Don't
let me go more than one day without an Obama Post because my Inbox will
crash the server with all these articles. Here are a select few and by
few I mean a ton.
Rapper Russell Simmons got upset that Obama criticized the degradation of women in rap videos and music. Russell thinks they are poets. Would he consider it poetry if someone was referring to his two daughters as bitches & hos? Or his wife/ex-wife. Enough said about that one. ABC News: Rap Mogul Takes On Obama
------------------------
Does the Chicago Sun Times have a problem with Obama? I thought the Tribune was the conservative paper. Either way, the Sun Times, Chicago's junior paper, researches Barry's former ties with some slumlord name Rezco. Barack Obama and his slumlord patron - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. To be fair, it's Chicago. It's hard to do business without somebody shady weaving into it. It's part of the culture!
------------------------
More
on how Barry is taking all those blacks that Hillary thought owed her
something. Can you just imagine how many pins she is sticking into voo
doo dolls right now? I almost feel for her. Obama’s Rise Strains Loyalty on Clinton Turf - New York Times. This should probably be in a Hillary post instead of here, but I'm too lazy to make one.

Apparently the story is so interesting, they had to do it in two parts. Why didn't City Hall stop him? - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
Obama's response was that he didn't know Rezko was a sleaze so leave him alone. Obama: I didn't know about Rezko problems - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

Thanks to Rikyrah for sending me this article on Michelle, Barack's rock Chicago Tribune,
giving us more reasons to like him. Good taste in women is worth half a
vote. Now if he could move a little to the center/right, he could get
the other half. I will say that Michelle is an assertive, blunt woman
and that will probably rub some people who will think a wife should be
softer and less outspoken.

This
is the second article in the last two weeks I have seen trying to place
Obama and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, together. The last one
accused Barry of copping all of Patrick's speeches, which I doubt was
true. This one, Daily Herald: The Kindred Rise of Obama, Patrick, suggest they are kindred spirits because they both went to Harvard. "Both
candidates share similar life stories, rising from modest means with
the help of family and education. For Obama, it meant Columbia
University before Harvard Law School, where he was the first black
president of the Harvard Law Review. For Patrick, who grew up in the
shadow of the Robert Taylor Homes housing project in Chicago, it meant
Milton Academy before Harvard University and Harvard Law." Has this writer read Dreams of My Father? They don't share similar life stories at all.

Thomas
Freidman is still in Africa, trying to find more ways to make $$ off
that book that has sold more copies than there are human beings on the
planet. He talks about how, while in Kenya, his wife saw a poster of
Barry & Michelle while they were in Nairobi a long time ago to
encouraging people to get HIV tested. Also, a bunch of people are
trying to put together some kind of party for him. It isn't clear
whether they expected him to come. Everyone Tom meets shows him their
picture with Obama and it gets Tom to thinking, when was the last time
an American leader was looked at as a role model abroad? Well, it's
been a while, but Clinton was loved like a rock star when he was the
prez. Help Wanted - New York Times.

The NYTimes Blog talks about Obama's 5-Point American Moment, the title of his recent speech giving his views on foreign policy. Obama Outlines His Foreign Policy Views - New York Times
----------------------------------
The
Iowa Citizen Action Network is a 14,000 member organization that had
Obama speak recently. They were frustrated by the war, health care,
jobs going over seas...the list is too long, you know it all. Obama
told them that these frustrations can become catalysts for change and
some other stuff that should probably be on a bumper sticker.
"Look
at these challenges and it's tempting to get discouraged, but one of
the things is to be convinced that they can be solved," Obama said.
"These problems are not the result of impersonal forces. These are
decisions made every day by people. People just like you and me, except
they've been in Washington too long." Obama shared his experiences with
effecting change at the local level while serving as a community
organizer for neighborhoods affected by steel mill closings in
Chicago's far south side. Inspired by the civil rights movement of the
1960s, he took the $13,000-a-year job upon graduating from Columbia
University.

Yahoo! News reports that Obama said Bush falls short as world leader.
One of the most obvious statements of the decade, second only to, "I
love my Mom." People, you don't have to make a news piece out of
everything the man says.
Also in Iowa, now
that he's gotten a taste of it thanks to all the haters in the media,
Obama doesn't think dirty politics are a good idea. Obama calls for end of 'harmful politics' - The Daily Iowan. That might be obvious statement #3.
-------------------------------------
The Tribune laid out Obama's views on the environment and if he thinks the entire planet will be under water in 20 years or 40. Obama strong on environment Chicago Tribune
Also, there were somewhere near 50 million people at the Earth Day event he spoke at. press-citizen.com: Obama Rally Draws 10,000.
Yes, they say 10,000, but that's because the media is racist and they
always undercut our rallies and marches. Remember when they said about
26 people showed up to the Million Man March the first year? Yeah,
so...at least 50K came to see Obama.

No
need to be in everyone's business, but releasing tax returns is
routine. The Obama's income went down a bit because those Dreams of My
Father royalties have slowed and the royalties for his current book
probably aren't going to cover the advance until later this year.
Obamas release tax returns Chicago TribuneThe
Illinois senator released his 2006 federal tax return Monday, a day
ahead of Tuesday's tax filing deadline. Obama and his wife, Michelle,
reported taxable income of $983,826, down from $1.6 million in 2005.
I owed taxes again this year, so I don't want to talk about it. Just move on.
