No substance, no definition of "change"-- What the heck you think you'll get?

I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the US press to start doin' its job. Seems the UK journalists have beaten them to this point. Maybe they can give the NYT staff some pointers on actual investigative journalism.

Why the free pass to this candidate? Everyone else gets the microscope up the jacksie-- where is the scrutiny when it comes to this johnny-come-lately?

There are simply too many questions surrounding Mr. Obama-- personally and politically. Big, scary, unacceptable questions. The content of his campaign is non-existant, which A) doesn't impress; and B) again with the scary. Undefined change as it is presented in this campaign-- come on, it could be ANYTHING. And from a candidate with a Marxist scholastic bent, race-based church affiliation, murky advisors and murkier ties to unsavory (more than the usual) political/money guys-- I can't see the change coming for the better.

From the article, for example:

"It is unclear how Mrs Rezko could have afforded the downpayment of $125,000 and a $500,000 mortgage for the original $625,000 purchase of the garden plot at 5050 South Greenwood Ave.
In a sworn statement a year later, Mrs Rezko said she got by on a salary of $37,000 and had $35,000 assets. Mr Rezko told a court he had "no income, negative cash flow, no liquid assets, no unencumbered assets [and] is significantly in arrears on many of his obligations." "
Really. Read this. Think about the next four years.
