    The $150 Million Dollar Man

    You heard me ... Obama ... $150 million in donations ... in September alone. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27262116/ October could be the same. Remember, McCain only has $84 million he can spend between September and the election. This likely will change things in future elections. I can't...

    Our President wants my family to hang his photo in our home, so says a letter I just received. The photo is nice. It shows the handsome first couple in a comfortable pose, presumably outside their Crawford Texas Ranch. Reading the accompanying letter, it seems it was sent by our local...
