In case you missed it tonight there was news on this.

The report on all contacts between the Obama staff and the governors staff has been prepared but the federal prosecutor asked that Obama delay releasing the report until next week because releasing it at this time may endanger the case of the prosecutor.

Ah, so here it is. First, I'm far from a Republican, so that arguement goes out the window. In fact the Reps and Dems are two wings of the same predatory bird.


I was not trying to make that an argument but I stand corrected on the fact that you are not a republican. I find all the parties a can be predetory..........



Second, where did you dig up this not so thinly veiled accusation of racism towards me? In fact, I think you should apologize and retract that right away.


Read what I said. And I won't appologize for an observation, I added it doesn't make it nessessarily true. I am not your enemy. Dont make me one.


As far as temper, temper, is there any evidence that he has any less of one, or does his reaction to being questioned by the reporter, snapping at him and shoving the recording device away from him show that he is just as tempermental as any Cheney or McCain have been shown to be?


Cheney McCain? you compare him to them? Well that's interesting, Dang huffinton is slow with dialup but I will attempt to read it. He could very well be the butthead you say he is, I just need to know more, I know very little about the guy, and I would be the last person to know any real facts on him. As to the temper, I don't know how I would react in those same situations. I bet not all that pleased. I find reporters to be a bit agressive themselves. Because a guy or woman doesn't like in your face media doesn't make them a bad person even on the Right who shows an almost unreasonable contempt for the media and our right to know.


Rahm's so proIsrael that he will sacrifice American interests. Aipac calls him their go to guy. I don't have issues with Israel, until their people work inside this country to invole us in their pathetic religious conflicts. Why won't this country stop playing big brother bully for Isreal and make them face their own consequences, does it have anything to do with millions in donation money and political support? All hail the Neo's Whether thats Lib or Con.


I fully agree with you on this one, and I remembered thinking becareful what you involve yourself in Obama, on this one.


Give me a break, you want to play games on behalf of the Obamamaniacs, go ahead, but just because he's better at speaking in public and says the things you want to hear, a saviour doesn't make him. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a Global elitist.



I am nobody's fan, or anybody's fool. I don't expect that Obama is a saint and never will. Nor do I assume any of them even the guy you like is a saint, they all have their own agenda and ideas, not all I will agree with. So please don't shout at me, I might agree with you more than i disagree. The global elitist thing is not something I subscribe to so I can't help you with that. Sounds like a conspiracy but again, I don't know enough about it to give and educated answer to that idea.

Oh and by the way. I am also not anyone's maniac. I fundementally see things as Obama does and I didn't vote for him in the primaries, I voted for Clinton.

Once that was out of the question I turned my full attention to researching him, and listened to every thing he said at every opportunity. None of us ultimately know everything until they are in and governing. Just as Bush disappointed those that elected him, Obama may also disappoint me.

I won't be one to apologize for him if he fails to keep his promises. That is if those who hate him will even give him the opportunity to get anything done. We are already bogging him down with this Chicago business.

Either way I don't take any of this lightly. I would like to see our country work again, and work right.

I don't anything about this man.

I would have been annoyed if someone was trying to interview me in front of my children. And it's even worse that it was at an event where the children's schoolmates were at too.


Gio,

I thought people were innocent until proven guilty.





I don't think I said he was guilty...I was stating MY opinion...based on watching him operate first hand...oooohhhhhhhhhh....for the 50's....pretty please...sad

The 50's were not that great, Gio. I take back. They might have been great if you were a white male.

Just goes to show some folks had it very good back then, others did not. I am more alive today than I was back then as a child. I was freed in 1970. That is when I began to live relatively safe. I would say the 90's were the best and on from there.

Where I live some that voted for clinton said they refused to go to Obama, admitted they would never vote for a black man.

That really disappointed me. I had thought we as a country had come so far. But then I moved to TN and went back in time.

I don't remember feeling quite so happy as when he won. A good feeling after 8 long years of a tense atmosphere in this country with the Bush admin.

Of course I laughed my ass off when some thought Palin would get us on her side? How could Palin or McCain have been so ignorant of clinton female voters....

The counter punch article was from 2 years ago, I read it.

The huffington post as usual never loaded for me. Sorry crapola dialup.

If Emanuel is that hot headed, there will be a clash between him and Obama who does not strike me as a man to tolerate outbursts like that. It is worrisome to me that Emanuel is so pro-war if that is absolutely true and I wonder what I have not heard more about him in particular. Both parties seem to have respect for him. Though I think guys tollerate macho behavior among themselves far more than the public.

If we do stay in Iraq per the new agreement between bush and Iraq I wonder, with the soldiers hamstrung by rules from Iraq, I have to wonder why we would bother to stay. And are we to continue paying the ungodly amount of money into that country as we have been?

I want to wait to see how Obama handles Iraq when he is in there.

You know Gio, those crazy days were only fun while they were happening. I never enjoyed the recuperation for days afterward. LOL I never really thought I was happy with all that craziness, and from where I am now I am sure I wasn't.

I am happy now, and far more content with my life than any other time. 1976 was a good year...

I'm sorry to hear that Boo. People that I personally know didn't have an issue with Obama's color. My Dad knew of one person.

I was thrilled when he won. I was so proud of us.

Yeah, it was funny that people thought that women were dumb enough to vote for Palin just because she was a woman. My mother was furious about that one.
