This is just business as usual. The basis of owning a business is calculated risk. Would they investigate them if they made 2 Billion on the trade??

The Big ChiTown Media, so supine they might as well go out of business. Maybe they hope to hang on with some of their own BO Bucks?

Comment on Was it Illegal for the Obama Campaign to Attempt to Bribe Rev. Wright? by Bessie

I think it depends on where the money came from…If it was coming from a Whitaker’s private account that might be legal but if it was from Obama’s campaign fund (which is most likely but not proveable) then that would be illegal…
Do you think Rahm called Ricketts this morning about the SuperPac ad about Rev.Wright? I would have paid good money to hear that conversation.

Jane Addams remains au courant while another short haired woman, Frances Willard, is largely forgotten and reviled.

Susan B. Anthony hardly rates: she was pro-life and conventional.

“Most noteworthy was Barack Obama’s announcement, at long last, that he now favors same-sex marriage.”

How can we be sure? He was for it before he was against it. His position on the subject seemed to be largely dependent upon the election district that he was running in. He was for it when he represented an Illinois State Senate District. He was against it when he was seeking the United States Senate Seat from Illinois. He was against during his first presidential campaign. Give him a few more months and maybe he will change his mind again, provided that there are a few votes to be gained by flip flopping.

Awfully bold of Obama to wait until after the thirty-second American state voted in favor of banning same sex marriages. His endorsement might have been of some value in several states where referenda questions were put to the voters, but Obama balked.

I am proud to be Leo H.S. alum. We produce great men who contribute great things for our country. As a Leo grad, it’s like you’re in a fraternity and you have brothers all over the country who share a common bond. I live in Charlotte, N.C. and have met a few Leo men here. One Leo grad even helped me get a summer job while I was in college.
