There will be many issues for voters to consider when choosing between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. However, character will be the most important one. At this point, we know very little about Sen. Obama's character, because of the media love fest for him. Consider Obama’s character reflected in: The Media, Sen. Obama And He Who Must Not Be Named.

President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Re: The Second Chance Act, the Illinois Department of Corrections-Sheridan Correctional Center and WestCare Foundation, Inc. Mr. President: On or about April 9, 2008, you signed into law The Second Chance Act. Sir, I am The Second Chance Act. I was locked out of Sheridan Correctional Center (Sheridan) by Warden Michael Rothwell and the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). My Illinois Contract employer, WestCare Foundation, Inc.(WestCare), terminated my employment suggesting the termination is due to IDOC locking me out from my employment. I have filed a claim of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against IDOC and WestCare. I am sending you the following documents to suggest the conspiracy, discrimination and nefarious acts of IDOC and WestCare against me and The Second Chance Act of 2007. The documents are as follows: State of Illinois-Labor Dispute Appeal Recommended Decision, dated November 29, 2006 State of Illinois-Labor Dispute Appeal Decision of the Director of Employment Security, dated December 22, 2006 WestCare Employee Discussion Report suggesting a sexual harassment charge by Melinda Gubbels and creating a hostile environment charge by Kyra Peters, dated November 8, 2007 Letter to WestCare Human Resource Senior Vice President Michael Shields, dated November 8, 2007, regarding Discussion Report dated November 8, 2007 Advocacy Letter to the Honorable Congressman Danny Davis, dated November 15, 2007 Letter to Michael Shields regarding the WestCare Employee Discussion Report of November 8, 2007, dated November 16, 2007 regarding Ms. Melinda Gubbels false charges of sexual harassment against me E-mail to Stanley Brooks and Michael Shields regarding the WestCare Employee Discussion Report Conference of November 16, 2007 WestCare Employee Discussion Report finding me innocent of the false charges brought against me by Melinda Gubbels and Kyra Peters leading to my 2nd lockout from Sheridan, but alleging other communication charges against me, dated November 16, 2007 Letter to EEOC to supplement my charge of Discrimination, dated November 19, 2007 Letter to the Honorable Governor of Illinois, Rod R. Blagojevich, regarding my experiences” at Sheridan, dated May 12, 2008 EEOC amended charge and additional charge against IDOC and WestCare, dated May 12, 2008 Termination of Employment letter from WestCare, dated May 14, 2008 Fred L Nance Jr. Curriculum Vitae and cover letter to a employer, dated May 14, 2008 Sir, there may not be anything you can do about my situation. Nevertheless, I thought it imperative to send this letter to inform you and your committee of how “The Second Chance Act of 2007 is carried out by the Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically, Sheridan Correctional Center and WestCare Foundation, Inc. The Second Chance Act of 2007 is meant to reduce recidivism. It appears Sheridan and WestCare may not be part of this reduction process if they continue to operate in the manner spoken of in my writings. Recidivism can be reduced. I am a part of this reduction, but my rehabilitation did not come from IDOC or WestCare. My rehabilitation came from understanding what honesty, integrity and truth is all about. Respectfully submitted, Fred Nance Jr., ABD, MA, CADC, NCRS cc: The Honorable Congressman Danny Davis Equal Employment Opportunity Commission http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.co... |

Selecting Obama as Democratic presidential nominee is a disaster for Democratic Party. Republic party will win again.

Everyone has questionable characters in their lives but they are plentifull and extreme in Obamas. Has anyone noticed his pathetic reaction to the guilty verdict in the Rezko case, he handled it quite delicately, almost as if he were afraid to ruffle the feathers of his dear friend, the same responce came from Blagojevich. They also have the same campaign message, Blago's was "reform" and Obama's is "change", translation; more corruption just better at it. Rezko is going to stick it out in jail and hope his friend gets elected and if Obama dosn't win, Rezko is going to flip. Obama is in more than a Presidential race, he is in the fight for his life.

I hate to even justify your nonsense with a response, but suffice it to say, John, you are a nut..... Get some help. |

It seems ironic that the author is so concerned with Obama's character because he's from the world of Chicago politics. Yet the poster boy for the Keating 5, who was "dating" his current wife while still married to his first and who seems to have a fondness for a certain blonde lobbyist gets a pass? Oh yea, John McCain is just chock full of character unless he is held to the same standard as Obama.
As for the "thestraightway.org "; I think their obsession with gay sex says it all. Are you trying to tell us something Mr. McCormack?:) |

After reading this article I agree with everything said. I was born and raised in Chicago and lived her longer than what this Mayor has. Yes, Chicago is a corrupt city and Obama being an attorney for a corrupt businessman like Rezko had to know all about his wheeling dealings. Obama was also a racist for years along with his wife as stated in his book Dreams Of His Father. He started to dislike his mother and grandmother. I love this country and would never vote for a candidate that attended a racist white hating anti-american church for 20 years. That's not what I call a true American of this country. Hillary and McCain are true American's and Obama only wants to use Hillary so he can win the states she won. Outside of that he could careless about her. John Edwards and his Wife should stay out of politics and Obama should have worked out an Insurance Plan with Hillary not Elizabeth Edwards. Obama is no better than Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards. Biden and the DNC that went behind Hillary's back to get the superdelegates to give their votes for Obama. The old saying is you reap what you sow and you will see plenty of reaping before this campaign is over.

John McCormack's statements whould be on the YUTUBE so the whole US can read them then decide what they want to do before November. I do not know anything about the Muslim religion but I do know he is a Muslim and he is not christian. Wright does not preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and neigher does Father P. Let's face it Obama is an underhanded deceitful candidate who would cross anyone to get what he wants. And the DNC is in his corner. Any dirt found on Obama should hit the YUTUBE immediately before August. Just make sure its the truth. We don't need a racist president in the white house.

Any candidate that is pro-abortion is not a christian and that includes Obama who is pro-abortion. He is doing that for the votes not for the child. Why didn't he have his wife abort? Hillary's campaign workers should start a YUTUBE stating VOTE MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT OR WRITE HILLARY'S NAME ON THE BALLOT. I think that could do it and she would get thousands of write-ins. I don't know anything about UUTUBE but anyone that knows and likes Hillary can put in their YUTUBE and make her voters start thinking before its too late.

All your Hillary supporters if you read McCormack's letter he should put that on the YUTUBE and also you should advertise: ALL HILLARY CLINTON VOTERS WRITE HER NAME IN ON THE BALLOT OR VOTE MCCAIN. I can't do it because I don't know anything about the YUTUBE. But it has to be done before August.

Didn't Obama get a lot more from Rezko than $10,000 (closer to a quarter million)....Is this the $10,000 you are mentioning--was it payback for passing Bill 1332?
On May 31, 2003, Senate Bill 1332 passed and specified that the “Board shall be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate.” The legislation reduced the number of members from 15 to 9, paving the way for the appointment of a five-bloc majority to rig the votes. The corrupt members appointed included three doctors who contributed to Obama. Michel Malek gave Obama $10,000 on June 30, 2003 and donated $25,000 to Blagojevich on July 25, 2003. Malek also gave Obama another $500 in September 2003. |

Why was Father Pfleger allowed to adopt 3 little boys ??
Why was Father Pfleger allowed to serve on the campaign of a "LIVE BIRTH ABORTION" SUPPORTING CANDIDATE. Why was Father Pfleger allowed to have Nation of Islam, Farrahkan spew his hate from the sacred catholic church pulpit. Why was Father Pleger allowed to lead a group calling for the killing of a gun shop owner ? Why is Pfleger allowed to get arrested several times, and it be okay ? Why is Father Pfleger allow to mock whites and our Former first lady ? Why does the ArchBishop allow Pfleger to say and do and preach whatever he likes. Why does the Archbishop allow Pfleger to be an anti-semite and a Black Supremacist ? Why does Father Pfleger get away with all of this with just a slap on the wrist ? Lets ask the Pope...

I thought one of the most interesting comments that I have heard regarding the candidacy of Sen. Obama was the following. "Obama did not chose to run for the presidency, Obama was "chosen" to run for the presidency". I can only assume those that made the decision to "run" BHO for the nations highest office had motives far different from those orated from the campaign stage. The corrupt political combine from Illinois has everything to gain from this and absolutely nothing to lose. Obama may think he will be the president, in reality he will be the "figurehead", basically a "stooge" sitting in our nations capital blathering away while the real powers that be amass more power and money.

If Obama gets elected there will be change! The problem is it will be negative change Obama is the front man for George Soros and his cronies as they keep trying to push their hidden agenda. This well organized group along with the help of Chicago's corrupt policticans have promoted Obama as a man of change and if elected it will be a change the fleecing of America. Soros is using the media to prop up Obama and create a false illusion through a smoke & mirrors campaign. This election is being bought and the American people are be ing used. They are playing the race game and dividing whites & blacks too avoid attention to their true agenda, and creating a false sense of security as they play on the peoples emotions.
Everyone of us wants positive change Democrats, Republicans and Independents, but Obama and his associates are self seeking and that is not positive change. |

If Obama wants to clear the "Chicago Corruption air" he should sign a sworn affidavit promising not to, commute the sentence or pardon Tony Rezko or anyone else in the "Combine". He has made it clear in many debates w/Hillary that it was Bill who pardoned Ayers and repremanded Bush for commuting the sentence of Scooter. It's time for Barack to back up his slogan "CHANGE" with action, he already promised the press that he would not pardon Rezko so this act of good will should not be a big deal and it would put alot of voters at ease. "CHANGE" IT'S TIME TO PROVE IT.

Obama is no "new" type of politician...he is as corrupt as the day is long no he will probably not pardon Rezko (somehow Rezko will escape and go to Syria the "Chicago way"...However Obama will probably "pardon" Ms. Penny Pritzer of her $450 million debt to FDIC after her default of SUPERIOR BANK 2002...since she and her family donated $40,000 to Obama 2002-2004 and since she donated $30 million to univ. of chicao in 2003...wonder of ms.obama was "on board" then??? seems like Pritzer should of paid some of the people back their money before being so "generous" with Obama and U of CHICAGO and Obama had her on his finance committee on his campaign??? go figure
