There goes my vote

The Boston Globe has discovered Senator Obama's dirty ole secret. He had unpaid traffic tickets up to nineteen years old!

Two weeks before the US senator from Illinois launched his presidential campaign, he paid parking tickets he received while attending Harvard Law School, officials said yesterday.

Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, according to the city's Traffic, Parking & Transportation Department.

Of those tickets, he paid only two while he was a student and paid them late, said Susan Clippinger, the office's director.

Absolutley scandalous. How this man would think the US voting public would support such a deadbeat is beyond me.(Cue the sarcastic laughter)
