Barack Obama's Little Problem with the Truth

Barack Obama doesn't like lobbyists (unless they remain undiscovered on his advisory committees).

“I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists
that their days of setting the agenda in
Washington are over. I have done more than any
other candidate in this race to take on lobbyists
– and won. They have not funded my campaign,
they will not get a job in my White House,
and they will not drown out the voices of the
American people when I am president.”
-- Barack Obama, Speech in Des Moines, IA, November 10, 2007

This from The Sydney Morning Herald:

"Top Obama aide forced to step aside

John Broder and Leslie Wayne in Chicago
June 13, 2008

JAMES JOHNSON, the consummate Washington insider who Barack Obama tapped to head his vice-presidential search, has resigned abruptly to try to silence a growing furore over his business activities.

His departure deprives Senator Obama of decades of experience and access to Washington's power elite.

Mr Johnson has been a fixture in political and legal circles for three decades, and he led the vice-presidential search team for Senator John Kerry, the Democrats' presidential nominee in 2004.

His resignation came after days of intense scrutiny from the news media and attacks from Senator John McCain and Republican Party officials over mortgages Mr Johnson, a former chief executive of the home mortgage financier Fannie Mae, received on favourable terms from the Countrywide Financial Corporation, the mortgage company that was a central player in the subprime lending crisis."

Whoops! Hey, who knew? Hint: Obama knew and dismissed this conflict of interest.
Coming soon to a bus near you, "Throw Eric Holder Under the Bus."

From "The Toledo Blade:"

We may see this pattern repeated soon. The more problematic appointment to his vice presidential search committee may be Eric Holder, deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration. Mr. Holder was a key figure in the last-minute pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich, whose ex-wife, Denise, was a major contributor to Clinton campaigns and to the Clinton library fund.

Mr. Rich, who fled to Switzerland to avoid prosecution on 51 counts of tax fraud, was not eligible for a pardon under Justice Department guidelines. But Mr. Holder circumvented normal procedures and kept other Justice Department lawyers in the dark. A congressional committee described his conduct as "unconscionable."

Keep watching folks. The Obama express is slowly but surely destroying itself as the inevitable conflicts of interest, lies, and corruption inherent in his campaign begin to unravel and are revealed to the public.

Obama is as corrupt as any politician coming from Chicago can be. He's Daily's man and he learned his politics on the South Side of Chicago...what else could you expect?

Long Live Our American Republic!!!
