    Does Obama's aunt living in a Boston slum raise any red-flags for you concerning Obama?

    At first I figured, "just another distant relative on the deadbeat father's side...but he actually discusses her in his book. Citing how she has no government security to fall back on should she be laid off; all she has is family.

    Not giving to charity while making 400k+ a year, having a half-brother living in a hut overseas (I brushed this off as just a distant half-relative), but now the aunt?

    Seems like Obama is all talk to me.

    Shouldnt you be hoping so? , he might be a cool candidate if he is the Ultimate Liar I'm looking for.

    Lie his way to the White House only to tear down once in the big chair.

    dude-- there is nothing to this story - put it will all the other "questionable" things on Obama's judgment - his associations - his character -- his beliefs. These are just garbage made up by the hate machine. See his plan will feed his aunt -- give her shelter -- he wont give any of his own money but he wants to give yours... not his -- yours. he wants to take yours and give it. I mean any plan that pushes charity (welfare or wealth redistribution) through compulsion (government) has got to be great right ? I mean since Obama lives his life that way and gives so much of his money to others..
    just quit work the day he gets in office and he will take care of you -- that is the best option.

    Wouldn't having multiple DUIs and running businesses into the ground be a cause for concern? All of a sudden we have conservatives wanting to vet every known relationship of a democrat meanwhile and dubya had decided to put people's lives in danger due to their decisions to drive drunk. yet not a peep out of conservatives then .. that's wierd.

    So I assume you have reached out all of your distant relatives who aren't doing well? Would that be correct? Or is this one of those holding Obama to a completely different standard that you live by?

    I'm

    a) not running for president

    b) not writing in my books about said family members' hard times of suffering

    c) not preaching to others to be their "brother's keeper, sister's keeper"

    d) not demanding wealth redistribution and spreading of your wealth

    e) not making millions a year

    f) not telling every family member/questionable acquaintance to keep their mouths shut until Nov 5.

    g) not creating a false illusion of such a charitable public figure when in reality I do nothing I tell people they should be doing.

    h) NOT CALLING OTHERS SELFISH.

    Honest Question to Conservatives.

    What the is wrong with your brain? Use it. You lost any creditability when you elected George Bush.

    It's stunning how weak these arguments have become over the past month.

    Nothing is working, is it? Too bad for you guys.

    What obligations do any of us have to relatives we hardly know? I can't say that I feel very obligated to any of my aunts, uncles, or cousins even though we had some good times in the past and there is no family feud. Is anybody here different?

    We are selfish for not wanting to give more money to taxes according to Lord-Not-so-Merciful yet he doesn't even throw a couple bones while making millions at his slum-living aunt who he cites in his book as needing help from family?

    I'm trying to figure out what it takes for people to snap out of their trance for one second and question this compassionate American.

    I know ChumpDumper is deeply concerned with this. What say you Sir Dumper of Chumps?

    Tell us all exactly what you think Obama should be doing with his aunt and what it has to do with running the country.

    What if she doesn't want any help?

    What if she is living in the slums to help collect her inner-dark motivation needed to take on Ra’s al Ghul?

    This thread is flawed because it assumes that Obama actually believes what he preaches. Politicians on the national level are 99% of the time in it for the power, money and fame. If Obama thought that a platform that included lowering taxes on the rich and raising taxes on the poor would get him elected, I'd have no doubts that he'd go down that path. Same for McCain.

    Let's be real.
