Wow...
your speculation simply shows us what your desires are.

The only thing I desire is the truth because I don't believe that justice will properly be served. It rarely is.

Obama called for complete transparency in his office, didn't he? The game is on.

It is difficult to deny any connections that Michelle and Barack have made during their rapid rise to stardom in Chicago. For either of them to claim ignorance regarding the politics at play in the WIndy City is ridiculous.

Why all of the sudden backpedaling regarding connections to Blago? Instant amnesia? Oops I misspoke. Must not have happened. I wish I could use that one when I get in trouble with my wife.

'That's not the Michelle I knew'.

thump thump thump (the bus running her over)

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Hey flyers, maybe Obama forgot this quote,

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Abraham Lincoln,
It might come back to HAUNT him, weird, haunt, ???!!!

*THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER BEEN PROUD OF MY COUNTRY"



this is so upsetting and I am really disgusted with American Politicians and bail outs and people losing their jobs

this is a terrible time for America

This simply cannot be! I refuse to believe it, Obama will carry us to the promise land.

Ok enough sarcasm.

I do not find this at all shocking, the guy comes into politics out of no where, becomes PotUS with no real experience. That doesn't happen by accident.

I particularly enjoy the parts of the posts where the Obamanics still refuse to see the truth of their savior.

What fascinates me, is not there there is a corrupt Blagovich -- which everyone knows about and Dems have wanted him gone for some time... but that the wheels of justice have become unfrozen, having been immobile now for 7.8 years.

We've had numerous real crimes and no response until now.

There seems to be a lot of assumptions here. That Pay-for-Play is pretty common for Governor appointments. If Obama were wanting to keep it quiet, well then he did a poor job. He didn't even give Blago anything in return.

If there is some shenanigans in the background, it seems that Mrs. Obama got appointed to something. Big f-ing deal. That is true of every damn politicians wife who cares to get involved.

>> for instance; Monica Lewinsky, getting a job at a cosmetics firm was the crime of the century. Oh the outrage of favoritism. Did anyone notice that we did NOT get involved in illegal wars or have no-bid contracts in the Billions? We had no war crimes, torture or a failing economy.

Now, in this backdrop, we are concerned that over $8 Trillion will be handed over to financial banks. Once again, we are going to hound a descent man into the ground on the say-so of proven crooks and traitors like Blago, and most Republicans, and worry about the money we give to US automakers, while of course, the southern Repugs have already given billions in incentives to Toyota and Honda. Wow, more crocodile tears for integrity.

Quit enabling this nonsense. Blaggo has got to go, and as a person who votes Dem more often than not, we are very happy to convict crooks from either party. But we also expect that there will be more troopergates to try and get this new President. Does anyone remember that the troopergate was totally made up and paid for by Richard Mellon Scaithe and that the troopers were let off on a lighter sentence from Check Fraud in exchange for their fingering Clinton? We all know Clinton was corrupt as well, yet no member of his cabinet was convicted of any crime, and after 8 years, hundreds of court orders, millions of dollars -- he was exonerated on all counts.

Compare this to people like Karl Rove, who engineered the incarceration of Alabama's governor. And won't even comply with a summons.

>> of course it doesn't happen by accident. About half the fricken country donated money, and had a grass roots effort organized by Howard Dean. My mother and sister were involved, and I don't know many people I respect, who weren't sick of the Republicans. Many Dems distrusted Hillary, so we were left with Kucinich, who was destroyed by a wary press like Howard Dean was.

You don't have to look for any conspiracy, beyond a corporate media who weeds out people who are not corporate-minded. So Obama played his cards right, and moved to the top of the ticket because the media weeded out Edwards and Kucinich.

After George Bush, a dog with fleas has a chance at leadership. Obama is a cut above that and is eloquent. If a guy can come from nowhere -- well, that is a great testament to the "alleged" Democracy in America.

It's really hard for Democrats who only paid of their college loan while campaigning for President, to be corrupt -- but hey, if the Repugs can sling enough dirt, it might stick.

This is disgusting. I think we need an official spotlight on the Obama's private affairs before he takes office.

I think its justified how ex-presidents can earn a fortune through speaking events etc - but when their wives and family end up landing jobs like this it starts to stink a little.

Clearly the wall-mart vendor is looking to curry some favour or publicity by having Michelle on board - jobs should goto the most qualified person. She has less experience than I do - and I am a million miles from that industry.

The company can appoint who they like, but full marks to the media who make people aware of it so they can make their own mind up.

Michelle should step down immediately as I feel the first family should NOT take jobs. The earnings of the president are more than enough to support the family for the term - and they will never be short of money ever again. But for the term in office, it is just a conflict of interests waiting to happen.

Looks like the Obamas are not whiter than white afterall - oh well - always the next president. The dream is iver before it has begun - AGAIN.

When will we have an honest, just, morally sound president that will do right?

Many thought Obama would be this white knight - but look at the facts. He's another rich product of corporate america - his family apparently not above indulging the unjust spoils of political office.

Inauguration? Let's see if there will BE an inauguration. Remember the certification of the votes doesn't happen until next Monday, the 15th. A lot can happen in 5 days.

What's sad is it took something like this to happen to break the "Obama spell" - some of you I've seen posting really hard for Obama in the recent past and seem to now be posting thoughtfully and objectively where he is concerned. It's refreshing to see, to know that a lot of you do actually care more about the laws and well being of this country, not just seeing "the messiah" take office at any cost.

If the man is guilty then I'm sure the truth will come out one way or another. I have a feeling the Clintons will see to that. If Obama is not guilty, then fine, we'll move past this and let the man do his job presiding over the nation.

Wow...I thought there was some revelation here.

I went to the Ops article and read it...and thought what are you talking about?

Lets play a game of insert Michelle Obama in the blank space..

From the complaint...

ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he needs to find a way to take the “financial stress” off of his family and that his wife is as qualified or more qualified than MICHELLE OBAMA to sit on corporate boards.

Okay...we inserted her name...How does that connect her to this? How does that make Obama a liar? Becasue Blago made a snarky comment about her?

Wow....you guys are reaching.

BTW - Michelle Obama graduated cum luade from Princeton and got her JD from Harvard Law School. She worked for a well known Chicago law firm and several non-profits. She was probably the most qualified person sitting on that board....so save the rhetoric about it being a pay-to-play appointment.

Oh my God are none of you seeing the writting on the wall????

Remember the anouncement about the new world order????

We have turned over all over sight of our finicial institutions to the EU!!!!

Bush has signed bills stating that if there was an emergency he is our happy dictator!!!

And guess who he is related to ????????

The Queen mum...... get a darned clue and look a little deeper.

You Americans made him president and he WILL be your leader for the next 4 years. Why are you complaining with so much contempt? Would McCain be better? If Americans do not cooperate for the next 4-8 years the economy will next be fixed in time to compete with other rising powers.

He is not Barack Obama, he is your president, now deal with it.

What do you mean 'either that or he is a liar?' OF COURSE he is a liar.

Go ask the messiah what he was doing at the Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly Virginia this year, I guarantee you he would lie about that too.

Are there actually still people on a conspiracy forum that support Barack Obama? Have you guys been keeping up with who he is appointing to his cabinet?
