Obama Earmarks For Wife’s Employer, Big Donor
Fri, 03/14/2008 - 16:00 — Judicial Watch Blog

Barack Obama touts himself as the only presidential candidate not corrupted by Washington politics but his earmark record contradicts that because he tried steering millions of federal dollars to his wife’s employer and the company of a top campaign donor.

Recently released earmarks reveal that the Democratic presidential candidate requested $1 million for the hospital that employs his wife Michelle and $8 million for a military contractor with a board member who has given hefty sums to his campaign.

The $1 million was requested in 2006 to build a new pavilion at the University of Chicago Hospitals, where Michelle Obama was vice president of community affairs. Michelle had already benefited from her husband’s flourishing political career with a huge salary increase that went from $121,910 in 2004 before he was elected to the Senate to $316,962 in 2005 just after he took office.

Obama requested the $8 million for weapons technology manufactured by a big defense contractor (General Dynamics) with very close ties to a major fundraiser named James Crown, a billionaire who also serves on the company’s board. Crown is also on Obama’s national finance committee.

The good senator also got nearly $1 million federal dollars for the renovation of a space center named after Crown’s grandfather, Henry, at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. A complete list of Obama’s earmark record has been posted on his web site.

Were these earmarks for hope or earmarks for change? Given his entrenchment in Chicago, Cook County and Illinois politics I would say "Hope  for favors, and change in the campaign coffers." Could Scarlett Johansons' breasts be wrong about the great American hope for change?

Obama never heard Wright utter an anti-American or racist remark despite listening to him for 20 years from the pulpit?


Worth repeating:

Once again we are asked to suspend our disbelief, discard our common sense and ignore the man behind the curtain.

Is there anyone stupid enough to believe that statement? Of course there is! MILLIONS of them in fact.

We get the government we deserve.

You may be surprised but there are Catholics out there that never knew the parish priest was a pedophile. It just never came up (ptp). Til later.

[Toad]

I doubt there are many Catholic priests that have various scenes of their buggery while standing in the pulpit playing out in 30 second video clips on the national news either. Would have been pretty hard to miss if you attended that Catholic for 20 years.

Although I seriously think Steve Howe needs to be hit upside the head sometimes the way he likes to change riffs up when he's playing live. 

I hate it when they do that.  One of the reasons I'm not a fan of "Live" albums

I wish you guys would stop tearing down my main man, Obama.  He is the deliverer of change, the provider of hope, the son of God as revealed to us in a blazing light of pure joy and eternal happiness.

Long live Obama!  King of Kings!  Father of all earths children!

some of those quotes are funny stuff..

#4 Adee, it’s a delicate balance, especially when you’re rolling on the floor laughing at the thought of a room full of self-loathing, new-age hippies in a circle banging on drums to summon Gaia’s powers to propel their Nubian Prince into the presidency.

How old is the clip again and how many are there over the last twenty years?

We are all held accountable for everything anyone associated with us throughout our lifetime has ever done. When we're running for office and the opposition is desperate enough.

But to nail that coffin and since you don't mind repeating yourself, let's once again pour over the transcript of the sermon, compare it to Obama's final word on it and see how much steam's left in the "Black guy hates whitey - don't vote for him!" train.

Interesting question. Many have noticed that the various clips of Reverend Wright which were popping up on youtube are being removed at a remarkably fast rate. Wonder why? Try to find one there of his 10 point speech why don't you?

That would be the liberal form of information control

Obviously a conspiracy brought on by this very thread.

So by your Catholic comparison, a priest that only buggered one altar boy a long time ago isn't a pedophile?

I think the desperation is on your end of this discussion.

It is undeniable that Wright is a racist of the very worst sort. It's also undeniable that he was Obama's pastor for 20 years, that he married Obama, baptised his children and has been a personal friend. These facts all from Obama himself.

Again, no white candidate could survive such a situation if his long time white pastor spoke against the blacks in such terms as Wright uses/has used on far more than one occasion.

Is that what you got from that? This may go a long ways as to how you came to the conclusion that Obama's a racist. Just sayin'.

[Toad]

Just sayin' nuthin' there.

Find a post where I called Obama a racist.

There's a challenge for YOU.

You routinely dis people for lack of reading comprehension; see if you can actually figure out what I posted, not what you think I posted. There's another challenge for you. G'luck!

Well then what are you saying? Obama shouldn't be elected because someone else other than him is a racist? Good job there.
