  1. Enlighten us, because if you're talking about the 10 foot wide strip of property Obama paid $60,000 above the appraised value for it.

    No, some of my relatives are from Chicago, and paying too much and having to pay higher and higher amounts because of a bidding war is not the Chicago way.

    I'll tell you something, though, I have become convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that smears are the Republican way.

    Ummm... right, also OJ was convicted therefore Obama is guilty.

  2. Much of your reply is non-sensical. The article I posted is not from some GOP hit squad but rather from the most pro-Obama newspaper in the country.

    "Much of the criticism has centered on two real estate deals involving Obama's South Side mansion. In the first, Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking price for a doctor's home, while Rezko's wife paid the doctor full price for the vacant lot next door. Then -- a few months before Rezko was indicted -- Obama bought part of that lot from Rezko's wife.

    But Obama's ties with Rezko go beyond those two real estate sales and the political support, the Sun-Times found. Obama was an attorney with a small Chicago law firm -- Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland -- that helped Rezmar get more than $43 million in government funding to rehab 15 of their 30 apartment buildings for the poor. "

    You can think Obama walks on water for all I care but he doesn't.

  3. 1. Just because YOU have problems with women vis a vis' being dumped by your wife- don't assume others share your sexual resentments.

    2. My lifestyle isn't dependant upon the Federal tax code.

  4. Much of the criticism has come directly from the GOP and as you can see below is so incredibly thin as to be able to see through it.

    So? Obama put three bids on the property, which was overpriced by a doctor with zero ties to Rezko. His first was rejected. His second offer was rejected, and his third offer was accepted. If that doctor was trying to do him a favor that's a strange way of doing it -- plus Obama paid the going rate for properties in that area at that time.

    So what does this have to do with the crook? The crook bought the property next door, to which Obama purchased a ten foot strip from and paid $60,000 OVER the appraised value.

    You guys need to get a life.

    If this is all you can dig up then yes, Obama must be able to walk on water.

    Before or after Obama got this "sweetheart deal" and paid too much for a ten foot strip of land?

  5. "Mandatory public service"=indentured servant

    Spin it how you want. Go ahead and rationalize it in your own "democratic" world, but it is akin to slavery.

    Obama is also proposing a "World Poverty Organization" where the US "donates" 3/4 of 1% of our GDP to help the world. If you think Al Gore made money from his global warming scam, you haven't seen anything yet.

    If Obama wins the presidency, RIP America. I will leave. This is exactly why we left Great Britain in the first place. We are being led by the people we beat in the Revolution.

    The fact is is that people suffer because they make poor decisions AND it is an unjust society.

    Did a trout choose to be a trout? No, it just is. Did the Great White Shark choose to be a Shark? No, it just is. The trout is hunted by the Great White Shark but you don't hear it crying about being a trout.

    YOU have more of a choice [to be a shark] than the trout does, you have the liberties to exercise more freedoms than the trout does. You have responsibility-the ability to respond.

    Or you can just let the government make your decisions for you.

    Socialism breeds complacency.

    Every country gets the government it deserves.

  7. Too late. When Bernanke decided to save all the failing investment co's we all woke up in France.

    None self-identified as “far right.”

    There are just few of us among many who get it. The nature of things is such that majority of population anywhere anytime is,was,always will be stupid, ignorant, gullible not knowing what the fuck is going on (generally speaking).

  9. How nice, you include yourself in that population. Is that an objective perception or yours.
