As Obama's political mentor, do YOU know who Emil Jones is?

Question

He took Obama under his wing and put him in the limelight. He gave Obama "projects" to "overhaul" that had been in the works since the days of former Senator Paul Simon. Jones had no part in the initial proposals of the new bills, but he accepted credit for their introduction and passed them on to Obama without question. These "landmark" bills were deemed Obama's great successes, but he did little more than get handouts from Jones. This isn't the first time Jones has given handouts. In 2005 Jones gave Lorrie Rickman Stone a lucrative position as the "Mental Health Program Director"with a starting salary of $116,000. Two months later, Jones married Stone and gave her a $70,000 raise bumping her salary to nearly $190,000. Lorrie Rickman Jones now has a budget of over 700 million dollars to distribute where "she" sees fit. Jones will be resigning his seat as president of the Illinois Senate in January 2009....to succeed him, he's chosen his son Emil Jones III. If this is Obama's political mentor, do you trust his "experience"?

Answer 1

Hence the teleprompter.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, that's what the rich do for themselves...make themselves rich-er.  How can the PEOPLE start a campaign of accountability?

Answer 3

May I ask why EVERY TIME somebody points out all of these crooks Obama hangs out with, it's not his fault. They say Obama didn't do it, stick to his votes (like leaving babies to die AFTER they're born?) Stick to his accomplishments (tell me one and I will). Obama is the the Pied Piper leading the ignorant off to the edge of the world.

Answer 4

OMG is it impossible to talk about Obama himself?  Is it possible to talk about his votes, his policies and the issues our country faces?
