Barack Rezkobama has received nearly three times more campaign cash from indicted businessman Tony Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged, the Chicago Sun-Times has found. &lt;br&gt;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. &lt;br&gt;But seven months ago, Obama told the Sun-Times his &amp;quot;best estimate&amp;quot; was that Rezko raised &amp;quot;between $50,000 and $60,000&amp;quot; during Obama's political career.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama lies and lies and lies.

Look the 3 front runners are people he is way way more experienced than, they are his senate colleagues and he is polling above 1% unlike Kucinich.&lt;br&gt; What is interesting though is that you can be sure if he endorses anyone, it won't be Edwards (after that blistering email he fired at JRE few days ago).&lt;br&gt; He has just tweeked HRC regarding the Musharaff relection gaffe some few hrs ago. &lt;br&gt; It could thus be argued, he is endorsing by showing his supporters where to find rest by openly criticising those he doesn't want them to go to.&lt;br&gt; Plus I think there is considerable anger at HRC and JRE for suggesting the herd be thinned so early in the game at one of the early debates.&lt;br&gt; Lets just wait.

It's really ridiculous to think that the media, let alone the Clinton campaign, has somehow overlooked any substantive dirt on Obama that would actually matter. That's why we've been hearing about Kindergarten ambitions and admitted youthful indiscretions because basically, that's all they've got. Also, it's well known that Obama has often diverted his own funds to other Dems. It's called supporting your party. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kucinich urges supporters to back Obama...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542614.aspx#542825</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2008 23:19:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:542825</guid><dc:creator>Cherry</dc:creator><description>yes BARACK THE VOTE...THANK U DENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!</description></item><item><title>Kucinich urges supporters to back Obama...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542614.aspx#542847</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2008 23:29:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:542847</guid><dc:creator>Denny, Alaska</dc:creator><description>Here's a hint, Dennis: I switched to &amp;quot;Denny&amp;quot; back when I was, oh, two or three years of age. &amp;nbsp;Though it might be too late, give it a try. &amp;nbsp;At this point in your political life, anything--and I do mean anything--could help.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You're welcoome.</description></item><item><title>Kucinich urges supporters to back Obama...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/01/542614.aspx#542860</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2008 23:39:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:542860</guid><dc:creator>Mr. Gore, TN</dc:creator><description>First Lady Clinton, Your whole career and marriage has been a margin of error.

The drugs issue won't do much at all for the GOP. These &amp;quot;bedrock&amp;quot; Dems have been losing elections for 30 years. They wouldn't know a viable candidate if it bit them.

This is because the number of super delegates (state parties are apportioned delegates that they can hand out to party bigwigs, elected people, etc.) often is greater than the number of regular delegates that have to pledge to give their votes based on popular vote. So those candidates &amp;quot;annoited&amp;quot; by party insiders almost always win.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To get the most bang for the buck, Republicans need to overwhelmingly vote for Ron Paul. Democrats need to overwhelmingly vote for Barack Obama.
