Obama Posts Tax Returns on the Internet, Calls on Clinton to Follow Suit Immediately
Clintons’ investment in Cayman Islands firm shows need for full and prompt disclosure
CHICAGO, IL—Senator Barack Obama today posted his tax returns from 2000-2006 on his campaign website, demonstrating his continued commitment to transparency in government and changing business as usual in Washington. The returns are complete, including all schedules, and are now available to anyone to view. The Obama campaign urged Senator Clinton to join Senator Obama in making her returns public.
Full disclosure on Senator Clinton’s part is especially important because she recently loaned $5 million to her campaign, shortly after revelations surfaced that her husband was to receive a $20 million payout from Yucaipa, a supermarket holding company that invests in tax shelters in the Cayman Islands.
Easter Bunnies

(Berlin, Germany - 7.30 p.m. local time)
The media circus continues between Obama & Hillary and even my friends get tired of this. To be correct the only emails I got over the Easter holidays, while I was editing were campaign messages from Obama.
There must be some intense pressure if they work over-time to keep the world in the loop. My feedback is - relax, unwind and do not take this hysterical Clinton circus too serious. It seems their tactics do not work anyway - its predictable and stupid to get trapped in this kind of rhetoric.
Here is what one of my friends had to say:
You are sweating and we’re over here sweating too. This chick, Hillary has really...really disappointed me and people, I mean out right lies, the media here was finally set straight by one of the most important speeches in America since “I have a dream”.
She is not a shining example of how Americans should do business with its fellow man. In the end, that is what this is all about, a whole new paradigm in thinking and action...
Pres Clinton inferred that Obama does not love the country while she creates Hollywood stories about dodging sniper fire and her foreign policy experience. I am beyond amazed.
Another excerpt comes from an email I received:
Of National Lies and Racial Amnesia: Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama, and the Audacity of Truth By Tim Wise published online March 18, 2008
No, it is not the pastor who distorts history; Nick at Nite and your teenager's textbooks do that. It is not he who casts aspersions upon "this great country" as Barack Obama put it in his public denunciations of him; it is the historic leadership of the nation that has cast aspersions upon it; it is they who have cheapened it, who have made gaudy and vile the promise of American democracy by defiling it with lies. They engage in a patriotism that is pathological in its implications, that asks of those who adhere to it not merely a love of country but the turning of one's nation into an idol to be worshipped, if not literally, then at least in terms of consequence.
Another interesting little link that you might enjoy came in.
The mass media is up in arms about Barack Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright and his speeches, but why is the Hillary camp so quiet about this manner? Hmm?
Check out the link below.

And ultimately I got a link send by a young cat whom I never met, but who dropped me an email few days ago with a link to his EPK. No holding back for F.I.S-T (FEISTY)
