Hillary's slumlord comment Monday night? Joe Johns said after
the debate that this was "a serious charge that had been buzzing around political circles for weeks," But since the MSM wants Obama to win, they sat on the story all this time.Remember how they helped Gingrich the same way?

Johns says the Chicago newspapers have been all over this, yet the national media has a "See no evil" policy towards Obama so we haven't heard of it.Johns also said Obama's "Oh, that's nothing" dismissal of the charges won't do because, at least back in Chicago, this is considered a hot story that won't go away.

Gee, I remember something about a land deal the Clintons were involved in. Did Bush's whore media cover that up like they're doing for Obama?

2. Yes but running on a whiter than white campaign

comes down crashing quicker if the guy turns out to be dirty.

The voters think he's wonderboy and a good guy but something like this will make them turn off him quicker than lightening.

3. I saw Joe Johns report and you added a lot to it
There has been coverage of this. Obama answered questions about this twice on Meet the Press.

This is personal for you, isn't it?

It was really cute the way Hillary said it, lol. She winded up and then at the end she let Obama have it, and you know what she did enjoy it and so did I!

9. I loved that part too, but Obama hit her with the first low blow, she was just returning the favor.
Obama mentioned wal mart first.

7. Don't trust the MSM
They were probably hoping this would stay hidden under the radar until or if Obama becomes the
Democratic nominee for President. Then they would be all over it, again, working to help the
Republican nominee. Get more bang for their buck later versus now.

11. are you arguing that they should investigate Obama/Rezko
like they did Whitewater?

Or that they should not have investigated Obama just as they should not have investigated Whitewater?

Either way, seems like Hillary shouldn't be knocking someone for being involved in a somewhat similar situation that she was in. It's a little hypocritical.

16. The msm did sit on the story for well over a year. You are right. It is because they want him to win
The only reason they are covering it now is because Hillary forced their hand.
