Bloverk: "Now, who in their right mind thinks you can earn enough off of two jobs to pay for both college and law school?" Maybe he won a scholarship or received a grant. Then why does he claim to have worked his way through college? |

Per Big Dog: By the time he was 30 Barack had: ** Graduated Columbia University, after spending two years in JuCo. ** Worked in public interest groups and was a community organizer ** Graduated cum laude from Harvard Law (at 30). _______________________________________________ Now, I realize this thread is an attempt to bring down a " man", not a "boy" from becoming our next president by taking away his accomplishments. The fact that he can move a crowd, become a senator of US Congress and now in position to live in the WH has some people so scared, and why, I don't know. They seemed fit to accept an i*dio*t who supposedly had an impressionable resume via his family with no question. They seemed to believe every lie...hook, line & sinker. (not that he's running again) No one is questioning McCain's service as a US citizen and no one should question Obama's service as a civilian or as a US citizen. No, Obama is no special man.....no one is, but I'm ready to say good-bye to what is being offered from the Republicans, who seem fit to keep the status quo as is.....and that is unacceptable unless you like being in a recession. I just think you are being a hypocrite Mink, it is that simple. You are about to vote for a man who is a known liar, making yourself a hypocrite for all the criticisms you heaped on Bush for lying. If Barack is willing to lie about this, he is willing to lie about anything. So, since you hold truthfulness in such high regard, why would you vote for a known liar? |

Personally, I see Obama's change of thinking as a good thing. He is getting all the facts and has the troops' welfare in mind. If that is a reversal in mind set, it is a good one! That's a pretty big flip-flop for you, Ms. Mink. |

Barack Hussein Obama, in 2003, talking to the AFL/CIO:
"I happen to be a proponent of single-payer universal healthcare coverage. That’s what I’d like to see."
Barack Hussein Obama, January, 2008, nationally televised debate:
"I never said that we should try to go ahead and get single-payer."

On the January 22nd edition of "Meet the Press," Tim Russert and Obama had the following exchange:
Russert: "When we talked back in November of '04 after your election, I said, 'There's been enormous speculation about your political future. Will you serve your six-year term as United States senator from Illinois?'"
Obama: "I will serve out my full six-year term. You know, Tim, if you get asked enough, sooner or later you get weary and you start looking for new ways of saying things. But my thinking has not changed."
Russert: "So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?"
Obama: "I will not."

February -- As Sen. McCain has pointed out, Obama promised to use public funding in the general election if the Republican candidate would do so also. Well, McCain has agreed to it, but now Obama wants to back out of the deal. After all, when he made the promise, he didn't have a chance of raising more than the public's $85 million stipend. But now that he can raise $300 million, well, what's a little untruth between the waited-for one and his people? Yes, he can.
