Obama's Financial Lobbyists

October 9, 2007 / by thinline

Obama’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.  Nor does his disregard and disrespect for the American voters.  This from Reuters:

Obama, an Illinois Democrat and presidential candidate, derided the influence of lobbyists on Capitol Hill.

"If there was ever a doubt that Washington lobbyists don't actually represent real Americans, it's the fact that they stopped leaders of both parties from requiring elite investment firms to pay their fair share of taxes," he said in a statement.

Yes, he did actually say that.

THIS from Obama who sided with the Bush Administration and the financial industry voting NAY to cap credit card interest rates at a whooping 30%.

THIS from Obama who has taken in more $$$$$$$$$$$ from the financial industry than any other candidate except Giuliani.

From Goldman Sachs:

   Obama $331,828      Clinton: $136,350

From Lehman Brothers:

   Obama: $228,850     Clinton: $79,050

From JP Morgan Chase

   Obama: $186,680     Clinton: $77,650

Not that ThinLine is in any way suggesting that these two facts are in any way related, that the financial industry bought or influenced Obama to vote to promote their interests………but someone is going to ask.

ASK OBAMA TO KNOCK IT OFF
