Just ONE of Obama's dirty tricks.
Now promoting himself as a fresh face, on the national political stage, proclaiming his distance from lobbyists and the Washington culture of special interests Sen Obama has to content with his own history. From Chicago to Springfield, his past is filled with decidedly old school political tactics a history of befriending powerful local elders, assisting benefactors and special interest and neutralizing rivals. Dan Marain..Los Angelos Times.


Alice Powell who held state office in Illinois, asked Obama to file to run from the seat she was vacating while she ran for a higher seat. When she was defeated, she asked Obama to vacate his run so she could retain the seat. Not only did he cover his run, he filed suit so her declaration to run would be overturned. And stood silent and said he was a bystander.

I have scads and scads of these reports. I am so sick and so tired of the Hillary bashers I ran the internet and have copies them all and do not worry they will all be posted to counter the hate and vile from his supporters.

2. She submitted bogus petitions, and he challenged them
and won.

It's called the rule of law. Boo hoo.

8. bitwit you nitwit
you have just described a politician. they are called old schooll tactics because it works. And should we feel sorry for this Alice Powell ? She asked and he did it, she looses and then whines about it. If that seat was important for her, why did she run for another one.

nitwit is a hillary supporter and thinks the job is for hillary and all others should bow down. If you have scads and scads then present some proof. One can find scads and scads on hillary on google!

9. "I am so sick and so tired of the Hillary bashers"
That you have chosen to emulate them.

Call it what it is, you've chosen to become exactly like those you profess to find distasteful. It's your choice, but don't expect people to take what you say seriously.

10. please provide links on alice powell
and the scads and scads of reports you have. maybe if you would provide them then i`d reconsider voting for him when he runs for senate again. if he is as bad as you are hinting at then i assume the republican who will run against him could`t be any worse.

12. It amazes me that ANY of you shit-catapulters think youre helping your candidate.
Self-delusion is the first refuge of a scoundrel.

13. Each candidate should be judged on their own merits
To bring Hillary Clinton into this in any way is just not appropriate.

Now, as to the rest of your point. You make some substantive criticisms yet fail to cite any of them. I've never heard any of the stuff you're talking about, but since they aren't cited I'm going to give them the same weight I'd give to any anonymous rumor - very little.

14. Why bother people? He doesn't have a chance.
Do you honestly believe the same America that voted for Bush is going to turn around an vote for a "black guy"?

15. So is he inexperienced or not?
If you jokers are going to keep calling him "inexperienced" he's going to turn it around and say he's a fresh face.

Now you're saying he's not a fresh face because he's got all this experience and expertise at politics?

Trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth, eh?

Well, that explains why you're a Clinton fan.

16. Replace Obama's name with Hillary's, and this thread would have a thousand recommendations.
It would be number one on the "Greatest" page.
