class act. I guess that's why the boomerang effect.

:evilgrin:

Michelle Obama used Landmark Commission contacts to navigate through Chicago law

REZKO For Dummies
Friday, January 11th, 2008

In olden days, corrupt Chicago politicians would simply take a bag full of money. Usually the bag of money was passed under the table while corrupt politician and corrupt fixer lunched or dined. Those were simpler times.

With all the do-gooders trying to stamp out political corruption things got more complicated for politicians on the take.

Republican Senator Alphonse D’Amato devised a clever system which got him in some trouble. D’Amato, played poker every Thursday night with lobbyists. D’Amato won the poker games, got several hundred dollars on every poker hand played that night, and all was on the apparent up and up. After the lobbyist games were revealed, and INVESTIGATED, D’Amato had to find a new job.



Now imagine this: A Chicago politician, in modern day Chicago, who wants things he can’t afford. Wifey likes expensive things and wants a big mansion to live in. What new clever system would said modern day Chicago politician devise? Said Chicago politician first acquaints himself with ethics laws and how to skirt them.

Chicago politician and Chicago fixer come up with this scheme: Funnel tens of millions of dollars in government money to the Chicago Fixer and get him to somehow buy you a house, among other amenities. Yes, you have to turn your back on freezing Chicago constituents, African-Americans mostly, but hey, it’s the Chicago way.

What is a REZKO?

… Today, in a light-hearted, “down-to-earth” style, we will discuss REZKO. We will answer such questions as “What is a Rezko?”, “Why should I care about the REZKO?”, “What is the deeper meaning of the REZKO?”

As regular reader of Big Pink know, we have tried to explain the REZKO before. We’ve written repeatedly about the REZKO. Among other articles, we have written Will Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald Destroy the Obama Campaign?, The Case of the Missing State Senator, A Challenge To Big Media and Big Blogs, Obama’s $925,000 Question. But some people still don’t get it.

Yesterday, we received some assistance from ABC News and Good Morning America (We love that name - so sunshinny and cheery). Good Morning America ran a package on Obama and Rezko. The ABC package was Youtubed. Patrick Fitzgerald is on the video. ABC News also posted the story on its website The Rezko Connection: Obama’s Achilles Heel?



Michelle Obama served for 7 years on the Landmark Commission (1998-2005). Michelle Obama used those Landmark Commission contacts to navigate through Chicago law when the Obamas decided to build a fence for, as Lynn Sweet calls it, their Kenwood mansion.

Question: Did Obama know Rezko was about to be indicted when he made the last of the Obama/Rezko real estate deals? Obama changes his story with regularity. ABC News appears to have the evidence that Obama knew or should have known.

Signature lines are currently turned off due to high traffic.

With all your stretching, you're going to pull a muscle.

with political talking points I've already heard ah thousand times.

Can't agree. I think he finally showed the balls I've been afraid he didn't have. This speech made me think he can handle the avalanche of s**t the Repugs will release on him.
