Lisa Madigan crosses the river for Obama
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is in Missouri today, honing fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama’s pitch to female voters.

This evening, Madigan will participate in a similar event in Boone County.
Madigan — daughter of Illinois House Speaker and State Democratic Party Chairman Michael Madigan — is viewed as a possible appointee to the U.S. Senate, should Obama ascend to the White House.
If not, Lisa Madigan may also challenge Gov. Rod Blagojevich in two years.


Newsflash, “logic”. The Bush years are leaving us alot less well off than anything Carter might have done. As if everything else Bush has done to us isn’t enough, now he’s wrecked our economy as well. As we nosedive into a depression, Bush will go down as worse than Hoover. McCain votes with the guy 90% of the time, so no chance for change there.
Obama believes in tax breaks for the middle class. Call that socialism all you want, but when middle class people have more money in their pocket, they have more money to spend to pump into to economy instead of just making passive income off it like the rich can do. Republican economic policies have been perpetrating reverse socialism ever since Reagan, with wealth being redistributed from the middle class to the very wealthy.
Under Obama’s plan, if you make under $250,000, you will get a tax break under Obama, and if you make more than $250,000 you’ll pay just as much in taxes as people did during the administration of your hero, Ronald Reagan. I don’t call that socialism, I call that fairness. We don’t need anymore Republican-style socialism.
