CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH 8X8-INCH COLOR PICTURE OF BARACK AND MICHELLE HUGGING: Obama stands by his wife. Even though both Barack and Michelle are members of the same anti-white anti-American "church," even though Michelle only recently became "proud" of America, even though Barack uses Michelle furiously to promote his candidacy, even though Michelle would be America's First Lady if Barack wins, Barack "warns" Republicans to "lay off my wife." If elected, what else will Barack warn Americans to "lay off?"

ILLINOIS REVIEW
-- Thin-skinned Obamas - Fran Eaton
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2008/05/thin-skinned-ob.html (Includes video clip)
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is Obama saying his wife is above scrutiny and not to be held accountable for reckless and insulting comments such as those she was video-taped saying on Hardball or at a huge Obama rally? Those Obamas are very sensitive and extremely touchy especially for two savvy professionals who want the nation to believe they are politically experienced and tough enough to lead a nation through perilous times. aren't they? Oh, that Barack and Michelle were as sensitive about and so loyal to the very nation they say they are ready to govern.)

BUSINESS LEDGER
-- Hastert, Poshard campaign for (TAX INCREASES AND) state roads
http://www.thebusinessledger.com/Home/Archives/InTheNews/tabid/85/mid/393/newsid393/350/Default.aspx
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: We hear of Republicans and “Republican-oriented” companies that gave to Gov. Blagojevich’s campaigns and of lots of GOP-ers who supported Barack Obama in his Senate run against carpetbagger Alan Keyes. We remember Mayor Richard Daley and former Gov. George Ryan being “buddy-buddy” until the now-convicted Ryan’s troubles landed him in federal court. We remember former GOP Gov. Jim Thompson heading Blago’s transition team when he first took office. Heck, Daley and Blago have sometimes seemed to be friendlier with so-called political enemies than with supposed allies in their own party, e.g., Daley vs. Jane Byrne, Blago vs. Mike Madigan, father-in-law Ald. Dick Mell, or almost anyone. But the bottom line is that politicians usually can recognize the bottom line, and whether that means money or power or influence or votes, the bottom line is still an outstretched hand and a palm upward waiting for the just share of the take. Regardless of party, that’s the cynical and inevitable view of politics in our state. Of course, once in a great while, kind of like even a blind squirrel sometimes being able to find an acorn, what’s good for the “combine,” or whatever combination of politicians from either party really runs Illinois, is actually also good for the people of Illinois. One of those instances came into play recently in Naperville where former Speaker Dennis Hastert and former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Glenn Poshard, now president of Southern Illinois University, were the featured attractions as a “get out the roads funds” rally.)

POLITICO
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Tragically, the Democrat Party attracts minorities by demonizing conservatives and by demonizing conservatism. But wait, demonizing conservatives and demonizing conservatism is exactly what many Illinois Republican Party leaders, many Illinois Republican elected officials, and many Illinois Republican candidates have been doing for decades and continue to do.
