Good lord. Keep reaching. Maybe you'll just grasp that straw by November 5.

Barack Obama seems determined to redefine the term "hypocrite" in 2008.

That's gonna be a tall order considering how that term has been redefined by all politicians lately.

Facepalm ? don't touch your face with clean hands after it's been firmly wedged between the cheeks of the republican party's ass for so long, subby. It's unsanitary.

By October, the right wing blogs will be portraying Obama as a crippled old man who relies to much on his captivity in Hanoi.

For shame you Fark Obamamaniacs. You haven't emptied your wallets enough to keep up with his campaign promises. Time for you to shakedown your wallets again. Isn't there someone here you gladly hand your money over to for his campaign? Get to it, and start forking that money over. You can boast afterwards about your "donations".

/Get used to it.

You're hilarious. $27 mil for John McCain, $51m for Barack Obama. But no one's donating money to Obama. None at all.

/$4 million shy of the all time record, set by...Barack Obama in February.
//nobody donates to McCain cause nobody actually likes him.

He's taking tons of money from US soldiers, compared to the amount McCain is taking. It's just despicable how he has become beholden to their interests.

You need to raise it to $50. What is Obama going to do with $25? Stop being so ghetto. Saving the nation costs money, if we're going to get everyone fed and make sure all have health insurance. Fork it up.

Don't really care. I'm sure Obama will have some different numbers for you to "donate" along with our companies. Stay tuned for the cost plan of exciting Hopey McChange. We are all greedy if we don't go along with it.

The screwed up thing is that the information about Obama's economic plan is out in plain sight. But hatred for Democrats is out of control -- it doesn't matter what Obama and his advisers say or do, they are the enemy.

However, Charlie Rose did an interview with

Austan Goolsbee
(new window)

It's a good look at the guy that is shaping Obama's economic plan -- a man respected by many economists left and right.

Like you care. Someone might tho.

Wasn't the only reason Obama was going to pledge not to take money was if McCain didn't do it either?

/McCain didn't do it

 
jake3988 2008-08-16 08:26:54 PM  
Yeah, Obama said he wouldn't and now he is.

Name me a politican who hasn't. There are some things which, unfortunately, will NEVER change no matter what. Getting money from lobbyists/coporations/unions is one of those things.

You don't understand though, it's okay for Obama to go back on his pledges when he sees it will benefit him. That is called "smart politicking, and forward thinking". Pledges were made to be broken. I'm sure the Obamamaniacs here can explain it better than I can.

You missed a lot in reading class, didn't ya? The point is you're not donating enough. Obama is now being forced to take money from lobbyists, becuase YOU didn't donate enough. Stop being greedy, and make sure you can donate enough to put Obama's money where his mouth is.
