TOOGOOD FORYOU of CHINA, ME Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's campaign distanced itself Thursday from its $800,000 payment linked to the liberal ACORN organization, which is under investigation in several states where it is suspected of filing fraudulent voter registrations.

Federal Election Commission reports show ACORN-affiliated Citizens Services Inc. got $832,598 from the Obama campaign for get-out-the-vote work during the primaries. But those payments stopped in May and the Obama campaign says they should not be an election issue.

TOOGOOD FORYOU of CHINA, ME Barack Obama's newly appointed Muslim outreach adviser is coming under fire for meeting with Islamic groups with extremist views, just two months after her predecessor resigned over links to a radical cleric.

Minha Husaini met with members of several Islamic organizations in Virginia on September 15 -- including some that terrorism experts say have ties to Hamas and the radical Muslim Brotherhood.

Sherman of Pittston, ME You want to home school your kids so that they will revel in your mislead mantras.. you will likely teach that evolution is a misguided religion concocted by some guy name Darwin... That your way of thinking is the only way to think... that life is one dimensional and it's your dimension... That you think you know everything you need to know to teach your kids everything they will need to learn... did you even graduate with the rest of us commies.. You will need to keep your sheltered unprepared kids home, and I hope my taxes won't be needed to help them cope in the real world.report abuse

Rush2Judge of Augusta, ME BLINK of CHINA, ME,

Blink you are blind to what is going on. There is plenty of blame to go around for the current crisis. The last 2 or 3 administrations, congress and anyone from the home buyer to the CEOs on Wall Street are on the list. There is a difference between helping the middle class and a Marxist.

Sadly for if Obama wins you will take over my turning stomach. I cam only hope that Bush doesn't start another unnecessary war, suspend more constitutional rights or do some other stupid thing. If McCain wins we can worry about that and of course pretaxing our decedents with huge deficits.report abuse
