I’m glad to see that his investigation found that he did not do anything inappropriate.

Gotta love it, 23rd of December release, Prez Elect is not available for questions as he is in Hawaii and Rahm Emanuel is in Africa and also unable to communicate. Beautifully done, very Clintonesque.
Let’s hope this is all above board and the Obama-Rezko real estate transaction was only a brain fart on Prez Elect’s part.

I’m glad, too, Ben, especially since the feds have tapes that would prove whether the Obama gang is lying about this stuff, which apparently they’re not. What a disappointment for the Obamaphobes — and right after those nutty lawsuits about the man’s citizenship were laughed out of court.

Optimistic1: You’re right. Obama should have told the feds to stick it when they asked him to wait until this week before releasing the report. Or…wait a minute! Prosecutor Fitzgerald is in the tank for Obama, which is why he asked that the report be delayed until just before Christmas. Yeah, that must be it. They’re all part of the great conspiracy to lead America to socialism and Islam. Wake up, America!

President Barack Hussain Obama……deal with it–it is your reality for the next 4-8 years….

What the hell does my comment have to do with Socialism or Islam Patty Cakes? You jump to conclusions far too quickly. I want Obama to be clean as the wind driven snow, but Rezko (And Blago) were knee deep in a whole lot of crap in Chicago and Obama has himself admitted he made a “Boneheaded Mistake” when dealing with Rezko previously face to face. No specualtion in that my friend. I think Obama is doing a fantastic job thus far, the only thing that can take him down hard (along with the country) would be for a bunch of dealings to come out on tape. You assure me this will not happen. If a 5 year investigation made arrests 1 month after a presidential election and the main characters ran with the same crowd as the Prez Elect, I am sure you would think nothing of it would you Pat? What were the Left’s actions during the Plame Affair??? 3 million spent, how many weeks of news cycle and nobody convicted of anything having to do with the original investigation. Plenty worthy of conspiracy theory from your side then, but when it is your guy in possible wrong doing it is fodder when I wonder? Lovely.
Barryfan, it is Barrack Hussein Obama. spell your Savior’s middle name right. I am perfectly good with Obama for 4-8, I hear just as much bitching from left wing groups crying over Rick Warren and such as I do from the right at this point. All should deal with it and support this Prez unlike 2000. He is My President and his hands will be full for those 4-8 playing cleanup just as Mr. Bush had to do walking into a recession and a terrorist attack planned long before he took office. I trust Mr. Obama will do a much better job than Bush, can’t do any worse can he?

I’m confused. Was the recession planned before or after Bush took office?

Confused is one of many ways you could be described!

Banner - Bush walked into a very early first term recession, and so will Obama. Hopefully Obama will not have to deal with catastrophic events like 9/11 and Katrina on top of these economic times.
