What BALLS! He superimposes himself with a picture of Obama then places it in an African American newspaper. He obviously thinks the voters are stupid. If Obama knew Cacchione’s political history he would RUN in the other direction. Shame on Cacchione for even giving the inkling that he KNOWS Obama or has the esteemed Senator’s support.

When he was a lobbyist I am guessing? I suppose if he photoshopped in a photo of MLK or Malcom, that would go over about as well.

I wish Obama would help out Jamilah Nasheed with the takeover fight.
What’s up with Giegrich’s attitude nowadays?
see his latest story on her?

Antonio, Thanks for the increased expose on my ad, much appreciated. Sorry guys, hate to burst your bloggy bubble, the photo is real.

Obama wouldn’t be able to pick out Patrick Cacchione from a lineup.

This is a great testimony to Obama’s ability to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans.

Giegrich doesn’t need you all anymore. School board is over. I hear he is now best friends with Bill Purdy. Maybe Bill will hire him to replace John Little.

Wake up call…Obama is a Democrat; Cacchoine is a Republican.
Go figure. A better picture would be Alderman Lewis Reed with Patrick Cacchione.

From Patrick’s school of politics:
USE SELECTIVE HONESTY AND GENEROSITY TO DISARM YOUR VICTIM. One sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of dishonest ones. Open hearted gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most suspicious people. Once your selective honesty opens a hole in their armor, you can deceive and manipulate them at will. A timely gift — a Trojan Horse — will serve the same purpose.

Oh great, get Obama to help you get best blog! How do I compete with him? Looking through my celeb pictures the best I can do is cult director John Waters.
BTW, the Cacchione ad was also in the American.

kjoe help Nasheed. Looks like she is headed for a seat on a dead school board. What kind of article was that.

I thought she would be a representative in the assembly with Jay Nixon as Governor after 2008.

Antonio you have some nerve…YOU allowed a mailer for your client to go out of John Bass after he died. You are using the picture of Patrick with Obama to deflect the issue of you and your client using the dead to pander for votes. What nerve.

You are using the picture of Patrick with Obama to deflect the issue of you and your client using the dead to pander for votes. What nerve.
Yeah, Antonio. How dare you try to deflect this “issue” by posting about it on your blog. Really trying to bury it, huh? What nerve…

Wasn’t John Bass blind?
March 4th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
He created the blog to attack Cacchione on the issue of Obama in a pic. Obama has met numerous people since he announced for president. He probably wont remember anyone!
March 5th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
Antonio is just jealous that he doesn’t have a picture of Obama and Reed together. So he can’t spin.

It shows that French ran for school board and lost big. Now he knows politics? Don’t think so
