hey what did he do after law school? (magna cum laude/harvard) he ran a voter registration drive in illinois. what did hillary do? (after she failed her first bar exam) corporate law (rose law firm).

obama just paid off his student loans 3 years ago, and only due to his book sales.

hillary has 50mil in the bank. come on!!

Didn't she run a voter drive in TX? (none / 0) (#77)

I thought his drive was just in the area that could help him, not all of Illinois? 150,000 new voters, right?

Wonder why (none / 0) (#82)

he didn't write off any of his student loan interest.  That would be line 24 in the 2000 return.

It's capped at 65K for individuals, 135K for couples.

I think Dennis wins in any lowest income, lowest net worth contest.

this post is truly hilarious... (none / 0) (#88)

... the anti-obama bias is so transparent and absurd. Obama just finishes paying off his student loans and takes a public service job instead of going for a 7 figure salary -- and jeryln still finds something to criticize.

Surprisngly no mention, how Obama was planning this dump of tax returns all at once to embarrass Clinton further. I could have sworn the clinton chorus here kept harping that Obama hadn't released all his returns. Apparently they were waiting for the clinton campaign to make that argument, so they could embarrass them with their lack of transparency 2 minutes later.

Is there something wrong (none / 0) (#98)
by badger on Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 04:27:12 PM EST
with being anti-Obama and point out things that are inconvenient for him?

Is this your pledge to quit being anti-Hillary and only say nice things about her?

there is a difference... (none / 0) (#119)

... between supporting your candidate and pointing out flaws in other candidates, and being a pure hack. Talking about Hillary's clothes effectively puts you into the hack category. Discussing the amount given to charity and ignoring the large financial debts obama had also puts you in the hack category.

Pointing out flaws in obama's healthcare plan is reasonable.
