Records reveal Obama pushed the Iraqi foreign minister to object to early withdrawal of US troops until AFTER the election. Obama's not a supreme being, rather he's a supreme liar.

sulcus...I read this over a couple of times and see nothing out of the way...seems to me that the mayor was doing what she could to better life in the city she was responsible for..the following items do not seem like any waste to me. So what point are you trying to make? Do Alaka's pay taxes like the rest of America? why should they not receive federal help in making their cities better? ....."In a monthly status report to the city on March 7, 2000, newly hired "City Lobbyist" Steve Silver describes how the Palin administration had requested $6.6 million in federal earmarks for water and sewer improvements for Wasilla, and another $1 million for police equipment. Mayor Palin reviewed and signed the lobbyist's report, dated April 5, 2000. In the letter, Silver asks Stevens for $6.6 million for wells, a pump house, a reservoir and piping to improve water and sewer service for the city of 7,000 people. Silver then asks his former boss for police equipment for Wasilla, including $100,000 worth of radar units, bulletproof vests, Remington shotguns, Colt rifles and other gear. (The police earmark seems to have shrunk from the initial $1 million request.) But Ashdown said that his research shows that as Mayor of Wasilla, between 1996-2002, Palin helped get nearly $27 million in earmarked federal funding. As previously reported, Palin and Silver were instrumental in bringing in millions for a local commuter rail project, a regional dispatch center, bus and airport facilities and other Wasilla projects."....
