Is Obama's past catching up to him?

Is Obama's past catching up to him?

Postby Realdebate on 06/13/07, 8:12 pm

The Chicago Sun Times is all over the relationship between Obama and Indicted Illinois political operative Tony Rezko.
Startling new information today.

Ask yourselves if this was any of the front running Republican candidates wouldn't this be all over the drive-by media?

They will protect their guy Obama though...

This will not come out nationally until Hillary wants it to.

I agree he's the sacred cow now, and we aren't going to hear any 'true' criticism coming from the drive-bys..  It's amazing though, once his purpose is served, I predict they will turn on him to try and push Shrillary into the white house.

Maybe so but I can guarantee you Hillary is dancing here.  There is nothing she would like more than to have Obama on her ticket as VP bringing his support along with hers.  

She is salivating over the money the Clinton/Obama ticket could raise.
However, if she has to trash Obama to win the nomination it will make it very difficult for her to put Obama on the ticket with her.

Ah the Hillary dance, sit back and watch folks, if Obama needs to be knocked down a notch, she will have someone else do it.

I know that's a popular theory right now, but I really doubt we will ever see an "Clinton & Obama" ticket.  

I don't consider myself a sexist or a racist, but we've never had a woman or minority as president of the US, and I don't think the DEM's will risk a presidential election with both.  Whichever of those two wins the nomination, they will be backed up by someone like a Kerry or and Edwards.  The LIBS preach equality, but they never utilize it when it will cost them power.

Another Rezko story in the Sun Times yesterday.  Obama lied about how much money he has had donated from Rezko.

Obama's past may yet come into play.  Of course the "Drive By Media" will do everything they can to prevent this.  

It is interesting that Hillary's recent "negative" attempts have been so idiotic that she may in fact inoculate Obama from valid criticism.  I don't think that was her intent but we all know about unintended consequences.  

The idiocy of the Clinton campaign in the last two weeks has been astounding.  Quoting kindergarten teachers, announcing they have something “big,” pointing out that the Republicans might use Obama’s history of drug use against him.  Wow!  Talk about inept from the people who perfected the “politics of personal destruction” in the 90s.  The next thing you know they will be talking about Obama’s ears.
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
