Hey, thanks for that advice. It’s not what I would like to have built in here on the site, but it’s definitely a powerful tool. I’ll have to play around with it a little to see if I can tweak the search criteria to compile a Barry O. list of lies, flip flops, dubious connections and shennanigans.
Thanks again!

This is all very interesting, but what is any different from all the stuff that came out about Slick and partner, and they still got in office.

For one thing, did Blackwell’s payments to Obama for legal services result from any actual work, or was this a method of getting cash to the Obamas while avoiding campaign-finance regulations?

I think it is just an ordinary bribe to Obama, giving him a cut of the $650,000 contract. This is Chicago, after all.

Avoiding campaign-finance regulations is not the goal when it puts money in Obama’s personal bank account.

How did Obama get so much personal wealth as a “community organizer”, a professor who did not publish anything, and a state senator? It is ordinary Chicago democrat machine politics corruption.

Notice Michelle’s Worshippers robe..
By the looks of her body language, it looks like she might be “building up his ego” by trying to the crowd believe a “fish tail”….

This looks bad, it really does. It is just the kind of thing that makes people distrust politicians.

I am glad dave was banned. He was starting to put me in mind of a creepy serial killer type guy.

I read his comments. I guess I’m not Politically Correct enough, I still don’t know why he was banned. Could it be that he is not liked by some here? Oh well, no big deal, gotta go now . I have a concert to boycott and some books to burn. coldshot on August 22, 2008 at 3:58 PM

Google is your friend. They have already compiled a searchable database of everything ever posted on this site.

For example, to see every comment by “KMC1″ ever posted and the articles to which those comments refer, enter the following line in the google search text box:

KMC1 site:hotair.com

and view the results.

Obviously, you can use other search terms with ‘site:hotair.com’.

If you dislike Google, for some reason, it ‘should’ be possible to do the same thing with other search engines. Consult those search sites for the proper search syntax.

Another reason why one should be cautious about what comments one makes on any site, because they can come back to haunt you.

Let me get this straight:

In 2001-2002, Obama’s primary source of income was $80,000 from Blackwell Consulting.

In 2002, Obama elected to state Senate.

From 2002-2004, Obama returned the favor giving Blackwell state grants totaling $320,000.

In March 2005, Michelle Obama promoted to VP external affairs at Univ. of Chicago Hospitals.
Salary went from $121,910 to $316,962.

In 2005, Mrs. Obama gave Blackwell a $650,000 contract.
