Hillary at twilight

Was her campaign stop in an Ohio town called Hanging Rock a metaphor -- or a symbol of dogged defiance?

    Obama's "relationship" with Rezko happens to be serious stuff

    First of all he was supposed to be representing the poorest slums of Chicago, not securing a Beverly Hills style mansion with a well-known schister and arranging raises for his wife.

    His long history with Rezko is indeed troubling to put it lightly. It doesn't just crack through this facade of altruism he's tried to present, but actually NUKES it.

    Add to that all during this time he and Mrs. Proud to be American for the First time in her life were let's say doing a major upgrade on their lifestyle, not one single new job was brought into South Chicago.
