Obama's Shell Game
Ahead of the state primary here in North Carolina, Barack Obama has been running adds against the oil compainies and states that he does not take money from lobbyists. Is this true? What is the difference between a lobbyist and a person or corporation that donates alot of money to a campaign to have favorable legislation passed to help them in return? Nothing. He raised more than $1 million in the first three months of his presidential campaign from law firms and companies that have major lobbying operations in Washington DC. While he does not take money directly from official Washington lobbyists, he does accept money from local state lobbyists, financial contributors to the DC lobbyists, as well as corporate CEOs and investors including $160, 000 from the Big Oil & Gas companies-including Exxon, Shell, BP, & Chevron. He has also accepted money from Antoin Rzko who is on trial for a kickback scheme in Illinois. He has accepted money from The New Black Panther Party which is trying to acquire special rights, freedoms, and economic support (as well as a new country) for African-Americans (a term I hate to use because a person is either an American or not. If you want to be African, then be African, but if you want to be an American , be an American-you can't have it both ways. This goes with any other group calling themselves something-American). When he made the speech deriding blue collar workers in Pennsylvania, he was at a $2300 per head fundraiser. Are these the average Americans he is supposed to be helping if he is elected President, or are these the big business, upper class elite that he will be pandering to if elected? The blind and stupid will follow anyone anywhere, like cattle to slaughter, and he will lead this country to a slaughter of the middle class that has never been seen before. All of Obama's campaign is a shell game. He says one thing thing and then hides the truth under another shell. When people try to find out the truth, he shuffles it around and hides it somewhere else so that they only see what he wants them to see. Unfortunately, it is we the people of the United Staes of America (and perhaps the world) that are being taken for eberything we have.
