Biden's Son, Brother Named in Two Suits

Hunter Biden was made president with an annual salary of $1.2 million, despite his inexperience in the hedge fund industry, the lawsuit said. Before that, he had been part of the Washington law firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, which earned $1.76 million in lobbying revenue in the first half of 2006, according to Congressional Quarterly's CQ MoneyLine.

Hunter was a lobbyist... until yesterday. I applaud his decision to step away from his lucrative career as a lobbyist... especially as the Obama/Biden ticket has criticized McCain for involvement in lobbyists.

Today's "Political Word of the Day" is dedicated to the Obama/Biden campaign... the word? HYPOCRITICAL.

I'm Brian and I approve this message.

Obama, Biden's Son Linked By Earmarks

Washington Post: Candidate Got Funding For Nursing Program Represented By VP Pick's Son, A Lobbyist

Sen. Barack Obama sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for clients of the lobbyist son of his Democratic running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, records show. Obama succeeded in getting $192,000 for one of the clients, St. Xavier University in suburban Chicago.

I wonder if Charlie Gibson can arrange another sitdown with Barry to discuss this... Perhaps these are things he should have dug into months ago, then he could have asked him about THIS rather than about how Barry's family feels about his breaking the glass ceiling...

Obama in 2004: I Wouldn’t Have Enough Experience to Run in 2008

"You know, I am a believer in knowing what you are doing when you apply for a job, and I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. Now there are some people that might be comfortable doing that, but I am not one of those people." -- Barack Obama

So, at what point did he become one of those people?

"I just don't think he's got yet the proven substance or experience to be president." --Jimmy Carter

So, at what point did Carter suddenly change his mind?

I love the hypocrisy. Maybe Hunter Biden was paid to lobby Barry... to convince him to run and save the country.

NO, of course you don't have to agree with "us," or even be "pleased" with our answers.

But when you make a statement and someone replies, you can at least acknowledge the statement and/or acquiesce. You could have responded with, "Hmmm...Jess. That's interesting. I wasn't aware there were so many VPs with more experience than the lead candidate. For me, it's also about the kinds of experience that they hold. For instance..."

OF course, someone on here is bound to jump on you for that too, I'm sure.

P.S. This thread is far from a thoughtful debate about issues. It's more a long string of posts linking to random liberal and conservative pundits and various snippets from us about those links, IF we even bother to follow the links. Mostly I choose not to. There's so much noise it's hard to hear anything.

Keep scrolling by...

The first source was based on a study of over 6000 articles using a scientific algorithm.

The source you are using is based on the American voter's thinking.

Which one would you think is more reliable?

That being said...since perception is most people's reality, I'm going to have to say that the second one means a lot more, even if the first one is "true."

Co-sign, Amen, Tishy is love, and all that jazz.
