Obama did have a great-uncle who participated in the liberation of Buchenwald.

God, you guys are pathetic. How does a minor gaffe months ago compare with evidence of corruption and abuse of power right now? Just how much does your partisanship allow you to overlook?

BHO is from Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.

If you (or BHO, for that matter) were concerned about cronyism, patronage, and corruption (political or otherwise), I'd think you'd want to look at the most machine-tied, in-the-bucket, "go along to get along" of the bunch. Pretty hard to beat Chicago, Cook County, Illinois ... and BHO is right in there with 'em.

The FBI has acknowledged that it has, by far, more agents investigating more fraud and corruption for the greatest spread of politicians here in good ol' Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.

And Tony is starting to sing, this is likely to get interesting.

But, I suppose, since it's Democrat corruption it doesn't really count. Just like voter fraud doesn't count, as long as it helps the Democrat.

I wasn't aware we were voting for "good ol' Chicago, Cook County, Illinois" for President. Do you have anything in particular to say about Obama, chief?

Well, to begin with, the topic, or at least the sub-topic, indicate disgust with the "A distinguished record of cronyism and secrecy," which is obviously a bullshit concern given that BHO himself was created out of the political machine controlling Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. He does what he is told to do (like supporting Todd / Toad / Toddler Stroeger, easily one of the biggest idiots ever spawned by the machine).

The point I apparently failed to make clear is that if the OP is so concerned about "A distinguished record of cronyism and secrecy," then he should also be even more concerned about the product of the Chicago, Cook County, Illinois machine ... nothing in Alaska could possibly compare to the criminals running the City of Chicago, County of Cook, and State of Illinois.

To wag a finger and be concerned at Palin for these activities (if they're true) and to overlook the same activities in BHO's home environment which is orders of magnitude worse (and has been for decades) would speak volumes about the hypocrisy, motivation, and intellectual dishonesty frequently associated with BHO's supporters here.

"Do you have anything in particular to say about Obama, chief?"

Yep. He's a corrupt piece of crap Chicago politician and an empty suit. He's so bad, I will have to stoop so low as to pull the lever for McCain. I am not voting for McCain, I'm voting against BHO, the Chicago, Cook County, Illinois piece of crap empty suit that has lousy judgment in choosing his friends and mentors and doesn't have enough spine to stand up for them when he's called out on it.

Particular enough Bunky?
You sound like an irascible old codger.

You can say whatever you want, but this woman is a tricky fox. I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about this topic. The expert they had on the program said with her position, she has the right to do the hiring and firing w/o breaking any laws. gg She's probably fucking all her former classmates too. Damn, I want a video tape of that.

Let me get this straight: you're saying that the corruption that Palin has actually done is meaningless compared to what you think Obama may have done just because he's from Chicago. Is that right?

I hope not, because that's is about the pathetically stupidest thing I've read here yet. We have evidence of corruption on the one hand, your circumstantial prejudice against the city of Chicago on the other, and you expect us to value your opinion over the facts?

Sorry, the real world does work that way. Unless you have EVIDENCE of corruption by Obama, and not just your silly guilt-by-association gossips, then pardon us while we ignore your obvious DUH-versions from the actual real life evidence of corruption by Palin.

:thumbsup: My thoughts exactly! The fact (if it is indeed a fact) that Obama was exposed to some of the most corrupt politics in the nation and the most that his detractors can do is impune guilt by virtue of his exposure and some very tenuous guilt-by-association innuendos would seem to suggest that kudos are in order for our president-to-be. What of this has actually rubbed off on him? If he survived the corruption of Chicago he might also rise above that in Washington DC!
