POLITICAL ROUND UP: KILPATRICK PLEADS NOT GUILTY / OBAMA RELEASES TAX RETURNS
Wednesday, March 26, 2008

On Wednesday, Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, pleaded not guilty to perjury charges regarding an affair and using taxpayer money in an attempt to cover it.
They were released on $75,000 bail each, and preliminary examination has been set for June 9. If convicted of all charges, Kilpatrick could face up to 90 years in jail.
OBAMA RELEASES TAX RETURNS

Sen. Barack Obama released seven years of tax returns on Tuesday and his campaign criticized Sen. Hillary Clinton for not releasing her 2006 returns.
In a statement, Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director said:
“Senator Clinton recently claimed that she’s ‘the most transparent figure in public life,’ yet she’s dragging her feet in releasing something as basic as her annual tax returns. Senator Clinton can’t claim to be vetted until she allows the public the opportunity to see her finances — particularly with respect to any investment in tax shelters.”
At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Clinton announced she would be moving the release date of her tax returns. The documents could possibly be made public within the week.
Obama’s tax returns are available online.
Obama’s campaign is billing a “major” speech about the economy which the senator will deliver Thursday morning in New York City, following remarks by Republican candidate John McCain on the housing market on Tuesday and Sen. Clinton on Monday.

@71,You’re obviously from the Kat Williams school of relationships. lol.
But guess what, I never said all women should leave or throw anything away. Re-read what I wrote slowly and careffully before you get all twisted up and carrying on. I’m suggesting, based on the allegations of his many indiscretions (which I beleive are true), that this man has a pattern of behavior that’s not likely to change just because she stays with him. Furthermore, there are PLENTY of women who stay in bad relationships for reasons other than love or to hold the family together. Maybe that’s not your steez but don’t bother coming at me like that’s not a fact.
I can agree to disagree but please don’t tell me about my ‘world’. Speak for yourself.

Let me ask my fellow readers a couple of questions:
On Kwame “Shug Knight” Kilpatrick:
1. Considering the alternative to Kwame being the Mayor (Detroit City Charter dictates that in the event the sitting Mayor is recalled, the president of the City Council takes their place) is someone who is almost just as shady…Kenyatta.. is the devil you know better than the one you don’t? Also, considering that most of the voting public in Detroit continues to re-elect the same clowns based on name recognition… will the plight of the city change once Kwame’s gone? Just a thought.
On Barack Obama:
1. Am I the only one tired of hearing Tavis Smiley whine and ride against Sen. Obama? I can’t even listen to Tom Joyner anymore. Can Tavis get out of his feelings about Barack not going to his debate long enough to listen to what his people are saying? Or does the fact that a black president takes a lot of shine away from a person who styles themselves as the mouthpiece of black America? Discuss.

for #33 and everyone else comparing Kwame to Bill Clinton or Elliot Spitzer:
Not condoning what any of these men did, but what makes Kwame’s case criminal is that both he and Christine lied to a federal grand jury, while under oath, in a lawsuit involving whistleblowing by two of Kwame’s security detailed officers. He then went to great legnths in a cover-up after the fact that added to his crimes. Now when that murder case drops….. THAT’s when he’s gonna get caught… R.I.P. Tamarra.
Bill just got on tv and “mispoke” like his wife does….When the Ken Starr report came out, his bias was called into question with in turn took a lot of validity from his findings… Tricky Bill rode into the sunset.
Elliott may not be out of the clear yet. I’m sure if they’re already following the money like they’re doing, I’m sure a tax case will come out of this…. at the very least. They’re probably just waiting for the new guy to stop snitching on himself.

@DetroitGirl
Thank You! I thought I was the only one who noticed this about Tavis. I stopped listening to the Tom Joyner morning Show ( even though I won that $1,000.00) because of him. Everytime Tavis speaks about Obama it sounds more like jealousy than anything else; staight up BITCHASSNESS! LOL. I truly believe that Tavis is showing loyalty to the Clintons simply because Bill mentioned Tavis’ little book in his book. Tavis Smiley is a straight up Uncle Tom clown!

This just proves how dumb men are when they’re cheating. Would not have mattered if he was just some broke nobody or God his dumb ass would have been caught eventually. And what’s with guys lying even AFTER they’re busted, what an idiot.
Obama is “ballin’” for sure. I like him.
