Yeah, the Neo-Con goons will talk about some stupid loan Non-Story, But they’ll completely ignore the fact the United States tortured detainees with techniques they learned from China.
Yeah, I read it, enough to know that it is big on accusations and little on substance. With a mention of Rezko tossed in for good measure. Kind of like the majority of the stories coming out about Obama.
When Obama spanks the collective asses of the G.O.P. in November, it will be because of the blatant stupidity of the Neo-Conservative right that has milinged the Conservative cause in this country.
Quite frankly, I wish November were tommorow.

According to the Selective Service System, under the authority of the Military Selective Service Act (Act of June 24, 1948, c. 625, 62 Stat. 604, as amended; 50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.):
A man must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal government and the U.S. Postal Service. Proof of registration is required only for men born after December 31, 1959.
The registration requirement was suspended in April 1975. It was resumed again in 1980 by President Carter in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Registration continues today as a hedge against underestimating the number of servicemen needed in a future crisis.
1-103. Persons born in calendar year 1961 shall present themselves for registration on any of the six days beginning Monday, July 28, 1980. (Source).
The obligation of a man to register is imposed by the Military Selective Service Act. The Act establishes and governs the operations of the Selective Service System.
Barack Obama, who states he was born in Aug. 1961, was required to register for the Selective Service in 1980. Did he?
Efforts to confirm his registration have been unsuccessful, and Sen. Obama has failed thus far to offer proof of registration, or authorize the SSS to release this information to the general public. It is in the public’s interest to know whether a potential president followed the law during his lifetime.
Sen. Obama can lay this issue to rest immediately by providing proof of his Selective Service registration, which is reqiured to serve in the Executive Branch. The President of the United States of America is the head of the Executive Branch of government. There has been plenty of obfuscation surrounding the matter of Sen. Obama’s birth certification. Hopefully the question of his Selective Service registration will be resolved more swiftly.
And that Typical White grandmother he threw under the bus ,isn’t in the picture is she?
((Maggie, I’ll let you comment here…. but I will not allow you to promote anti-obama smear websites here. Sorry, just the way it is…. Most of those sites are run by Hillary supports, of whom I also detest. I haven’t forgotten about what happened at waco in the 1990’s… -Pat))
Maggie,
I assume you are a Hillary supporter, I will assure you, I detest Hillary Clinton as much as I detest B. Hussein Obama. I have not forgotten about what the Clinton Administration did to those Christians in Waco Texas in the 1990’s.
So, if you’re here to defend here and make Barry look bad, don’t bother. I think they both suck.

Little on substance?
The story says Obama got a loan twice as big as anyone else could get at an interest rate much lower than most people could get without paying any of the usual fees most people pay. This happened just after he took his new seat in the US senate.
The story says that the loan was used by Obama to buy a $2 million house and the owner cut the price of the house by nearly half a million dollars just for Obama. The owner then sold his adjoining property to Obama’s key campaign money man, who’s now been sent to prison for multiple counts of corruption, for full price. The money man, Tony Rezko, then sold part of that property to Obama and the rest for a profit.
It appears that Obama used his influence to coerce a bank into a sweetheart loan deal, maybe in exchange for promises of rewards from DC. It further appears that Rezko corruptly orchestrated the translation so as to save Obama hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and fees, setting him up in a mansion.
And, again, Rezko has now been sent to prison.
It’s hard to understand how you can call George Bush to account for dishonesty and yet accept it so blithely from another contender for the presidency.
(next time you comment here, please, refrain from spamming my blog, with a link to your blogging service…. thank you -P)
Well Kim, it’s like this here.
There was ZERO proof of any of these accusations.
Just some paper CLAIMING it.
When I see documents, then I’ll believe it.
Until this, it’s just another B.S. Neo-Con smear.
Thanks for reading!
