Obama to Clinton: Show Us The Money

Loading

Ok, like everyone else, I wake up, check a few sites (Flopping Aces first, right?!!!), see what’s been going on in the world, etc. This morning, I had an email from a friend who was feeling down, another from another friend who deserved congratulations. I saw news sites that made me mad, others that made me sad, and I saw one that made me laugh out loud. Yeah, I know, this happens to everyone every day, but I had to share this one that made me laugh.

ABC News (long time supporter of the Clintons) actually supported Senator Barack Obama by repeating perhaps the biggest slam of the campaign between the two. Senator Obama has lit a match and stands over a trail of blackpowder that leads to a proverbial cartoon powderkeg. He’s asked Senator Clinton to reveal where she gets her money.

Of course this is a big deal because we all know she dumped $5million dollars into her own campaign last week (gosh, I think I’ll just toss in $5 million of my own money to run for office too. What, ya mean everybody can’t just toss down $5mil?  Me neither!). Clearly she gets her money from her husband, but 7yrs ago, they were in debt up to their eyeballs with legal fees from the most expensive knob bob in history. Now, after both Clintons have written a few books (not something that makes everyone automatically wealthy btw!), after countless paid-speaking engagements from the President, and after some incredibly successful business deals with the same people who funded the 911 attacks, all of a sudden they’re a wealthy family? Yeah, right. Show us the money…and that’s a request from the most popular Democrat-not some right winger neocon conspiracy.

Look, there are three constants/weaknesses of the Clintons:

  1. They’re guaranteed to take both sides of a position and then claim any success as their own
  2. They’re both famous for straight-up, deliberate, in your face lying
  3. They both get money via means that may be legal, but are extremely questionable

C’mon Senator Clinton, show us the money. Where’d you just all of a sudden get $5mil to throw down? Is she the most financially successful author America’s ever known? Is she running on an ex-President’s funds? Is she making money over some land deal called Whitewater-oops, no sorry. That was years ago. Is she getting money off a ports deal with Dubai? Where does a potential President get her money?

This isn’t just a political question either. It’s one of national security and patriotic duty. America simply cannot afford a President who is influenced by missile guidance tech sales to communist China, or to Dubai, or far worse. Opponents of the Bush Admin have argued since 1998 that he was controlled by oil companies, but it isn’t until now that Democrats have dared ask, “who pays the Clintons?”

Now thats a low blow, no one whose a gentleman, asks a lady of the evening where she gets her money. Just goes to show how McCain Feingold gets money out of politics, funny how that works.

As a white man, how would I feel about Obama being President? Thinking about Obama being a Senator is a start, and finding out Illinois is not his home, which is part of the same argument that Obama is not truly an African American in the traditional sense. When America finally discovers this and the way Mainstream Media has pulled a person with what one might conclude is a great show man with the talent to move a crowd, yet is a very confused or even arrogant and immature person, but can inspire, motivate, and sell positive thinking better than Norman Vincent Peale.

When Obama started to get “Media Hyped” my senses told me that this was another Reagan media manufactured mover and shaker. I say that because my personal opinion of Reagan, being one who was hypnotized by Reagan’s charisma, voting for Reagan twice and now regretting it during that time reflects on what a stupid fool I was, totally duped by the media. As I reflect back on the politic and media in a time with Reagan and his fundamentals actually born the crazy political jammed up in cultural crisis America is in now. Which, for me was actually the conception to the realities of the Neo-Con era the evangelist, Karol Rove the architect and Bush and Company that are now flushed out to be America most disastrous turn of events in history. Likely not thought of that way among Republicans.

Now, with mixed blood Obama pressing the minority button for change and blacks with many whites are embracing Obama. I decided to find more about him rather than through media spin biased with all the trimmings of the elitist contour for what Americans need to know rather than Whats really out there. So, I came across Obama’s book the “Audacity of Hope”. In small letters on the front lower right cover Obama says “Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream”. Hey this sounds like some pretty good stuff.

Getting through the first ten pages blew my mind, and started to raise some questions on how could this man, Obama, say what is on his front cover and turn one hundred and eighty degrees to say he, Obama, offers no unifying theory of American government … in one of his passages, Obama, really floored me. Especially, that is Obama says, “That’s the topic of this book: how we might begin the process of changing our politics and our civic life. This isn’t to say that I know exactly how to do it. I don’t”. Sheesh, here, Obama and millions of the electorate are parading around with a guy who doesn’t know how to change but rants change you can believe in. That’s incredible. Obama also taught the Constitution for years but claims he offers no unifying theory for American government, here the Constitution being the most important experiment in the history of modern self government. Sheesh. America needs to take a closer look at this guy.

I bet part of the money trail leads to Kazakhstan and Nazarbayev (or the uranium miners that are involved with him). Between that and the favors for big coal miners (locking up the Escalante Monument coal deposit), I wonder how many other natural resource companies might have paid them for favors? But I’m sure their corruption is diversified, no sense getting all your graft from just one sector.

I’d like to know how much money George Soros has invested in Hussien O.

If you were paying more attention you would realize that Obama’s presidential campaign hasn’t been taking PAC money. His past is still plenty dirty (he relied heavily on PACs and lobbyists in his previous campaigns and has carried lots of water for them), but you won’t be able to score points on him on the basis of contributors to his current effort. Lots of individual contributors, small donors and all that…
