http://popbytes.com/archive/2008/03/barack_obama_secrets_and_more_gossip.shtmlEven though they are a psycho rag, they get it right more often than not. They are pretty careful about libel because they have a lot of money to lose if someone decides to sue.

publisher has links to the Clinton camp unfortunately.However, I. And I would bet many of Obamas supporters will believe this before the Dallas observer or the Sun Times! they called them 'partisan rags" ! Snark! would be lying if I didn't say it tickles me that so many will see this in the checkout line. They have run crap like this about Hillary forever(which is odd considering the publisher)

Needless to say, this stays in our little corner of the universe. If we posted elsewhere, something bad might happen to us.

Seriously, though, this looks like good reading. I think I'll pick it up, maybe get a lottery ticket or two while I'm at it. :popcorn:

She is an annoyingly overbearing person. I cannot stand her more than him, even. What an egotistical pair they are.
People might scoff at the tabloid, but the negative headlines may also spark some doubts in others about this supposedly perfect, clean candidate. I hope the tabs take the stories and run with them in a big way. It's not the first negative story about O to appear in those rags, either.

12. The thing about headlines and stories like this |
|
that the more naive Obama supporters do not realize is that stuff like this is going to be all over the place should he win the nomination. Hillary has been vetted which is among the reasons I support her. With his not wanting to talk about Rezco and other things I just have a feeling that the media will explode with stories like this if he gets the nomination. He gets all pissy when Hillary criticizes him. Can you imagine what it would be like if he ended up being the nominee? A total disaster.

14. agree-they don't get that and don't want to-Hillary never |

agreed to a lovely, calm quiet walk to the nomination. Those are the guidelines that Obama stated he was setting for his campaign, he cannot dictate guidelines to his opponent's campaign. That's politics.
