Question by Spots^..^B4myeyes: How much corruption is acceptable?
Barack Obama helped secure a $ 25,000 grant for the Blue Gargoyle in August 2000, an organization that was headed by Capers C. Funnye, Jr., Michelle Obama’s first cousin once removed.
Obama as the Illinois Senator reportedly received a home loan of $ 1.32 million at a rate of 5.625 percent, although the average going rate on that day according to two different surveys was between 5.93 and 6 percent. Unlike what was reportedly available for the general consumer, this special below-market “super super jumbo” loan was secured without an origination fee or discount points. (Questions about the mortgage were first raised by The Washington Post.)
Barack Obama’s “squeaky clean” reputation is again being tarnished by shady entrepreneurs who have supported him financially, this time a convicted Iraqi billionaire who funneled millions to the Illinois senator in 2005.
A British newspaper has published a lengthy story on the scandal, which connects the Democratic presidential candidate and his indicted longtime Syrian financial supporter (currently on trial for corruption) with one of Britain’s richest people, a criminal Iraqi guru named Nadhmi Auchi.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has blasted Hillary Clinton for withholding her First Lady records while he repeatedly ignores requests to release his own lengthy state legislative records.
Obama served eight years in the Illinois State Senate and several media outlets, as well as Judicial Watch, have tried through public requests to obtain his records to no avail.
The Illinois Office of the Secretary of State states it doesn’t have the senator’s records and that it has “received no requests from Senator Obama to archive any records formerly in his possession.”
In other words, Obama could easily make his state legislator records available to the public by having them archived but has chosen not to. Instead, he has offered several stories relating to the documents since announcing his presidential candidacy.
Barack Obama finally was forced to answer questions about his close ties to a domestic terrorist who planted bombs in the Capitol, Pentagon and other government buildings to protest U.S. policy.
During the nationally televised debate in Pennsylvania, Obama was cornered into addressing his decades-long relationship with William Ayers, a Vietnam-era radical and former fugitive from U.S. justice who has proudly admitted setting the bombs in the 1970s.
Ayers, a professor at a public university in Chicago, was a member of the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground and he has publicly said that he doesn’t regret setting the bombs and that his violent group actually “didn’t do enough.” In fact, he still proudly sports a tattoo on his neck featuring the rainbow and lightning weatherman logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for the bombings.
Ayers and his wife, a fellow Weather Underground terrorist, have long supported and collaborated with Obama, donating money to his campaign and hosting fundraising events at their home. The Democratic presidential candidate and aging radical hang out in the same political and social circles, live in the same Chicago neighborhood and for years served on the board of a Chicago nonprofit.
According the August 8 edition of The New York Times, Accountable America, a liberal group, plans to send a letter “to confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions…The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.
The group is also hoping to be able to respond if an outside conservative group broadcasts a television advertisement attacking Senator Barack Obama, or another Democratic candidate, by running commercials exposing the donors behind the advertisements.”
Attempts to intimidate individuals from participating in the presidential campaign can be a violation of federal law. A key federal civil rights law (42 U.S.C. § 1985(3)), popularly known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, may be applicable if “two or more persons conspire to prevent by force, intimidation, or threat, any citizen who is lawfully entitled to vote, from giving his support or advocacy in a legal manner, toward or in favor of the election of any lawfully qualified person as an elector for President or Vice President, or as a Member of Congress of the United States; or to injure any citizen in person or property on account of such support or advocacy.”
The chairman of an Islamic “charity” shut down by the U.S. government for funding Middle Eastern terrorists has dedicated himself to raising money for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
With his Ohio-based terrorist funding operation closed, Hatem El-Hady has committed to raising substantial funds for

If you’re a Republican…the sky’s the limit, apparently. Just consider the past 8 years of the Bush administration.
We have had puppets in the White House for years, so our new president will still have others pulling his strings and writing his Q-cards anyway, be he black, white, old, young, an elegant speaker with limited experiance, or a grumpy grampa (maverick wannabe) type. Greed and corruption have been running the U.S. for years, but it is slowly learning that it can’t squeeze blood from a turnip. If the economy completely collapses, even the filthy rich have learned they can’t continue robbing from middle and lower class at the current rate. Why do you think gas prices have come down? People are easily fooled into thinking this is still a democracy. Granted, we still have freedom of religion or speech to some degree, although those who cross the line will be silenced at some point. The U.S. government has become a cancerous growth on the economy as well, and those in power (with the money) know it’s time for change (where does Obama come up with all the campaign funding?).
None, and I do not need to read your essay to tell you that.
Anycoruption is too much but I am amazed what the press the democrat party and some high law officials is allowing Obama to get by with.This man has has his name connected to so many terriost, radicals drugs
you name it he has been mentioned. If this allowed to continue this country is going down the tubes.
I wwas surprised to see one of his pastors telling of Obamas bad side.
This man has the makings of a dictator. I don’t know how much the country will take of this but I hope they wake up from their trance soon and see him for what he is.
He stands for nothing this country was founded on.
If one third of the things Obama has committed, was committed by john McCain he would be hung out to dry.
I wish someone could tell me how this is allowed to happen.
All they have to do is ask themselves how a poor man was in senate for two years managed to buy a million dollar house and another tract of land toexpand his property. How he can now throw a million dollars to the wind. What’s wrong with this picture. He must have spread all the weath his way.Worse why are they ignoring his ties with the people that would love nothing better than the fall of our country. Do they think this is a joke? If they don’t wake up soon it may be too late.
