i love the facetiousness of obama's pre-requisite for hillary's veep quest that she provide more transparency on income and expenses.

this from the guy who has never successfully explained how he persuaded a mobster to loan him nearly a million dollars so he could buy the vacant lot next door to his mansion?

that's just so perfect . . . .

Oh, you make it sound so unsavory.

I would say that he has successfully explained all that he needs to explain at this point, to the satisfaction of the Democratic nominating process anyway, if not to yours. You may wish the question would resurface on your terms, but it's not likely to, no matter how often you post it.

Whatever. BHO is a product of Cook Co, Il Democtatic politics. Chicago & Cook Co, Il are part of a far different world & reality than Baltimore & Maryland. To be snide, you wouldn't understand it if & when Obama tells how he got the money & why he got the money to buy the lot next of his house from a tainted person. While Sen Obama is as smart as a whip & has a mind like a steel trap he can process & believe in the mysteries of the Christian faith. The bounty of the Cook Co, Il Democratic party may be compared to the mysteries, blessings & miracles of the Christian faith, only God understands these things; they are far beyond any human understanding. One is free to doubt or to accept these incidents on faith alone. If you wish to be a cynic & doubt, welcome to our motley crew. We have loads of fun doubting & being amazed. If you have what's called the gift of faith, I wish you peace & joy.

Maybe you should first explain where you got your information. Obama never borrowed a dime from any mobster. If you have proof to the contrary, I dare you to produce it.

I gave you a thumbs down for being so off topic, and now I see that you were right on - it was Prudie who strayed into the unmannered & amoral world of politics - so I undid the thumb.

That said, you seem to be dittoheading. I thought you were above that. Innuendo only works on the already converted and the ignorant.
