S.C. Ministers on Barack Obama’s List Say They Didn’t Endorse Him; Democrats Angle for Last-Minute Converts
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Two black South Carolina ministers listed by Barack Obama as supporters of his campaign say they never endorsed the Illinois senator, while at least two others say they affirmed their support only after being contacted by the campaign when questions were raised over their endorsements.
Hillary Clinton, too, has stumbled when it comes to claiming the support of the clergy. And with just over a week to go until Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, the questions over endorsements coincide with gambits by the two frontrunning Democrats to pick off each other’s supporters and win them over to their sides.
The moves suggest that every endorsement, however low-key, counts — but the enthusiastic head-counting has had its drawbacks.
Earlier this month, Obama’s campaign released a list of what it said were nearly 130 senior pastors in South Carolina endorsing his run for the Democratic nomination. When contacted by The Associated Press, several ministers said they have yet to decide who will get their vote and were unclear how they ended up on the Illinois senator’s list.
“I really haven’t decided to endorse him yet. I was thinking about it,” said the Rev. Clifford Gaymon of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church in rural Clarendon County.
An Obama spokeswoman said the list was created after campaign organizers called ministers and asked to release their names publicly.
“We used all our resources to ensure we had the most accurate and up-to-date list, and we worked to check with everyone on the list,” said South Carolina spokeswoman Amaya Smith. “It’s a pretty long list of people.”
But some ministers said their names were used without their permission. Gaymon, mistakenly listed as retired on the Obama list, said he’s been to campaign events to find out more about the presidential candidate, but did not receive a phone call about making an endorsement.
The Rev. Michael Blue of Door of Hope Christian Church in Marion was added to the list without permission and has asked the Obama campaign to take his name off the list, said church spokesman Ronnie Green.
Clinton ran into some of the same questions after her campaign released its list of endorsements from black ministers late last month.
Blacks compose nearly half the Democratic primary vote in South Carolina, and the candidates are looking for an edge with the critical voting bloc.
The majority of people endorsing each candidate was accurate, according to the AP reviews, and many supporters said they are eager to lend a hand.
Both campaigns lists’ had some sloppy record keeping: misspelled names, churches listed in incorrect cities and beside incorrect names. But, like Clinton’s list, Obama has some other substantial inconsistencies.
When Obama’s campaign released its list of ministers Dec. 4, it said everyone on it was a senior pastor, unless otherwise noted. That meant there were 122 senior pastors and three associate pastors of different churches and ministries, including four retirees.
Before supplying a second list to the AP a day later, the campaign withdrew two names and added one, and noted a fourth associate pastor. The AP review found at least two more associate pastors and a youth pastor’s assistant.
The Clinton and Obama campaigns also got into an endorsement spat Wednesday, with each claiming to have converted a former supporter of the other.
Clinton’s campaign spotlighted Iowa ironworker and former Obama labor steering committee member Bob McFadden, announcing Wednesday that he has switched his support to Clinton.
“Hillary Clinton won’t just talk the talk — she cares about the issues important to all of us and will work to change the direction of our country,” McFadden said in a Clinton campaign statement.
Obama countered, announcing that Army veteran Kent Sovern, formerly the Iowa co-chairman for Clinton’s Veterans Committee, has defected to caucus for Obama.
Clinton and Obama got into another sparring match over the weekend over who can lay claim to the backing of members of the Bill Clinton administration.
Obama suggested Friday in Iowa that he has more Clinton-era foreign policy experts backing his candidacy over Clinton’s. But when asked to cough up the hard numbers, Clinton’s campaign provided 85 names, while Obama’s provided 47.
On Wednesday, the Clinton campaign released a list of more than 200 foreign policy experts and former officials who are supporting the New York senator for president. More than 150 of them served in Bill Clinton’s administration. Among some of the notables were former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe and 2004 presidential candidate Wesley Clark.

Clinton tried to play down the endorsement aspect of the campaign Saturday in New Hampshire.
“But this is not a campaign between lists of advisers. This is a campaign between real people, with experience and qualifications to become president on day one,” she said.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you name one major accomplishment of Hillary Clinton???
Wow.
When did Fox become so pro-Hillary? I thought I was on CNN.com. Everything on this site is so anti-GOP now. What’s a decent honest person got to do to become president?
So how come it’s okay for ministers to “endorse” a candidate, but can’t say a word about it in a worship service? Freedom of speech is not allowed in a pulpit? What kind of country is this, anyhow?
I like Hillary, John Edwards, Joe Biden and Christopher Dodd , but the candidate I really like and vote for is Barack Obama! You see I believe he’s the real agent for Change. I believe he is inspiring,gives us hope and is not a part of the old guard. He relly offers an opportunity for real change.
In many ways he reminds me of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s newly elected Mayor, Michael A. Nutter because he is part of a new and different generation of leadership.
Change Machine huh. What would you like to see changed? If you want change then I would presume that you would want the opposite of what we have now in America. We have:
Deficit going down at record paces
Interest rates in the 6s
GPN growing at record paces
Overall unemployment rates at lows not seen in decades
Healthcare that persons from other countries come here to access
Domestic security
I could go on but, would you like to see the opposite of all the above?
Vote for Hill & Bill again and you will see that and much more!
Iowa and New Hampshire have a great opportunity to springboard the best candidate who is Mitt Romney, the only scandal free candidate, into victory which could be repeated in SC and Michigan. As for the others, Rudy has two major scandals, Huckabee destroyed computer harddrives when leaving office, what was he hiding? McCain is pulling out all stops to prevent the
New York Times from running a story that they are holding that would be a knock out punch for him. Just do a little research on their records and
positions of important issues and none of them come close to Romney .
Vote for the winner.
Hillary Clinton is more of the same we have already experienced with the Clinton era. She has nothing fresh or new to offer as a leader. Hillary is a leader for a few only and will not bring unity to our nation.
OBAMA HAS NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE, NO JOB EXPERIENCE AND NO POLITICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS-HE IS BULLET PROOFED BY THE MEDIA AGAINST HIS STEALTH BACKROUND, HIS BROTHER, FATHER AND STEP FATHER, HIS REFUSAL TO WEAR THE AMERICAN FLAG PIN AND HAND OVER HEART DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM -HIS USING “BLOW” AND THE CHURCH HE ATTENDS IN CHICAGO. THEIR WEBSITE SAYS THEY SUPPORT BEING “TRUE TO AFRICA” AND PREACHES DIVISIVE BLACK V. WHITE MATERIAL.
HILLARY KNOWS WHERE THE LINEN CLOSETS AND CHINA PLATE IS STORED AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
NEXT TO MITT AND RUDY THEY ARE MIDGETS.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has been widely recognized for his leadership and accomplishments as a public servant and in private enterprise.
Elected in 2002, Governor Romney presided over a dramatic reversal of state fortunes and a period of sustained economic expansion. Without raising taxes or increasing debt, Governor Romney balanced the budget every year of his administration, closing a nearly $3 billion budget gap inherited when he took office. By eliminating waste, streamlining the government, and enacting comprehensive economic reforms to stimulate growth in Massachusetts, Romney got the economy moving again and transformed deficits into surpluses.
At the beginning of Governor Romney’s term, Massachusetts was losing thousands of jobs every month. By the time he left office, the unemployment rate was lower, hundreds of companies had expanded or moved to Massachusetts and the state had added approximately 60,000 jobs from the low point of the recession.
One of Governor Romney’s top priorities was reforming the education system so that young people could compete for good paying jobs in the global economy of the future. In 2004, Governor Romney established the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship Program to reward the top 25 percent of Massachusetts high school students with a four-year, tuition-free scholarship to any Massachusetts public university or college. He has also championed a package of education reforms, including merit pay, an emphasis on math and science instruction, important new intervention programs for failing schools and English immersion for foreign-speaking students.
In 2006, Governor Romney proposed and signed into law a private, market-based reform that ensures every Massachusetts citizen will have health insurance, without a government takeover and without raising taxes.
Governor Romney was elected to the Chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association by his fellow Governors for the 2006 election cycle, and raised a record $27 million for candidates running in State House contests around the country.
Romney first gained national recognition for his role in turning around the 2002 Winter Olympics. With the 2002 Games mired in controversy and facing a financial crisis, Romney left behind a successful career as an entrepreneur to take over as President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Governor Romney has said he felt compelled to assume the seemingly impossible task of rescuing the Games by both the urgings of his wife, Ann, and by the memory of his father, George Romney, who had been a successful businessman, three-term Governor of Michigan, and a tireless advocate of volunteerism in America.
In his three years at the helm in Salt Lake, Romney erased a $379 million operating deficit, organized 23,000 volunteers, galvanized community spirit and oversaw an unprecedented security mobilization just months after the September 11th attacks, leading to one of the most successful Olympics in our country’s history.
Prior to his Olympic service, Mitt Romney enjoyed a successful career helping businesses grow and improve their operations. From 1978 to 1984, Mr. Romney was a Vice President at Bain & Company, Inc., a leading management consulting firm. In 1984, Romney founded Bain Capital, one of the nation’s most successful venture capital and investment companies. Bain Capital helped guide hundreds of companies on a successful course, including Staples, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Domino’s Pizza, Sealy, Brookstone, and The Sports Authority. He was asked to return to Bain & Company as CEO several years later in order to lead a financial restructuring of the organization. Today, Bain & Company employs more than 2,000 people in 25 offices worldwide.
Governor Romney has been deeply involved in community and civic affairs, serving extensively in his church and numerous charities including City Year, the Boy Scouts, and the Points of Light Foundation. He was also the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in 1994.
Governor Romney received his B.A., with Highest Honors, from Brigham Young University in 1971. In 1975, he was awarded an MBA from Harvard Business School, where he was named a Baker Scholar, and a J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School.
Tom Tancredo dropped out and endorsed Romney as the strongest on his pet subject immigration enforcement.
Huckabee is a former Governor and a tax increaser. A Baptist Minister by training and profession and was a backwater nobody with no accomplishments before he decided to run for President. Nothing but his press coverage has increased or improved or changed.
I’m not sure either candidate is presidential material. Barak doesn’t have much time in the senate and Hillary definitely wouldn’t be good. All of the scandals while Bill was in office and she was behind him defending an adulterer,untruthful for over 30 years. Does she think we forgot because she stayed out of the lime- light while President Bush has been in office ? We haven’t. It would be wrong to elect her. I believe she is a socialist.
Please give “we the people” an honest, decent person that will uphold our laws and we will pick that person to help run our country. Right now we have none in The Democratic Party. I’m a registered Republican and there isn’t anyone there that sounds good to me either ! Our country is in big trouble as I see it.
Get a life. Hillary is a crook.
I find it strange how Obama is making this a black/white campaign. Any white ministers endorsing Clinton or Obama, names are lacking if so.
“……….all people smile the same language.”
… but some smile with a Marxist accent!
If snow jobs (declarations) were bovine fecal matter all of the candidates would be blizzards. They are all lieing through their eye teeth. We Americans would to be crazy and stupid to believe anything any of them say to try to get elected!
I’d like to ask Hillary one question:
She has said that she believes abortion should be (quote) “Safe, legal, and rare.”
My question is, if abortion on demand (for any reason) should be legal, and if they can be safe for all involved, then why should they be “rare”?
As long as the left-wing secular fundamentalists support the butchering of some 3,660 pre-born children (all with beating hearts, arms, legs, etc) EACH DAY (on average, one weeks worth, divded by 7 days!!), they have no moral authority to lead anyone or say anything!!
Strange that both candidates have inconsistencies, but only Obama made the headlines. As for Hillary being a change machine, It’s hard to figure how she will be different from Bill. Sounds like she will continue his agenda (which was probably hers to begin with). My vote won’t go to her, or any of the big ticket dems I’ve seen so far.
Hmmm, let’s see. Hillary is indeed experienced…at being a world-class embarassment while posing as first lady to a player. She, like Hussein Obama, is a junior senator, and little else. This is precisely why each little ministerial endorsement means so much to the both of them. Hillary has not even enough experience to keep Bill’s mouth shut, much less his zipper up.
Bring on the girl. Bring on the girl. Bring on the girl.
The dogs are out and waiting. The dogs are out and waiting.
I think of one word when it comes to Hillary and the economy (TATA). Research it. They occupied a building in New York but all of the jobs/workers were hired at to the company’s (HQ) offices in India providing services. How could Labor Unions support her?
Let’s not give Bill Clinton’s Foreign Policy team too much credit. Weren’t they the bunch that did not have the guts to pull the trigger on OBL? Did someone that has a name that sounds like something found at a beach/playground and grounded beef sandwhich stash TOP SECRET documents in their pants? I WANT CHANGE AND ITS SEEMS TO THE VOTE FOR THE LESSER EVIL. How are things different if it is the same players under the table and behind the curtains?
Hillary will turn us into a communist country with very high taxes, etc. Just like old USSR which was a complete failure. She and her husband will be the rulers.
If you want that, then vote for her.
Unfortunately, the republicans are not too far behind.
Vote for anybody but Senator Clinton - she is a power hungry, lie at all costs candidate. Don’t be fooled by her deceptions - watch the tapes, never the same answer twice. She makes Kerry look like he is not a flip-flopper!
Minister’s? Is this not a violation of the “So-called” church and state? These ministers are involved in political campaign’s. They need to be audited by the IRS or someone to investigate their involvement in political rhetoric. They are supposedly non-proft!!!!!
Looks like FOXNews supports Clinton. What ever happened to un-biased reporting? You’ve linked to one canidates list of supporters but not the other, poor job of “reporting” the news. I am disapointed in FoxNews.
By the way, I don’t support any canidate yet. I’m still looking for fair unbiased information on all the canidates. Would be wonderful if you could fairly link to voting records of all the canidates you cover. Better yet set it up so that “You Decide” would be a reliable source of information for all the records of the current canidates.
Hillary is getting my vote
Support Clinton for President, comrades!
Who let the blond out? Shut up! You want to sing, do it to the football team that just boned you. You stupid liberal twit.
What juice have you been drinking? Looks like it is coming straight from the tap at a Hillary propaganda event.
I did not aprove the above message. Please don’t vote for me.
Hillary will not win because she is too far to the left, and is beholden to too many wacho interest groups.
In fact, she is too far to the left that those in the middle and the right would surely drive her away if she gets too near them.
How can she sit in that oval office where her husband did something to some lady?
As former first lady, she should know what her man is doing. How can she now have the gall to watch over the entire US armed forces and the world, when she could not even watch over her husband?
In fact, she still has to openly castigate her husband about that.
Hillary is not a change ,it Bill Clinton round three,who was after all the brains behind his presidency away.
And what say,once a crook…….just asked those who got screwed by whitewater.
Oh and don’t forget the pyscho who thought Bill’s adultry was a “vast right wing conspricy”.
She’s also flip-flopped so many times on Iraq she makes Kerry look…well you know..
She’ll do anything,say anything to regain power
The change the left said would happen after the last election didn’t happen just like it didn’t happen when Clinton had the white house,both houses of congress and the supreme court before.
Remember,this is the same folks who had the opportunity to stop Bin Laden and refused it.
I don’t know who it is but we need a bridge builder not a fence mender…except maybe on the border.
Disprespecting Bush and the war is a high school girl’s game to get applause from her friends but cuts our country off at the knees…
We don’t need this and we don’t need her or anyone from any party like her…
These two are acting like children. I would expect this behavior from my three year old son, fighting about who is on which side. This is childish, grow up if you expect to be president.
So what? A couple of ministers said their names were not supposed to be on the list. That’s news? Let’s not get too cute.
They should get on board, as Chris Rock humorously stated at the Apollo, as the day when Obama wins, their true colors will be revealed.
Seriously…Why not talk about how our next president should be a person of character, good common sense, and a grassroots organizer who gets things done.
What has Hillary done for New York really? What has she done for New York? Why doesn’t she speak out on the racial injustices such as the case in the execution style shooting of SEAN BELL, and the recent verdict against Mr. White for shooting someone who came to his home to fight his son? Where is the outrage from Hillary? She does not touch racial problems, because she has not lived them, nor is she interested in being around anyone except rich Blacks who have also turned their backs on the less fortunate in this city.
Remember when everyone asked Hillary if she were running for president, and she either denied, smiled, but never quite answered the question? Yet she has the arrogance to cite Barrack’s kindergarten work?
I see a woman who feels she is entitled. She is not. The American people want the best qualified. Mrs. Clinton’s experience is limited to the fact she was First Lady, and as the Times reported, she did not have security clearance. We need to break free from the Clintons, and the Bushes. Voting for Barack Obama is something Americans need to do to ensure we have a different, more constructive future; it would prove we are no longer a country governed by fear, race, or religion. The ignorant need to read more about the issues, and his experience in the Illinois State Senate. The proof he is a conciliatory statesman, and not a self=serving advocate of solely himself. Barack is capable of leading this nation; he only asks that we each do our share to change it,
Ask the 94-year-old precinct captain in Iowa!
If obama gets the nod for President, iwill vote republican for the first time in my life.
What happened to dems stance on seperation of church and state; Is there no end to their hypocrisy? We all know the answer to that.
Hillary Clinton doesnt have the experience, knowledge, integrity or wisdom to be president. To claim you have experience because your husband was president is simply STUPID. To claim you are experienced because you have been to every continent except for Antarctica is just dumb. If we are going to go by that standard then I can run for president. Thats like saying if I watch an surgeon do surgery for eight years I will be just as experienced as the surgeon.
It is simply illogical. You havent done nothing since being elected to the Senate and you havent done anything prior to it. Give me a break.
Why are we even having this conversation about pastors and churches? If a pastor came out and endorsed a republican candidate his church’s tax exempt status would be pulled overnight.
How are these ministers endorsing anybody? I thought a church loses its tax free status if it endorses a candidate. Anybody know the answer?
If you want a socialist state, then vote for Hillary and MORE TAXES, MORE WELFARE, and cradle to grave care for those who choose not to work….
^^You really don’t have a clue truly about Hillary do you? Ever bothered to do some honest research on your candidate (or any of them for that matter?) She is definitely NOT ideal for this nation, especially if you dislike those who don’t listen, very controlling, talk out of both sides of the face to confuse people and the facts. Do you really want someone who would make your standard politician look like a patron saint of honesty and integrity? Seriously, go back, do some research of her time in the Senate, and also the days back in Arkansas and before. If you honestly haven’t an issue with the type of woman she is, I pity you.
Oh yea, Those Foreign Policy supporters of Hillary’s { Albright, Clark }, What a bunch of great Losers!!!!!!
hillary is a pathological liar GOOD LUCK
How many lies are we supposed to listen too. American is in sad shape when we have so many Americans supporting the world class truth bender, Hilary Clinton……………….Let us pray, Hilary go away. Oh Oh, take Obama with you………..please!
Arguing over endorsements is about as valuable as toe jam. I’ve never been persuaded by another person’s feelings over something or somebody. Worthless dispute.
Please do your homework on your candidates.
We need someone “Out of the Box” and not wrapped up in greed and power.
This women would sell her soul to become President. Maybe she has?
Democrat, Republican, Whats the difference?
Democrats seem to get people to vote for them promising FREE benifits?
When in reality, Democrats are power hungry and want total control….
Religion is really noting but a bed for Satan to relish in his wickedness. Why would any, Christian church (name your own denomination here) approve of an individual who made a choice not to accept Christianity? Why would any Christian leader (i.e. pastor, minister, reverend, etc.) make a mistake of getting involved with politics – especially when Paul teaches (2 Tim. 3) these leaders are supposed to study and teach and be beyond reproof (ie.g of these poor political antics with pathetically poor political leaders)?
WHAT experience????? Blondshag, you’re clueless.
Only brain dead people vote for Democrats, and brain dead thiefs vote for anybody named Clinton.
she’s my cousin and I still wouldn’t vote for her
Yeah Blondshag–hillary is a ‘change-machine’–she’ll change your money into hers…that’s all hillary wants is our money and power to form more social programs that don’t work…she wants more power over Americans.
When you have candidates bickering over something as petty as who is endorsing them, it is a shame. The presidency is not about the who’s who, it’s about who can do what’s in the best interest of the country! So far, none of the democrats have shown that they have the best interest of the country in their heart. It is what is in their best interest!
“Only brain dead people vote for Democrats, and brain dead thiefs vote for anybody named Clinton.” MUST BE A LOT OF BRAIN DEAD REPUBLICANS TO HAVE VOTED IN 2000 AND 2004 FOR SOMEONE WHO IS AND WILL BE CONSIDERED ONE OF AMERICA’S WORST PRESIDENTS….
“Research” got the last line about 99% accurate. Democrates have to fool people into thinking that, they are for the little guy. They are for big government and not the little guy. They try buying votes by offering handouts. these handouts always have strings attached. This is so they can grow government at the same time. example: tax breaks for people who buy a hybrid. “Research” needs to understand the key difference between the parties. Republicans want you to keep more of your hard earned dollars. You know how to spend your money the best way for your family. Democrats want to take as much of your money as they can, and then at election time, remind you of what little they gave you back. Wake up, remember! travel gate, cattle gate, Vince Foster’s safe was ramsacked before his body was cold, Hilary had 40 FBI files illeagally in her office. ETC….She denies any responsibility for anything. ANYONE BUT HILLARY IN 08! were can I buy that bumpersticker?
I hope Hillary wins the Democratic Nomination. Its easier to defeat her than any other candidate. Hate Politics is an ugly beast, but we no longer have statesmen in our country, we are left with politicians.
preachers only have one vote like anybody else I would not vote for some-one just because my preacher support some-one
Help, please some body help me. Bill and Hillary keep telling us voters that she has experience. But when you do your research, you can’t find anything. And of course Hillary won’t tell us what her experience is. If anyone out there could help me with this, please help. The only thing I can see is Bill wants to be the first president to be elected to office three times. I hope Hillary is not basing her experience on Bill beacuse he did nothing good for the country, oh, I sorry, he did show us how to cheat on your wife. I am not against a women being president, I would welcome it for a change. but Hillary isn’t the one, think ahead, how would you explain to your childern that you help put this cheater and lier in office, what would they think of you. I don’t think our childern would be proud of us. So do the right thing vote for a candidate who has morals and is honest and will do what is right for the country. Do you research then vote.
I think you should not vote for someone because they maybe the same color or a female like you are. If you really want to know about a person just do a little research about the past and the present. If you find something fishy that is what you will get for a President. Just listen to the way they speak, if they use the one um that means they are for sure uncertain about what they say. Trust me people the world needs someone who is well sure about the decisons that are being made for the United States.
So the allegations against Clinton are vague without names and basically baseless, because you can’t write a piece without baselessly criticising Clinton even when the Obama campaign has clearly done something wrong with facts backing it up. You wouldn’t do very well in journalism school if you submitted this article for marking.
Of course these people endorse Hillary, they want their old jobs back where they didn’t have to do anything and got a nice cushy office.
Did I miss something? What experience does Hillary have? Experience at using the FBI as her own private eye to get the dirt on her political opponents? She has never ran anything before. And people want to give her my bank account so that she can pay for all of those ‘gifts’ that she put under the tree? Remember her comment to the NY times that she has a million little ideas, but America can’t afford them all? We can’t afford any of her socialistic ideals. I know realize why she says that it takes a village to raise a child since her husband was never around. Like at the stark contrast between the Clintons and Mitt Romney, where Mitt married his high school sweetheart, has five kids who actually like him (and are all married with kids)…he is a true role model. Mitt was a very successful businessman, has ran multi-million/billion $ companies, saved the Olympics from financial ruin and ran an executive position as governor.
As for Obama, what has he ever done? Organized some political organizations? Was a state senator? and…um…anything else? He can get out and stump and say anything because he has no background, no back story. nothing.
We need a true executive leader. We need Mitt Romney.
Roger, you asked for help, Here it is.
Hillary is very experienced. Remember her universal health care initiative, as first lady? (Co-President) Of course you don’t! It was held behind closed doors, away from public scutiny. When a few details were leaked to the press, it fell apart. She is vastly experienced in trying to deceive the american people. She denide knowlege on how 40 FBI files got into her office; Some intern was likely to blame. She denide knowledge of Rose Law firm billing irregularities. (racking up phony hours, and stealing money from clients). She stonewalled and then shredded documents that could have (or should have) put her in jail. She denise knowlege of how Chinese money got funnelled into her campain. She denided knowlege that her brother and husband were charging huge fees for presidential pardons. She also didn’t know anything about AirForce One’s china plates and silverware ending up in her house. So you can see, she is very experienced at denial and playing stupid. You want that kind of experience in a president? You want a female president? You want a African-American President? How about Condeleasa Rise! ANYONE BUT HillARY in 08!
Mr Obama is a cheater!! He started his political carrier with the funds of a one Mr Rezco who is an indited businessman!!!!
He tells about running a different campaign!!!!!!! I ask him some questions!!!! He tells he is a very superior decision maker, but he says he was boneheaded to buy a land from Rezco!!! Common Obama, you bought that land for 300 thousand less than the asking price the before one day, when Rezco’s wife bought the next land for asking price!! You made whopping 300 thousand profit on one deal!! You are very shrewd cunning cheater, you are a razor sharp knife, with honey touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just think about it, we are all blaming Clintons for attacking Obama!! Oh!! pooooor Obama!! Didn’t he attacked Clinton saying She was on Walmart Payroll, when he was working for poor, and only to retaliate his comment Hillary replied about His involvement with REZCO(Cheater, slum lord)!!!
When one of the channel asked him about REZCO, he just said that he was boneheaded to do that deal, that’s it!!!!! he moved on and said that he thinks people don’t care about it and all they care is for change!!!! Are we mad and boneheaded like him!!!!!!! to elect an boneheaded leader like him!!! Yes We are!!!!! That is why he is winning like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wake Up fellow Americans!!! Realize there is no change with Obama, only cheating !!! If we elect Him we are sending people like REZCO into White house!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great man said “If you want to judge a person!! See his friends!!!!! With REZCO is his first Fund Raiser and His initial political contributer and Friend!!!! You Judge Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Oprah!! you are great lady!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven’t you asked all these questions before supporting him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary is better than Obama!!!!!!!!!
He talks about Change and Hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oprah says a quote that he is a guy with an ear of eloquence and a tongue of truth!!!!
Common Oprah!!
What about REZCO deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! had he asked a few people in Chicago!!!! they would have told about REZCO!!!!!! But he did not do that and dealt with him all these years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This proves he does not have both things you said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He returned whopping 86,000!!!!!!!!!! dollars to REZCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in this campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oprah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just gave him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2300 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but do you think REZCO is a boneheaded person like Obama to give him whopping 86000 dollars to Obama’s campaign with out any profit!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is just known amount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you don’t know how much it is unknowingly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama!!!!!!!!!! is different!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he keeps changing his positions, but if somebody points it out, they are playing dirty politics!!!
So what we are doing is We are electing a leader!!!!!
1.) Who was drug edict in his young age!!!!
2.) Had a fraud businessman as a friend, fund raiser until now!! and had done real estate deals with him and profited more than millions from that!!!
