#1 What about the letter that you (Obama) wrote supporting taxpayer funding for a Rezko development of an old folks home worth $14,000,000 in taxpayer funds?

Explain please how you could have afforded a $2,600,000 home on the salaries that you and Michelle had at the time? Why did the sellers give you a $300,000 discount? How could Mrs. Rezko afford to kick in $125,000 having no substantial assets?

Why is the wife of a Rezko associate Nahdmi Auchi (a british Iraqi national indicted for corruption and a rezko business development partner) donating to your campaigns?

Is it a coincidence that Auchi - the former bagman in the oil for food scandal is a business associate of Rezko who was one of your political fundraisers?

#4 Man, the media must feel like schizophrenics without their meds, having to take turns cutting their darlings down.

#5 I think it's a bit rich calling Obama "Prince" when Hitlary is related to a former President (Bush the Younger too).

Political dynasties create plutocracies.

#6 I'm glad someone is finally asking some semi-soft questions now. Both Hiltary (I'm stealing that phrase!) and Obama-boom-boom need to be pressed on their records, or lack thereof.

#8 So the donk candidates spent hugh amounts of money beating up on each other to try to get the nomination. Meanwhile, McCain is developing strategy and building up the war chest. What's the problem?

#11 After Ohio and Texas, a Democratic race to the line
Senator Clinton won Ohio comfortably with 55 per cent to 43 per cent, and the Texas primary by 51 to 47 per cent. She did well in the Latino belt along the Texas/Mexico border.

But she still trails Senator Obama on the delegate count by roughly 100 votes - she will gain on him by only nine to 15 delegates as a result of her win in Ohio and looked set to go backwards in Texas. Senator Obama appeared to be leading in the initial count of the Texas caucuses, which determine one-third of the Texas delegate haul.

Suck it up Dem voters. One man - One vote doesn't apply to you rubes. BTW, how's the election for the Super-delegates going? What? They're not selected, not elected. Just like the Dems tried to do for Al Gore in 2000.

I also wonder how Obama's finances are doing? The cash burn must to awful. During this just ended primary I saw 2-3 times more Obama commercials than Clinton's. That's not counting union ads proclaiming Obama the new messiah (take that Mohamed).

#13 The news on the way home said nobody thought Michigan and Florida would matter. Didn't Hitlery win those two?
