National media kills Obama/Rezko - now ignores Obama/Wright/Lewis - why
The Lewis/Obama/Wright facts do not tell an ethical or criminal story, but they are interesting - yet only FoxNews (sorry for the source) has run a partial story on this. Perhaps the media has decided to make Obama the Teflon candidate?

The background begins with the Cherryone Web Design company in Chicago which has 72 complaints on the Illinois Better Business Bureau website, and is being investigated for credit card fraud. A principal of the company is Chicago restaurant chain owner Kendall Lewis, who has a close connections to Senator Obama through his father, jazz artist Ramsey Lewis. As Obama sells the messianic treatment of his followers (and appears to believe it himself) and his campaign damns those that question his moral authority, we find that Obama friend Kendall Lewis, according to documents obtained from the Cook County Register of Deeds, sold Rev. Wright two empty lots in Tinley Park, Ill., for $345,000 in 2004, which Wright then flipped and sold it to his own Church, Trinity United, in December 2006, at a $37,000 tax loss (!) but with the transaction involving the Church taking out a $1.6 million mortgage and in the transaction obtaining a $10 million line of credit, and with the Wright monies going to a living trust shared with his wife, Ramah. And now we find that Obama's former Pastor is getting a gated community four- bedroom, 10,000-plus square foot $1.6M home in retirement that Trinity United Church of Christ is building for our Reverend Jeremiah Wright. As with all things Obama, there is no illegal act in any of this - but it does show how tight some shady characters are with Obama and Rev. Wright, and adds to the Rezko smell test problem.

1. Ever been on a farm?
You can only go to the same cow so often for milk before she runs dry.

The Pasteurized Pastor cow is dead.

3. I'm bored aleady
That's about as engaging as "Whitewater" was 14 years ago.

This nation is at war and is in recession.

7. none of these transactions have anything to do with Obama
which makes these non-allegations even less interesting.

Rev. Wright isn't running for President, nor are any of Obama's friends.

11. That's what I'm afraid of .. They probably have a story already
in the works. They have talked about it enough that people will most likely be able to pick up were the left off.

12. The ones who continue to spread the old news
won't be voting for Obama anyway. The rest of the country will.

YES WE CAN!

10. I'm starting to see how Hillary might be a better opponent for McCain
When he talks about his time in the North Vietnamese prison camp, she can one-up him by telling how she single-handedly rescued him, Rambo style, and brought him to safety.

13. Smell test problem?


You have it all wrong and completely backward. It’s the media you need to focus on as the source of putrid odor. The stench of the smear campaign by the media targeting the best candidate which can uphold the American Constitution reeks of Leninism and Bolshevism.
Trying to sabotage and undermine candidates who are less controllable by use of bribery and blackmail is something that has not gone unnoticed. The media propaganda machine has abandoned what we know as “Jounalism”and is now involved in inept opinion making/brainwash.
The Bolshevik media has engineered the whole Wright drama to inflame negative passions; however logic totally invalidates the guilt by association tactics. The media is one of the biggest threats to this nation and our democracy. With all the corrupt baggage of the Clintons that can be reported on one could also make a fairly credible augment of media racism.
Just the opposite of Wright being Racist a media that concocts ways to distract Americans from the real issues is beyond racist and very dangerous to those unaware of its Anti-American, NOW, Leninist agenda.

It’s the Clintons that are really stinky:
