Obama’s Finance Hypocrisy

Written By : Donald Douglas

Folks might want to go back and take a look at the very first piece I published at Pajamas Media, “Obama’s Fundraising Fraud.”

At the time of writing, in late October 2008, the Barack Obama presidential campaign had raised more the $200 million in small contribution of $200 or less. Such small individual donations are not reported to the FEC, as I noted at the essay:

These small donations do not require public disclosure under FEC guidelines, and the Obama campaign refuses to make public its list of contributors. Obama earlier announced he’d accept public financing if the GOP nominee did the same (and then, of course, broke his pledge in June after realizing he’d far surpass previous fundraising records). So there’s a pattern. By keeping his donor list secret now, the Illinois senator has heightened speculation of financial impropriety. Not only can Obama’s inside operatives organize massive bundling operations outside the law, there are no safeguards against the new “fat cat” contributors who bundle their own cash. Hillary Clinton’s Norman Hsu scandal from late-2007 points to the kind of abuses possible under the current regime. A more serious breach of faith may be taking place right now in the Obama camp.

There are rarely ever serious consquences to financial impropriety in campaign fundraising, and with “Mr. Chicago Boy” in the White House, it’s common knowledge that this administration is the most corrupt in decades. So I had to literally shake my head in disgust upon reading this statement from the White House:

With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans. This ruling gives the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington–while undermining the influence of average Americans who make small contributions to support their preferred candidates. That’s why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision. The public interest requires nothing less.

Also, just now at Pajamas, “Supreme Court Strikes Down Campaign Finance Laws: A Decisive Blow for the First Amendment.”

And of course, here it comes: “Democrats Plan to Push Bill to Limit Impact of Campaign Finance Decision.”

This surge by the Republicans will not last.
President Obama has been in office for one year.
The economy has been in a mess since 2007 with signs of the trouble long before that.
This mess all started with greed and the Republican way of self interest.
We are in such a hole that it may take years to get to full recovery.
It will not happen in one or two years.
Stop blaming the Dems for the economic mess.
Yes, things are bad.
Yes, people are still losing their homes and jobs.
Yes, there is fear.
What people need to do is to stop voting out of fear.
Vote with your heads.
Remember what political party put us in this mess.
It was the Republican Party.
Scott Brown will not change things.
He may help to get in the way of Health Care Reform and a few other things because the Democrats now have less than 60 seats in the Senate.
Health Care Reform is a great thing as it would give the people the power of choice.
If there is no Health Care Reform, then health care continues to be the crime it has been for years.
With Republicans, it will be the same old greed you saw before Obama.
This will take time.
Hang in there.
Remember what this country was like after George Bush, Sr. left office.
Reminds me of now.
It took a Democrat to fix it all and it took time.
Under Bill Clinton, we had economic BOOM.
Yes, the Republicans were in control of Congress during most of Clinton’s years, but they made things hard for him and did not go along with what it took to get America back on track.
So the credit for that goes to President Clinton and the Democrats.
Don’t let the Republican Party get in the way again.

Interesting rant Mr. Hill – I can’t almost picture the flecks of spittle on anyone standing close to you when you delivered it. Now that’s ACTING.

Too bad it had f*ck all to do with anything in the original posting.

And too bad you spammed it here from another site.

Bu-bye, Mr. NH.
