There is a reason why Obama made Judicial Watch's 10 most Corrupt Politicians in 2006 (honorable mention in the top 20) and top 10 in 2007. Yes, Obama has problems with lobbyiest - ethical problems.

Basically Obama was involved in several questionable land deals in the slum areas of Chicago - representing as an attorney - this Tony Rezko who will go to trial in February - unfortunately after most of the primaries. This is all over the news in Illinois as it happened while Obama was a state senator and involves his wife Michelle.

This site is impartial and just a collection of the news articles from Illinois and court documents.

The web is filled however with conservative websites touting this corruption of Obama. It will all probably hit the national news after the Democrats have foolishly selected Obama and it's too late to turn the page.

Not only a potential 4 to 8 years of Republicans if Obama moves forward in the line as a President, but good chance the Republicans will win back Congress.

Fight on Edwards and Biden!

Edwards pledges that he will not employ lobbyists in his government. Folks, lobbyists are far more effective OUTSIDE than INSIDE any administration. Edwards' pledge is meaningless garbage.

I am voting for Edwards (principles count)!

Edwards joined the 2004 ticket exclusively for his ability to deliver the southern vote....What he delivered was a resounding defeat. Nothing ...Nada....He was unable to deliver a single southern state in 2004...What has he done to distinguish himself four years later? The same...Nothing. Talk is cheap.

And he is such a complete narcisist that he has exercised this completely destructive scorched earth campaign undermining the ability for any other democratic candidate to succeed in the general election. And they are the likely candidates...Not Edwards.

So BFD...he can stay up for three weeks straight and it will not change the facts nor alter the reality that is what he offers..... nothing.

As a young lawyer in North Carolina,

"He was renowned for his tireless preparation. He worked back-to-back all-nighters, reviewing every document and page of testimony himself. "It's very difficult to keep up with him," says a former associate, Andy Penry. "He doesn't eat or sleep … You cannot outwork him.""

Edwards after 36 hours = twitching and convulsing on stage

It is strange that after months of almost being ignored by the press as they tried to drum up interest in their desired battle between Clinton and Obama, that Edwards is finally get some press. Maybe the media feels that it was too hard on him about a flippin haircut. Maybe they actuallly want to bring some balanced coverage into the media, or maybe they, like many in our country, see a real danger that if they try to push and either Hillary or Obama is nominated, then the next President very likely could be a republican. This is the real fear. Pick someone who the press has supported in a failed attempt to come up with one of their fairy tale endings. Obama is no prince and Hillary certainly no princess, so come back to reality and make darn sure no republican wins the presidency. Edwards, Biden, or Dodd-all white men -is that a crime? This is an important election, not a visualization of how the elite liberals wish things were. We are not going to erase racism nor chauvinism with this election. If we are not careful a republican using the politics of hate will win again. That will set progress on racism and on male chauvinism back many years.

Judicary Watch just printed their 10 most corrupt politicians of 2007 - Obama and Clinton made the list. Clinton for not releasing the White House year documents as First Lady. Obama for the following:

" Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A "Dishonorable Mention" last year, Senator Obama moves onto the "ten most wanted" list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin "Tony" Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company"s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law."

Guilliani is on the list as well, along with Craig and Pelosi. Judicial Watch does do thier homework.

Edwards is starting to look better only because everyone is sick of Obama and it's evident Obama lacks experience and substinace. "Shallow" as Dodd put it. "Neverland candidate" as Edwards put it.

Edwards still have to make a case for himself.

In the meantime the other candidate to serious consider is Joe Biden.
