If elected president, how would Obama spend your money?

A public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption says it has obtained documents detailing earmarks submitted by Barack Obama on behalf of his family and political supporters during his time in the Illinois senate.
According to Judicial Watch, the documents were obtained under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton notes the documents reveal that Obama really took care of his friends and family members with taxpayer money.
"Twenty-five thousand dollars to his wife's cousin, $100,000 to a garden project in Illinois that went nowhere and was wasted, $100,000 to the radical Catholic Priest Father Pfleger, $75,000 to an organization called FORUM, which is run by a group of people that, after they got the grant, gave him thousands of dollars in campaign contributions," Fitton recounts.
He adds that Judicial Watch also recently obtained records detailing the nature of Obama's controversial relationship with domestic terrorist William Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko.
"This is an unholy triumvirate -- Obama, Mr. Rezko, and Mr. Ayers. And Mr. Ayers and his wife, who's also a terrorist, were unrepentant and they were political supporters of Barack Obama," Fitton contends. "And as importantly, Barack Obama, through this Chicago Annenberg challenge, was actually funding Ayers' radical efforts to educate our school children, which is frightening."
Fitton says it is beyond comprehension why anyone would give money to a terrorist.

Ho-hum.
I mean, who cares what the messiah did BEFORE he started promising hope and change!
All I want to know is what he is saying now, everything else is the past!
How can you judge someone by the past! You must be a racist!

But he won't be spending my money. Since I am not fabulously wealthy, he will give me huge armfuls of cash. Not that we will need cash once the Messiah assumes power.

Yep, just like BC did with his "tax cuts." My taxes went up then and they will now, if BO is elected.
I think I am paying a bigger percentage of my income in taxes and gov. fees than for groceries, and I am making under 30K.

Irresponsibly!

I've heard this mentioned before - anyone have more details on what's so radical about his education ideas or links to further reading regarding this?

Communists and socialists have been supporting terrorism a long, long time.

He'll spend my money bring Heaven to Earth, probably with a vengeance.
And if Heaven proves troublesome, then he'll bring Hell instead.

Hey, cut the messiah some slack. The job description requires them to do things we question.

There is some very good insight into what we could expect the results would be from Obama's promises if he is elected. There are some comments about some insight that he was given, made by the the prophet Jeremiah that are germain imho. They can be found in the 17th chapter of his short story. Check out the 5th and 6th verse.

Google Saul Alinsky.... Ayers is a student of Alinsky (and an unrepentant terrorist.)

Barack Obama and Joe Biden will strengthen Small Business Administration programs that provide capital to minority-owned businesses, support outreach programs that help minority business owners apply for loans, and work to encourage the growth and capacity of minority firms.
Too bad if you're not a minority and you want to start a small business. You just get to pay the raised taxes to help your competitors. So much for "colorblind".
