57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, 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. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. 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 khalid
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime 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?
If your state held a caucus its vote is bullshit.
If BO is anti-corporate and pro-working class, why did he vote for Bush's "Class Action Fairness Act"?

House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said in support of the bill, "Frivolous lawsuits are clogging America's judicial system, endangering America's small businesses, jeopardizing jobs and driving up prices for consumers."
But Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House minority leader, and other Democrats charged that the legislation is a payoff to big business, at the expense of consumers, for supporting Bush's reelection.
"When Americans are injured or even killed by Vioxx or Celebrex or discriminated against by Wal-Mart, they may never get their day in court," Pelosi said.
"This bill is the Vioxx protection bill, it is the Wal-Mart protection bill, it is the Tyco protection bill, and it is the Enron protection bill," said Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), the Associated Press reported.
If BO is pro-working class, why did he vote for Bush's "Class Action Fairness Act"? Oh and by the way, BO is trailing McCain in Virginia by 12 today.

I don't know what's going to happen in the primary, but the idea that McCain could carry Pennsylvania, or any other "blue" state for that matter is simply absurd.
Kerry won PA by 2%. Obama would lose it to McCain by 10 or more.
Barack "God Damn America" Hussein Obama isn't going to fare better than a war hero.
Since when does it matter how good a chef's TV "schtick" is?
I find the original story more believable.
Obama would lose a general election. Voters like me who would vote for Clinton will not vote for BO. We (28% of us Clinton voters last count) think he is inexperienced, shallow, and dangerous. That's just the way it is.
The silver lining in putting up with McCain, the lesser candidate than Clinton, will be watching the end of Obama's political career. I would say it would also be worthwhile to teach the Obama following type Democrats a needed lesson and strengthen the party's chances for success with qualified candidates, but it's already been taught by McGovern, Dukakis, Kerry and so on.
The superdelegates exist to prevent Democrats from failing that lesson yet again. No wonder Obama followers oppose them. He can't win without shutting down vote counts in two big states and lying about strengths that don't exist, like winning red states.
The general is a long ways away, folks. This "Obama has only a 10% chance of winning" business is bullshit.
You're right. Obama has NO chance of winning the general election. Are all Obama supporters this deluded by vague promises of "hope"? (Don't ask an Obama supporter what he's "hoping" for unless you like listening to incessant meaningless rambling.)
Reality: The choices this year are Clinton and McCain.
