Political Punch

The Greek here in Connecticut hate him. Everyone knows the Greeks in Chi-town are a little off.

Did he bring his teleprompter to the table?

Party down. So what if the banks are tanking?

Does Jake ever write about politics or just E! entertainment stuff?

American-Greeks for OBAMA. Hopa-Hopa! Republicans and Bush are finished!
McCain isn’t Hope just Dope!

thetruth: No one was responsible but Wall St. themselves. Their wrong decisions caused themselves their own disaster. Bush did not cause it and the democrats didn't cause. Company's destroy themselves by the choices they make. That's like the foreclosures. Buyer's caused their own destruction by not putting at least 30% or more down and Banks should not have given the loan with no money or 5% down. All of this is caused by the people themselves.

This Greek American will not be voting for Obama and I doubt very few Greek Americans will.

Greek-Americans love Obama because he’s Democrats nominee, and as we know Greece was the birthplace of Democracy. Also was an opportunity for Obama to learn more about the dirty tactics of the Republicans during the electoral campaign. I believe Michael Dukakis have plenty to say about this. Plus Greeks make great parties and they are fun .Something what Obama need at this point of time.
Barack Obama! Gia Proedros Zito Hopa!

"And you call ABC in the tank!"

If it were just me, you might have a case. The numbers who believe that the MSM is over the mark in this election are extraordinary.

I don't think it is helping him. It's making voters mad. See Oprah's ratings. The MSM has hurt itself in this election.

The debates will shape the final numbers.

"while the Wall Street Journal writes about the depth of Obama's relationship to Ayers"

1 day after the McCain campaign's whining conference call asking reporters to cover it.

And you call ABC in the tank!

McCains Oil companies asked Mccain to deregulate bank and oil companies back in the 80's, so the Tycoons can play Take-Over with America. The same Tycoons, who still Advise him today, control oil stocks. They raise oil prices, so people can not afford their homes and business heating and gas. Then they sweep in and buy you out.
Will McCain succeed?
Only YOU can educate youself, on his advisors.
Vote 'NO', to McCain.

Giannoulias Oversaw $11.8 Million In Mortgages Made To Giorango.
"Questioned by the Tribune in March about loans made between 1994
and 2002, Giannoulias said those deals were approved before he became a
full-time bank employee. But the Tribune reported Sunday that newly
discovered public records show Broadway Bank made $11.8 million in
additional mortgage loans to Giorango just last year. Giannoulias said
he oversaw the servicing of those loans." (Rick Pearson and David
Jackson, "Obama Leans On Treasurer Nominee," Chicago Tribune,
4/13/06)

-- Giannoulias Claimed That He Thought The Property Was For Condos, But
Records Show That Giorango Used A Portion Of The Loans To Purchase A
Casino Boat Marina. "In March, Giannoulias said Broadway Bank
'never financed any casinos. We never did anything like that.'
But newly obtained records show that $3.6 million of the recent loans
were used by Giorango and another convicted felon to acquire a casino
boat marina in Myrtle Beach, S.C.Giannoulias said he thought that
property was for condos." (Rick Pearson and
David Jackson, "Obama Leans On Treasurer Nominee," Chicago
Tribune, 4/13/06)

NOTE: Rezko's Casino Debt Was Partially Obtained By Writing Bad Checks On His Account At Alexi Giannoulias' Broadway Bank. "Rezko allegedly accumulated $450,000 in debts to CaesarsPalaceand Bally's Hotel Casino between March and July 2006. He passed nine bad checks and got hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash or gaming chips in return, Roger said. The bad checks, written on Rezko's Broadway Bank account, were for amounts ranging from $15,000 to $120,000." (Natasha Korecki and Chris Fusco, "Rezko Wanted In Vegas For $450,000 In Debts," Chicago Sun-Times, 5/30/08 )

Kevin...no matter who gets in there,we will need to have financial adjustments done. The Reps got us in this, I don't feel REAL secure about them running the show for 4 more year....

So now we see Obama endorsing a man that the Chicago press has labeled a mobster, while the Wall Street Journal writes about the depth of Obama's relationship to Ayers and the mischief perpetrated by this pair distributing monies to groups with radical agendas instead of the schools targeted unless the schools accommodated the radical agendas.

Meanwhile ABC describes the Chicago event like a community love fest, ignores the Wall Street Journal article and features a piece on John McCain's fling from five decades ago?

Not in the tank? Objective? I didn't think it could get less professional at ABC but I was wrong. Creepier and creepier.

Samantha...let's open the flood gates and see how McCain handling the Keating Five situation....

Obama will win! Even George Will thinks McCain is senile.....not fit to be president.It was no ABC's SUnday with George S.

Samantha, McCain is tainted is you know very well. Even now he is in the pocket of lobbyists during his 26 years in Washington DC. You should be concerned about that big dark spot in his life. How many houses he has? How many cars he has? He has never worked to be bale to have all that wealth. Out of touch McWBush.

Wake up America.... pray BHO does not get elected. You think the economy is feeling the pinch now, if he gets elected employers will have to reduce staff, lower pay and raise prices in order to keep up with the taxes he will impose.

No hope of the american dream will be left.

Great headline? What about "McCain gets one commercial correct, Obama returns to roots at Chicago political machine fundraiser at $28K/plate. Mobsters abound."

A bit wordy for a headline but far more accurate than a 6 minute love fest.

Great headline

Hey, Obumbles, these folks can write a check to the IRS instead of you.

Oh thats funny. obama dropped out of public financing because his campaign was fueled by the little people donating a dollar or two. If by dollar or two he meant $28,000 a head. Change you can hope in!

What devotion - a six minute speech. Did he use a telepromptor?

Alexi Giannoulias—a "man who has long been dogged by charges that the bank his family owns helped finance a Chicago crime figure" and "who became Illinois state treasurer" in 2006 after Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) Giannoulias vouched for him"—"pledged to raise $100,000 for Obama.

The September 5, 2007, Chicago fundraiser was omitted from Obama's public schedule and the event was closed to the press," Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

"Before he promised to raise funds for Obama, Giannoulias bankrolled Michael 'Jaws' Giorango, a Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution.

"Giannoulias is so tainted by reputed mob links that several top Illinois Dems, including the state's speaker of the House and party chairman, refused to endorse him even after he won the Democratic nomination with Obama's help.

"Giannoulias was the bank's vice president and chief loan officer for most of the more than $15 million in loans," Hurt wrote. although "he was not charged with breaking any laws. The Obama campaign disputed any suggestion that Obama is tarnished by the association."
