Media is doing the usual Sean Hannity is now focusing his attack on Obama's autobiography where he discusses his High school life thus questioning his morals. Which is kind of ironic seeing how McCain his current wife while still married, but w/e. Let's not forget that McCain is married to woman who is, as he says, a cunt who plasters on her makeup like a trollop. | ||

"They chose a house with six bedrooms, four fireplaces, a four-car garage and 5 1/2 baths, including a double steam shower and a marble powder room. It had a wine cellar, a music room, a library, a solarium, beveled glass doors and a granite-floored kitchen." This is my concern here. Man of the people, eh? Now I know Obama has worked very hard for all of his success, but I don't see as such a strident populist how he justifies such a mansion. I guess he's feeling cramped in his half-million dollar condo. | ||

On Monday, John McCain's campaign released a statement signed by 300 economists who "enthusiastically support" his "Jobs for America" economic plan. There's just one problem. Politico reports, "Upon closer inspection, it seems a good many of those economists don't actually support the whole of McCain's economic agenda. And at least one doesn't even support McCain for president." In interviews with several signatories, Politico found that, "far from embracing McCain's economic plan, many were unfamiliar with -- or downright opposed to -- key details. While most of those contacted by Politico had warm feelings about McCain, many did not want to associate themselves too closely with his campaign and its policy prescriptions." What's more, the statement signed by the economists didn't even mention two critical planks McCain's economic argument: "the gas tax holiday and his promise to balance the budget by the end of his first term -- there's literally nothing in the release that mentions the deficit or national debt." Indeed, the Huffington Post surveyed economists from across the political spectrum and couldn't find a single one who supports two of McCain's signature economic/energy positions: increased off-shore drilling and a gas tax holiday. Why is the media not reporting this. Also GeneralStan if you have perfect credit like Obama has, he or anyone can pretty much buy any damn thing he wants. Awkward? McCain jokes about killing Iranians with cigarettes /Facepalm | ||

I think he fully deserves that house. He's worked hard, that's for sure, and I truly respect the way he chose to go to Chicago as a community organizer rather than take a cushy job in a big law firm (which as editor of Harvard Law, he could have any job he wanted). I think that most people will probably look at it this way, but there's still the unfortunate perception that he's cashed in on recent fame with a mansion. | ||

Imagine how good he would look if he gave a million dollars to a Chicago area homeless shelter | ||
