Obama Reports 2007 Income: Made $4.2 Million In 2007
First the voters need to learn how to recognize negativity. Obama just put out 2 new negative ads. posted 04/16/2008 at 20:21:10
April 2007 NY Times article. It's very, very revealing. Obama clearly hoped this issue would be vetted in that article and never come up again. posted 04/16/2008 at 20:18:58

It was on this hefty income that she complained about the $10,000 annual costs of piano and dance for her girls. Every time I even consider I might have to switch my vote from Hillary to Obama, I remember Michelle. posted 04/16/2008 at 20:13:21

You need to go researching again. "The Clinton's" did not make most of their money from speeches, or lobbyists. Bill made a great deal of money giving speeches, and consulting. Hillary made around $10M from her book, and the remainder of her income is her Senate salary. Read, learn, and think for yourself. posted 04/16/2008 at 20:07:37
You know, the more I read, hear and see of him the less I like him. Maybe because I listen and he doesn't actually say anything. My republican son-in-law even said he can't get past the sound of his voice to be able to hear what he said, so he reads about him, instead, and will be continuing on as a voting republican this election. posted 04/16/2008 at 20:03:27
Because they knew only a handful of readers would catch that....and they were right.....read the many posts that repeat that comparison. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:59:01
Pretty sure if it wasn't a joint return, they would have estimated what they know Michelle's income to be. But, if it wasn't, you should be screaming for it....otherwise, they are clearly hiding something. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:57:13
Since you don't have a clue about why foreign trade is necessary for a world economy, and you have no idea what an earmark is or does (you so sure your job doesn't exist because one of your Senators got the earmarks needed for your state?), and have absolutely no idea what the library donors have to do with Hillary for president, it's a pretty safe bet you won't know what you're looking at once they are all released, either. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:55:53
Comparing one year for Obama to 6 years of the Clinton's shows what, amanda? If you want to be truly fair, compare the Clinton's tax return for 1992 to Obama's 2007. Same stage in life comparison. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:52:45

The answer to your question has been on the news since the day they released their 2000-2006 returns. Do your own research. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:38:40
Of course he is. He's a pure politician. The Clinton's filed an extension, which is the right of all Americans, and not at all uncommon among the Americans who have investments that much first file their own tax returns before the investors can file theirs.
The Clinton's can't produce what they don't have. Besides, this entire scream for returns is nothing more than twisted rhetoric on the part of Obama's campaign. No one is obligated to release these documents before they are declared the nominee. McCain hasn't released his, and won't until after the Republican convention.
Get a grip. Stop letting these people tell you something of no significance is the most important thing you should be thinking about. In Obama's case, it's to reduce how many questions are directed at his experience (or lack, thereof), and what he plans to do for the country. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:37:39

This man has not been POTUS for 8 prosperous years, nor has he ever spent a day as Governor of anything. Bill Clinton is worth something, which is why his books bring in so much more, and why his speeches and his consulting fees carry such a high price tag.
Obama aspires to reach the Clinton's income level, which is why he has consistently defined his policies as "what she said".
If you want to know Obama's true stand on a Colombian trade agreement, you'll need to ask Colombia....just like NAFTA and the Canadians. posted 04/16/2008 at 19:30:01

Obama Campaign Won't Say Whether Tax Returns From 1997-1999 Will Be Released

Hillary Clinton On Southern Working Class Whites In 1995: "Screw 'Em"
Obama camp playing clean, again. There is no deal-breaker for either camp. I could care less what Hillary said in 1995 after a horrible election season and when she had 12 years less in life experience.
I also don't care what Obama said in kindergarten.

If Obama supporters cannot tolerate opposing viewpoints to their better than life opinions of BO, why do you torture yourselves by reading these pieces?
Joe Wilson has every right to say that his 23 years of experience were worth more than being brushed away as "nothing" by Obama. If you feel he has no credibility, fine. You underscore the belief of all non-supporters that Obama cannot and will not be properly vetted. posted 04/16/2008 at 16:16:50

Exactly. The sad reality is that if the Republicans get their chance at him, they will handily win. They wrote the rules and when they start lobbing the list of things they have for him to answer for he won't have time to breathe, let alone take 5 days to compose some lofty speech on an unrelated topic to wow the country with. posted 04/16/2008 at 17:21:27
Unless Obama is willing to start talking about exactly what he is going to do, and how he is going to do it, the country will feel more comfortable with "the devil they know". He has no credible history on which to base his claims of ability and experience, and, so far, he has refused to tell the country the truth about who he is. He is incapable of apologizing, or even admitting he has grossly mischaracterized the people who he wants to serve. Every attempt to vet him is met with whining accusations the Clinton's are playing dirty politics and RACISTS. This is not in his favor. If he gets the nomination, democrats and republicans alike will not give him a democratic House and Senate to work with...not until 2010, and then only if he proves he deserves that kind of power. posted 04/16/2008 at 17:16:07

Campaign AdWatch: Obama Hits Back At Clinton, Lobbyists
Hillary supporters don't care that she takes money from lobbyists, and PACs. We understand how government works and aren't living under the delusional idea that anything in that process is going to change....not under her, McCain, or Obama.
Obama's "strike back" ads are not showing the maturity I want to believe could end up in the oval office. At least Bill's antics were adult rated. He's like the little tattle tail in the principal's office crying that "the kids are being mean to him".
With the Republican House and Senate that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are undoubtedly going to create after their miserable showings, Obama will not change a thing, not a thing. Can't wait to hear the whining that will come out of that scenario since nothing, absolutely nothing is ever Obama's fault. posted 04/16/2008 at 15:28:25

His greatest pride comes from his ability to craft and deliver messages that make him sound like a prophet. His words have gotten him in trouble, and he's like a deflating balloon flying uncontrolled.
If he truly meant, and knew, what he was trying to say, he wouldn't have to keep changing his excuse, looking for anything the people will swallow. I wonder how many more free hours the networks will give him for a prose-like speech on some unrelated subject to get his misspeaks out of the line of fire.
He is probably pretty sorry he already used up his racism speech.

Oppose Iraq war? Publicly, yes, usually. Not so much in 2004 when he was running his own campaign to get to the Senate. No one knows what he says behind closed doors. We all know he supports the funding of it.
He knows the difference between Sunni and Shia? So do I, and tens of thousands of Americans who have spent years working in the region. It's Americans he doesn't seem to have a good grasp on.
The Clinton's were cleared of everything except Monica. You think Obama is immune to the same treatment by the Republicans?
I have a serious concern over opposition to the vetting of Obama. He wants to be the president at a time when our country is experiencing a multitude of serious problems, you don't really know who he is, and you scream FOUL when someone tries to share information with you.

Obama: Clinton Using GOP Playbook
"Shame on her," Obama said, echoing one of Clinton's own atacks on him. "Shame on her, she knows better."
Obama said he was disappointed with her for her response and then launched into a new criticism of Clinton over her recent admission of being a hunter, and compared her sarcastically to Annie Oakley.
"She's running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment, she's talking like she's Annie Oakley! Hillary Clinton's out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday, she's packin' a six shooter! C'mon! She knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton. I want to see that picture of her out there in the duck blinds."

Bill Clinton Claims To See Nonexistent "I'm Not Bitter" Signs
Our ability to live comfortably began it's deterioration under Reagan. We were given a good start toward recovery during the Clinton years, but Bush was able to wipe that out and cut twice as deep into our financial classes as his father had.
I'd like to have our recovery term managed by someone who has more experience than Obama does. All politicians are liars, and give us a pack of rhetoric. But, we have a history of 8 years with the Clinton's, and the economy did a remarkable turn. The Clinton's truly have dedicated their lives to helping the middle and lower classes. No one trashes the Kennedy's for being rich, so I'm at a loss for why the extreme level of hatred for the Clintons.
I'm thinking most of the people who post here as Obama supporters are really Republicans trying to make sure Clinton supporters don't vote for him should he be the one who gets the nomination. posted 04/15/2008 at 00:53:10

This SHOULD have derailed Obama's "I'm not going to tell you anything" campaign. How he handles it is just as important as the statement itself. So far, he's just throwing stones at the messengers, playing the victim, and trying to change the subject to whatever nasty things he can come up with against the other candidates.
This topic came up because of something Obama said all by himself. It isn't about McCain's slow to respond acceptance of the housing crisis, or a shame on Hillary. Hillary didn't put this article out there, and it didn't get out to the public because everyone in attendance thought it was an innocent remark not to be taken seriously.
His supporters are terrified he is going to keep making these kinds of statements, and, if he really is that arrogant, I sincerely hope he does. He wants to be our president.

What if he is this clumsy with his words when he is running off to talk to leaders of hostile nations without a script? posted 04/15/2008 at 00:14:02
You are so right. The only thing that's important is that every single democrat just take Obama at his word, doesn't matter what we think of him, and it's none of our business what he thinks of us.

The complete audio recording of his speech is online. If you are having difficulty with the smell of fish by reading it, listen to the speech yourself. If you still don't understand, send an email to the Obama campaign headquarters and ask them to clarify. posted 04/14/2008 at 23:58:07
So, it's okay if your chosen candidate carries contempt for people he has deemed racist, lazy, and bitter as long as it doesn't come out until he is making policy decisions that will punish them for it. Vetting is the process of finding out the truth of who the candidates are. You might not like it, but plenty of undecideds are grateful for all the information they can get.
You will just have to trust the American people to sort through all the information they get on the candidates when they make their decision on who to give their vote to. Maybe even with the same passion you demand your right to just trust him without anything to really base it on.
You are so scared of this story, that it makes me think you are very uncomfortable about your candidate. posted 04/14/2008 at 23:51:58

A bit self-righteous, really.
I'm pretty sure everyone who writes on this blog watches and reads enough news to keep up with the Iraq casualties, complete with a very strong sense of sadness for their families, friends, and fellow soldiers. It's not like the subject under discussion isn't vetting the candidates who want to be the next Commander In Chief over this war.

So, it makes it okay that Obama called the people of rural PA racists, lazy and bitter as long as that attitude was confined to a group of less than the size of a major city. Why his supporters are so afraid to have him vetted for who he is while he asks all of us to allow him the privilege of becoming our president is hard for me to understand.
You want to find out AFTER he is in the White House that he has nothing but contempt for you? I'm not saying he does, I'm merely trying to give you an idea of why I want to know who he really is. If it takes citizen journalists to share with the country what he says to smaller groups in what is thought to be a private setting where the candidates may feel more comfortable in letting out a truth or two, then, so be it. posted 04/14/2008 at 23:39:33

So, you don't feel that Obama needs to be vetted. It's okay that he can make blanket judgments against a large segment of the population without much more than a day on the farm, and a stop at the bowling alley to base it on. You are not interested in whether or not he will be able to listen (and get it right) to the poor, the rich, and everyone in between without passing judgments that will deter his ability to make good choices for all Americans.

The factorys in question here have been closed now for 25 some years. When you read an article, do you just read every 10th word?
The issue is that Obama USED the people in these small towns to pander to a closed-door, millionaire/billionaire only crowd of people who were there to shake his hand for a mere $2,300 / $1,000 entrance fee. He went to 4 mansions that day, 300-400 people PER event. He was speaking to a group of elite people, though not all would necessarily have an elitist attitude.
To top it off, there's a play in his speech that has only been mentioned by Tim Russert during yesterday's Meet the Press. Obama brought out the race card against these people. Now, for all you who like to say it is the Clinton's who keep that card in play, read on. If you prefer to hear it yourself, go to the MTP web site and watch, or read the transcript yourself.
"He was asked, according to his campaign, could he appeal to blue collar voters? And this was his answer: Everyone "just" describes "it to `white working-class don't wanna work--don't wanna vote for the black guy.' "
Nice, eh? posted 04/14/2008 at 12:19:59

Not the least bit of truth in that statement. Anyone can be a snob. And the wealthy are not necessarily elitists. Have you never known someone worth a sizeable fortune who you had no idea was wealthy? And, others with an attitude they were so much better than others, but they didn't have two nickles?
Obama is a wealthy man, you know. He's certainly wealthy enough to be in the "lots of money" category.
His wife complains about the $10,000 a year it costs them to keep the girls in piano lessons and summer camp, though. posted 04/14/2008 at 12:00:43

Actually, if you go back and find the transcript you'll see that Barack did inject his race card stating these people of PA didn't want to hear this from a 46 year old black man.
So, when the Obama supporters who want so much to believe that the Clinton's are the ones putting race into this election process, remember that the Clinton campaign has not even attempted to bring that part of the speech to the forefront. Tim Russert, however, did include that paragraph on Meet the Press this morning. If you want to see it for yourself, go to MSNBC Meet the Press and watch the broadcast. posted 04/14/2008 at 02:13:51

You're going to have to ask him why he took so long to pay off those loans. He made millions on his books and could easily have paid those loans off some 5+ years ago.
Obama is also a millionaire, and without having done a thing for this country. His wife worked on corporate boards that are tightly connected to Wal-Mart, and only quit because she knew it would be a problem in the run for president. They have their hands out to the very wealthy all the time. You think Obama isn't counting on getting at least as much from a chance at the presidency as Clinton has from his?
The Clintons were not wealthy when they took office, and for you to show such extreme jealousy that the one president we've had in 3 decades who brought some prosperity to everyone is now enjoying a prosperous lifestyle is patently absurd. They've made $50M+ just on their books, paid plenty in taxes, and the remaining millions divided across 7 years is reasonable for an ex-president. They don't owe you an explanation for that. posted 04/13/2008 at 23:09:48
