45.) I Only Found Out About My Investment Conflicts Via Mail - Lie, both companies you site as having sent you letters about this conflict have no records of any such letters ever being created or sent.

48.) Treehouse Is A Small Company - Lie, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.
49.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - Lie, your wife's pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate (going from $120K to $320K weeks after you got into the US Senate and tried to get a $1 million pork project for the very same hospital) and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
50.) I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - Lie, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko's wife buys the lot beside it that you can't afford, saving you $625,000.
51.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - Lie, you only gave back Hsu ($72K [Yes, the same Hsu, Obama supporters try to tie Clinton to]) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN, it's $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
52.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - Lie, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrakhan their person of the year.
53.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - Lie, you only recently repudiated Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
54.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - Lie, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Mr. Auchi was also found guilt in another political corruption scandal (largest in France since WWII). And this is one of Obamas' good supporters that paid millions into the Obama campaign.
55.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright's, that have been in videos on You Tube all day - Lie! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa speech you said "Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did." FLIP-FLOPPER
56.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - Lie. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. Could it be that you had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton's and McCain's more than a year before!
57.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - Lie. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. He also seems to despise America as much as Rev. Wright.
58.) My wife didn't mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - Lie. Again, MicHELLe's comments are perfectly in sync with Wright's, Meeks', and Farrakhan's, both in language, anger, and direction.
59.) I am very Anti-Terror - Lie. One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed Khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren't there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.
60.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - Lie. You and your campaign buddy Penny 'Sub Prime Bank Collapse' Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
61.) I played a greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - Lie - It was found that Obama -- the day after sitting for the interview -- filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama's own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey. html version

McCain vs. Obama: The Hero or the Zero.
Unity my ass. On to Denver!
Why do I get the eerie feeling that the majority of White voters are voting for Barack Obama primarily (and ironically) BECAUSE he's Black?
Are they trying to convince themselves that they're not racist because they're voting for a Black man for President?
Are they voting for Obama to alleviate their "White guilt?"
Is "White guilt" real?
(I'm an African American - and I'm curious.)
How many times must you be told that it's not about Hillary? It's about Obama and his inexperience, his constantly shifting positions, his associates, his supporters - especially within the DNC who handed him the nomination - and his flimsy record. Hillary just happened to be the last competent candidate remaining when the rest of our "strong field" quit.
"You are not a true democrat if you cannot vote for your party's nominee."
Areyou are saying that a true Democrat does not believe in democracy?
PUMA is 2008's version of Swift Boaters lol PUMA CAN KISS MY A**
LOL @ puma LOL you are a dot loved the 8 people at your last meeting yeah that will tell them LOL
Since it's not my party anymore I could care less if you spell it with a
"d" or "D" or if you changed it all together to hounds, jack ass, idiots, or more accurately losers (cause another loss is coming in the fall)!
P.U.M.A. Party Unity My Ass!!!
Where My Enemy's Enemy is My Candidate for POTUS!!!!!
I can never vote for Barack X he's a Black Liberationist!!! Go PUMA!!!! Go McCain!!!!!
You don't understand why anyone would vote for Obama? LOL Hillary is. What are you trying to say about Hillary? lol
This is what I do not understand. Why do democrats who are pro-Obama do not understand that some people cannot in clear conscious vote for him, because we believe him to be unqualified, a terrorist sympathizer and we also believe that he got the nomination unethically. We believe he was "selected and not elected". We believe that the media and the DNC HEAVILY favored him. Further more we are disturbed that he sat in a church for 20 years and listened to hate talk. We believe that he allowed Hillary to be slandered pathetically during the election. He used the race card without shame. He's a pathological liar(google Obama 68 lies) We do not like his relationships with Resko, Auchi, Ayers, Wright and all the rest. The "scent" of the man bothers me deeply.
The question to me is----Why would ANYONE vote for him? I mean this sincerely. I really don't get it.
you are truely slapping Hillary in the face by becoming a Republican. Why did you support her anyways? On Issues? Obviously Not because you are supporting Senator McCain.
Dear Mr. Longo,
You say you are a proud, life-long Democrat. And yet, you could go vote for John McBush in November? I don't think so. You may have been a long-time Democrat, but you apparently have no clue WHY you are (or were) a Democrat.
There is simply NO WAY that you could have agreed with Hillary Clinton ON THE ISSUES, and still believe that John McBush is a better candidate than Barack Obama. With the exception of their INITIAL positions on the war, there is virtually no difference in their positions. And they are certainly FAR, FAR closer to one another on EVERY ISSUE than either of them is to John McBush on ANY ISSUE.
So, if you feel compelled for emotional reasons to go vote for McBush this fall, then do so with our blessing. It is, after all, your right to vote for whomever you please. But don't pretend that it's a reasoned decision, based on the issues. Be forthright enough to admit that you're angry Senator Clinton lost so, UNLIKE SENATOR CLINTON...WHO IS TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, you're going to take your vote and run away.
You never said why you plan to become a Republican if Obama is the candidate. What is your objection to Barack Obama? Why is Obama a slap in the face?
Gasoline Prices
Everyone knows that gas prices are too high. The thing that most people aren't thinking about is whose fault it is. Politicians! Not George Bush or the republicans, that's too easy! It’s all of them! Sorry to bust your bubble if you're naive enough to believe in your congressional rep or your senator. There are several steps to resolving the issue. The simple one is to stop using oil and use renewable forms of energy. The problem of course is that they haven’t figured out how to charge us for solar energy. If we can power the rover on mars with solar energy surely being as close as we are to the sun we could do it here with our vehicles. But forget science for now, let’s think more short term.
The short term solution is simple. All natural resources belong to the people. Take water for instance. Water is managed by public utilities (no profit)! So it’s simple, the government should seize all holdings of the oil companies as is done when local governments claim eminent domain (I’m not usually for government control of anything but when there’s a profit to be had no one can be trusted.), this of course would require a one time buyout of existing shareholders (just to be fair) and then we could all share in the energy without massive profits from oil, coal, wind, hydro-electric and natural gas. By making energy a non profit deal it would drastically reduce the current price.
Additionally, since we would not sell our oil, we would not have to worry about global demand. This of course would take short term concessions by the environmentalists to allow drilling in Alaska ad off shore, but this would be temporary as we pass laws that would require the government to produce solar, hydrogen, and natural gas products to replace oil based fuels. The end result would be clean not for profit energy. As the technology progresses for solar and hydrogen energy emissions would be eliminated.
What bothers me is that, I’m not that smart and I can think of this. So why haven’t our best and brightest come up with a similar proposal? I don’t believe they are not smart enough, they just don’t want to, Democrats and Republicans alike. Republicans side with big oil, while democrats are steadily trying to create their own cash machine through the “Go Green” initiatives.
The reason behind this are numerous, everything from reducing our interests in foreign oil producing regions to, giving the U.S. a competitive advantage in the global marketplace, which will give us once again the political clout to set an example for the rest of the world and get the to follow suit. If we don’t show how you can reasonably “Go Green” without killing your economy, you’ll never get other countries to follow. A special note to the environmentalists, if you don’t get the rest of the world to go along you will not be able to reduce green house gases; you won’t even make a dent.
The U.S. population is dwindling since it’s too expensive to raise and educate kids all the yuppies are stopping at 1 or 2 kids. All the people are being born overseas and they don’t care about green house gases. Besides, many scientists already know and most realize that green house gases are a natural occurring effect. Unless you figure out how to turn off volcanoes and other geothermal vents along with stopping wildfires that even if all mankind all over the world cease all emission now, you’re only eliminating about 3% of green house gas emissions. Many believe that this would not be enough to slow the greenhouse effect. I guess only time will tell. The real question is will the U.S. still be a superpower by the time we find out.
Just a thought – Until next time, I’m Christian Paul. Find me on Facebook.
It is my sincere hope that you will change your mind and vote for Obama. While you may have some legitimate beefs with the way this primary season has played out, the bottom line is that the need for a change in direction for our Country has reached a critical mass. If McCain is elected:
1. He will undoubtedly tip the balance of Supreme Court Justices in favor of overturning Roe v Wade.
2. He will condemn our brave men and women in uniform to 100 more years of combat.
3. He will continue to squander our resources to prop up the government in Iraq, even as the housing market, gas prices and unemployment here in the United States spiral out of control.
4. He will continue the "go it alone" foreign policies that have isolated us in the world.
5. He will renew the Bush tax cuts, in which 90% of the tax savings goes to the wealthiest 2%.
We simply cannot afford four more years of failed Bush policy. Hillary deserves the respect and gratitude of the democratic party, but how can she play a crucial role in these next four years, if McCain wins the White House? Please, Please vote with your head and not your heart.
Goodbye!! And come back when you are ready to live by the values of the Democratic party!
Have a laugh at John McCain's expense with the
McCAIN SLOGAN GENERATOR
Leave the democratic party!!!! (Democratic should be capitalized. It's a proper name.)

Hi, Just a fast note to the democratic party (colon) if you run Obama for president, my whole family across four states will leave the democratic (capitalized) party and become republicains (also should be capitalized, and spelled correctly) . Are (Our) whole lives we have been proud democratics (Democrats), but not anymore (period, or possibly exclamaion mark) this is the final slap in the face if Obama gets the nod. I know (comma) what is 75 votes (question mark) nothing right? But I know alot (a lot is two words) of people who feel the same way we do. So just think about it (period) 75 here (comma) 75 there (period, or possibly a semi-colon) soon there won't be any one left to vote democratic (actually, this should be an adverb, as in 'Democratically', but 'for a Democrat' would also work. Also it should be capitalized). You are taking things to (too) far with Obama!!!!!
John Longo
I agree with a previous post. Learn some grammar. And learn how to spell.
Is it worth the time and energy to reply to this ridiculous post? Oh well -here goes.
You must be a republican...or perhaps a racist? Come on...it HAS to be one of those two things. I think both.
So you are one of the Democrats that support her war vote that sent over 4000 Americans to die in Iraq! Just join the Republican War Party and I hope all your family members of age join the military to support the war the Hillary gave us.
If you really feel that you should change party just because the wrong candidate wins good riddance. You never say why you believe, "You are taking things to far with Obama!!!!!" Is it that you cannot vote for a person of another race? If that is the case, the Democratic Party does not need racists.
Have you forgotten about the NUMEROUS scandals the Clintons have been involved with for the past 20 years? Or is it ok that President Bill Clinton PARDONED the same Weather Underground individuals that you mentioned above? That they are currently involved in a scandal for which HRC has to testify in court for after November? WHITEWATER...I can go on and on. What about all the "hard work" HRC has done with healthcare? Making so much progress, just to end up taking their bribes anyway...and by the way, we STILL don't have Universal Healthcare. Do some research and see how much money she has taken from the pharmaceutical companies (aka drug-lords). But you still believe she is looking out for you eh? I guess you can keep your rose colored glasses on and hold your breath. I chose to do something different.
First of all....learn some grammar.
I will say this about many Obama supporters, they are smart enough to know that when it comes down to doing what we as Democrats believe in, you remember thos pesky little things called PRINCIPLES that our party holds dear, either Senator will be better than McBush. Saying that you will switch parties if Hillary doesn't win not only resembles a child's tantrum-like behavior, but it is also NOT in your best interest as a Democrat.
Obviously you are not concerned with the fact that McBush will just keep the country on the same track that has lead us to the state we are in today. You must be very well off financially to be willing to take such consessions at the rest of the country's expense...so why wait? Just make the switch now and join the rest of the neo-cons that have been at the wheel for the last 8 years. The Democratic Party's platform is not for you if you'd rather vote for McBush. Spare yourself and the Party. Go now.
Cross over. Help put the final nail in this country's coffin
To be a true Democrat is to let this primary process play out without pressuring a candidate to withdraw. Also a true Democrat does not tell another to switch for having different views or for any reason for that matter. You, anonymous, are partially the problem with the Democratic party at this time. I feel this nomination process in the democratic party is ludicrous, but I am not leaving. I will try to work to change it and to motivate others to join in that fight, not tell them to switch Republican.
Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was feeling the same way as you as a democrat from PA. What I have decided to do is if O'Bama gets the nomination I will join the fight for the Hillary write-in. I agree that I can't believe the Democratic party could let a nomination go through for someone with so many hidden associations and whom we know nothing about except scandal with Rev Wright, Bill Aires and others. Please, if this happens join me in the write in vote for Hillary
Bull! The will of the people? It's a total Media Junkie Circus. Democrats that want to be spared, those are the people that are backing Obama.
Maybe, it will be just like Dick Cheney, he'll probably appoint Al Sharpton as his Vice President. lol
How can America be so naive. This is going to cinch it for another 4 years of a Republican President. See ya at the pumps!
P.S.- A lot of people that are over the age of 21 are saying the same exact thing. This Man is not a jack-ass, he's an experienced voter. You may have to hang out with an older crowd, you may be surprised. I bet he's a veteran and you aren't!
P.S.S.- Democracy should be the Voice of the People, not the Voice of CNN. Every citizen in this country should have a say, not Super-delegates or delegates period. That's just how Bush won.
Why do you think that is so wrong? Don't you dare play the black card, when he is a closet honky hater. He is not qualified. Plain and simple.
A person doesn't go to a church for 23 years and just happened to miss all the racism. Why is it ok that he's a racist? Get real! I won't vote for McCain, but he'll win.
When 90% of the Black vote goes to Obama in North Carolina, what do you think that is?
This race will be all about race.
Hillary will be finished and Americans will be screwed, because we'll all just be living another four years under the rein of Bush.
One funny comment I heard on election day was from a young black woman "I'm voting for Osama Bin Laden." dead serious...Maybe that was one of the young college graduates, uh ha,mmmm....
Except for the errors in spelling and grammar, I support your decision and right to express it 100%. Too long have the democrats cowtowed to the fringe elements of the party. Too long have they run a mediocre (at best) candidate.
This Super-Delegate crap is also an abomination. All it shows is how people who tout a populist nature really just become turncoat sell-outs for their own gain.
This primary was not only hijacked by those who don't have a conscience to vote, it was then surrendered to empty rhetoric.
There is no content to an Obama speech and no revolutionary idea will come from his empty promises. All that is for sure is he'll turn his back on allies (such as Israel) and sit down with known enemies. His ideas aren't new and bold. They've never been discussed in daylight because they are stupid and embarassing.
Should Obama get the nomination, even with Hillary as a running mate, I shall become an independent.
"You are taking things to far with Obama!!!!!"
What the hell does that mean? Ya mean, like nominating a black man, is that what's "to far?"
Why sir? What is your reasoning for this rash decision?
Mr. Longo:
In order to be a Republican you have to know how to spell it.
:)
You are not a true democrat if you cannot vote for your party's nominee.
If the Republican's suit your needs and values better by all means make that cross over.
Cheers
~Ciao
hey jackass.
there are people who feel the same way about Hillary.
also - Obama has won more states, more votes, more delegates. If DEMOCRACY and the WILL OF THE PEOPLE doesn't mean anything to you, then you didn't belong in the Democratic Party anyway, so happy hunting.
