Is this “Change” we can believe in?

by @ 13:56 on March 18, 2008. Filed under Politics - National.

Talking constantly about change, I wonder if this is the kind of change Barack Obama refers to:

Regarding his knowledge of Jerimiah Wright’s sermon content:

Huffington Post Blog 3/14/08

The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation.

In Barack’s “speech on race” 3/18/08

Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes.

Regarding funds he received from Rezko:

From the Chicago Sun-Times June, 2007

Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Obama also has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s.

But seven months ago, Obama told the Sun-Times his “best estimate” was that Rezko raised “between $50,000 and $60,000″ during Obama’s political career.

From the Politico 3/14/08

Obama’s acknowledgment that Rezko raised as much as $250,000 for earlier campaigns, initially made in an interview with The Chicago Tribune and confirmed later to Politico, came after a year-and-a-half-long trickle of admissions about Rezko’s fundraising role and more than a month after Obama’s aides contended that they had identified and jettisoned all Rezko-linked cash. It also came as Rezko’s trial on corruption charges, underway in Chicago, brought increased scrutiny of Obama’s ties to the real estate developer, fast-food magnate and political insider.

Democratic Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama, seems to have a problem getting his arms around the facts!

    Well, change is change, whether it’s a quarter or a diaper.

    When our boys were young we found that “wetones” were indispensable for cleaning them especially when they would have “blow outs.” Maybe a truckload of Wetones would help Barack?
