Who does Barack Obama think he is foolin by claiming no lobbyist money?

Last August The Boston Globe, in a piece by Scott Helman, took a hard look at Obama’s contributions, noting that “behind Obama’s campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth.” That truth revealed that as a state legislator in illinois, a U.S. senator, and as a presidential aspirant, Obama had collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs. Helman quoted an Obama campaign spokeswoman saying that after he experienced firsthand the influence of Washington lobbyists, he was taking a different approach to fundraising than he had in the past, and that “his leadership position on this issue is an evolving process.” If Obama’s leadership on campaign financing is indeed evolving, more news outlets should be following the evolution.

He’s not really fooling anyone, he’s simply relying on the liberal media (his ally) to give him the free passes that they are. Thus the media is failing in their responsibility to keep people informed, regardless of who the truth hurts.

    Hmmm… Didn’t he say he was going to be a different kind of politician and he was going to clean up the White House? Hmmm… Where’s the change he’s been talking about?

    Obama supporters (aka as Obamazoids) will believe anything the man says, so he can basically say whatever he wants.

    Obamazoids will only smell the coffee when McCain wins the election in November.

    DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE OBAMA HYPE!!!

    He is brainwashing people, kind of like his new BFF Oprah. He is telling people what they want to hear, that is all. I still can’t beleive people are falling for his blatant lies though…
