It's so cute how you equate "officials in Denver" with the Obama campaign. Nowhere in that entire BLOG did I read it anything that indicated the Obama people were paying for these homeless people to be cleaned up or shipped out.
Perhaps it was the City of Denver who realized that nationawide images of their city would be broadcast and rather than have people sleeping and pissing on the streets they did something. it's too bad that they won't keep up the help once the convention leaves but that is how big cities work.
As for Obama taking care of his brother in Kenya, I wonder, do you feel the same way about Cindy McCain taking care of her half-sister? The one born to her father from his first marriage, the marriage he left after cheating on his then wife and six year old daughter with Cindy's mother! Cindy claims she's an only child but the truth has come out and she certainly doesn't have the excuse that she didn't know her father therefore didn't know she had this sister.
Some of you say the Republican ideal is to do for yourself, work for what you want, achieve your dreams through hardwork and persaverance, yet in the same breath you call Obama and his wife elitiest even though they started life poor and worked their way through college on loans and part-time jobs and they achieved the wealth they now enjoy through their OWN hard work, not by marrying a beer heiress.
Colorado is run by a Democrat.
Cindy McCain adopted a starving child from a third world country and gave her a better life. She also takes care of a elderly aunt. That's two she's up on Obama for. Then there is this:
Cindy founded and ran the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT) from 1988 to 1995. AVMT provided emergency medical and surgical care to impoverished children throughout the world. Cindy led 55 medical missions to third world and war-torn countries during AVMT's seven years of existence. On one of those missions to Mother Teresa's orphanage, Cindy was convinced to take two babies in need of medical attention to the United States. One of those babies is now their adopted daughter, 16-year-old Bridget McCain.
In recent years, three organizations in particular have been the subject of her international focus: HALO, Operation Smile, and CARE.
As a member of the Board of Trustees for the HALO Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to landmine removal and weapons destruction in war-torn countries, Cindy has traveled to numerous countries to see firsthand the impact HALO has had by removing landmines. She recently returned from her second visit to Cambodia. She has also traveled to Sri Lanka, Mozambique, and Angola.
Cindy also serves on the Board of Directors for Operation Smile, a non-profit organization whose mission is to repair cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities for children around the world. Since 1982, Operation Smile has provided free reconstructive surgery to more than 100,000 children and young adults in 25 countries. Cindy has assisted on volunteer missions to Morocco, India, and Vietnam. She is scheduled to return to Vietnam on another mission during the summer of 2008.
Plus, she doesn't go around shooting her mouth off about how I'm expected to volunteer my services because Barak SAYS so Like Michelle does. Talk about egomaniacs.
Did I say I was a Republican.....assume much?
