Obama paid late parking tickets
Taxes also unpaid! Journalists tucked this fact at the bottom of the article! I'll let you read the article, here are some things to consider: He was not some teenage undergraduate when he was running up this debt to local governments. Born in 1961, received tickets from 1988 to 1991. He was 27 when this started, he was 30 by the time the last one was issued. He was going to Law school. A law student who shows no respect for the law, and shows no concern for the local governments from which he was not paying his debts. Where was his respect for the taxpayers who had to pick up the bill instead? While the title of the article mentions parking tickets, Obama also failed to pay Excise taxes to the city he lived in. So for years, and while he was a US Senator, he was in arrears for taxes to a local government. A tax scofflaw running for President!

From the article:
[ QUOTE ] and $45 in late penalties for parking in a bus stop in 1990 and in a street-sweeping zone in 1991 [/ QUOTE ] Did the 29 year old Obama care about the low income people who have to travel by city bus? I wonder. Is compassion for the less well off supposed to be one of his strong points? |

So this is astroturfing in action? This is complete nonsense.

I just found this humourous commentary from a Boston newspaper.
This story may have legs: Hillary circling as Obama searches for parking space ![]() How low is this Hillary/Obama grudge match gonna get? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] The BGC account is frequently devoid of intellectual honesty, but what I don't get is why he'd astroturf with a "GOP inside" avatar. Seems like that destroys credibility immediately if the purpose is to try to blend in as some Joe Average poster. I think that part makes him legit. Or maybe I have been levelled. |

"I wasn't at that particular bus stop, but at my bus stop it's always a mild inconvenience when the bus can't butt up to the curb. Obama hates poor people. He is also overstating how crowded the street was that day when he claims he was "in a hurry" and "forced" to park in the bus stop. I wasn't there, but there's a street in front of my house that always has a couple spots open. I think he must have been high on them weeds or something." |

Damn, I might actually vote for him now. Then again, he caved to public pressure before it even happened and paid, so... no.
