Obama presses Clinton


Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has published seven years of tax returns on his website and urged his rival, Hillary Clinton, to do the same.

Mr. Obama's spokesman said he hoped the release of tax returns would encourage her to let people "see her finances" before the key primary in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Clinton said she hoped to release her tax returns "within the next week". Earlier, Mrs. Clinton was forced to explain how she came to misrepresent a visit she made to Bosnia in the 1990s.

She said last week that she and her daughter, Chelsea, "ran with our heads down" to avoid sniper fire when she arrived at Tuzla airport in 1996. But television footage broadcast on Monday showed her smiling as they are greeted by a Bosnian government welcoming committee.

Mr. Obama's aides said the admission was proof that Mrs. Clinton had overstated her foreign policy experience.

The closer we get to the electoral day the worst the fight turns, actually it has already turn into a dirty war and I’m not sure if that’s working for them and not for McCain who continues clean and away from all these!

Obama’s passport files

If Obama will be elected he will definitely have a lot of work to do if he doesn’t want to live what F.J.K. lived with FBI and other internal foes. Apparently the latest incident comes from the US Department of State that had to fire two contractors and disciplined a third for accessing the passport file of presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

A spokesman for the department, Sean McCormack, said the cases were probably the result of "imprudent curiosity". But he said it was not clear what the employees may have seen or what they were looking for. In the times we live curiosity is just …out of question.

A spokesman for Mr. Obama suggested that the government could be using private information for "political purposes". And he is right. The strange thing is what they were looking for, all these stupid things like he was trained in Pakistan and his real name is Osama? How naïve or how stupid they can be.
