New Nuclear Plant Exelon Facts

New Nuclear Plant Exelon Resource

New Nuclear Plant Exelon Resource in Q&A

Obama's Largest Corporate Sponsor is Exelon, a Very Large Nuclear Company. Will he Tell Envinromentalists ... ... that they should go home and let us build a lot more nuclear power plants to help solve our energy needs? The CEO of Exelon (main energy supplier to Philly area) said, "Senator Obama has all the necessary leadership skills required to be president,." Of course, Elexon is the electric supplier to Chicago in Obama's home state.

andy g replied: "That is lobbying at it's best Too bad the libs think only the right does this. It is proof of the hypocrisy of the left"

The Exelon and Obama Issue...How can he say he is for change? He's a typical politician, just a lot of talk.? I'm still undecided. I'm researching and researching to decide who I will vote for. I recently stumbled upon an article about Barrack Obama and the Exelon Nuclear Power plant. This guy didn't work for the people, and then he rewrote his legislation after "consulting" with Exelon. Then he went on to say that the legislation passed when it did not (blatant lie). The top CEO's at Exelon are also top fundraiser and campaign donors. How can this guy say he's for change? He's just a typical low-life slime politician. Can anyone give me some more in depth information regarding Exelon and Barrack Obama?????? I didn't ask for a lecture, and I didn't ask for the same old tired Obama supporter rhetoric or "check out McBush, etc." I'm asking you all, as Obama supporters...what you have to say about stuff like the article above? Did you even know about this? Is he truly for change if he wouldn't even watch out for the humble folks being poisoned by nuclear leakage into their drinking water? I'm asking you if you have researched his PAST, and are basing your voting on simply what he tells you he will do. I can tell you that I own a mansion in Europe I will sell you for 100 bucks, but that doesn't mean it's true. You should judge a person on their actions, not their words. Did you Obama supporters know how he sucked up to the large corporation and dissed the normal folks in this town?

Mummbles replied: "you already made your decision with only one fact from one source that your not sure about. try looking into mcbush and his need to follow bush voting record. really we are plummeting into a recession and bush did a horrible job that i'm not sure this country will be able to recover from. if you really want to vote for the same old thing than you do so, but there will be no america after mcbush come into office. there will probably be WW3 if palin gets her way. there are a lot of inconsistencies of information on both sides."

Cleopatra was Greek replied: "How can he say that he's for "change" if he can't even change that same old tired line that he keeps repeating like an opera broken vinyl record. What other words can he say besides that one?"

Did anyone hear about this? Russell Simmons calls Barack Obama a mouse? "Simmons: "I think about one-fourth of his campaign contributions came from small donations made over the Internet, even though he collected more than any other Democratic candidate from Wall Street people. So at the end of the day, he's controlled, too. That's my point. He's a mouse, too, like everybody else." It continues to say "Simmons is more right than he may care to know about Obama. Let's start with his second point - "progressive" Obama's mousy reliance on corporate political cash. "Obama's reliance on deep-pockets supporters is certainly part of why he opposed an amendment to the Bankruptcy Act that would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent." “The junior Senator from Illinois denounces the corrosive influence of private political cash on U.S. democracy while cozying up to Chicago's notoriously corrupt Big Money Mayor Richard M. Daley (with whom he shares the same high-priced campaign consultant (David Axlerod) and raking in campaign largesse from wealthy world-capitalist interests. His top career sponsors include Goldman Sachs, Exelon (the world's leading nuclear plant operator), the Soros Fund Management, J.P Morgan Chase & Co., leading corporate law and lobbying firms (Kirkland & Ellis and Skadden,” you can read it fully here your thoughts... and no I am not a fan of Russell Simmons but I think he made some valid points He doesn't support him and says he's a fake!!

wolf replied: "Yes. Molhammed Osama Barack Hussein Barack Obama could become our First Muslim President. (And a good strong Communist, to boot.) Cool!!!!!!"

FRAGINAL-NOYPI replied: "Barack Obama might have a problem with campaign funds unlike Hillary Obama who was perceived to have exceeded receiving from the fundraisers of Bill Clinton. Anyway, Obama might still win because the votes count and not the money. VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win."

The Wiz replied: "who's russel simmons? I only know Richard."

Dee B replied: "Who is Russell Simmons????? Not that I care about Ubama, whose IQ meanders around room temperature, but I have never heard of this Simmons guy."

Steven C replied: "Barack Obama is trying to please too many people rather than attack Hillary Clinton on many issues. His strategy is not working, but everyone loves him. Politics is dirty, you got to mix it up if you want to be successful."

Rubber Cranium replied: "Simmons is a self-made success and as such is well worth listening to. Good to see someone of influence is looking at it objectively and not just "voting black" for it's own sake. I was tempted for a while, but realized Obama doesn't have the experience or substance yet. (Not to say I want him to be more conniving, shrill and bitter like his primary competitors) There are few politicians who AREN'T in the pocket of the corporations and I don't think Obama is any different just because of his skin color."

Just my opinion replied: "Obama is no worst than the rest. They are all the same. They all take money from big business and pay them back when they get in office by letting them rip the little people off."

lostlyrics replied: "not that Obama is my 1st or 2nd choice, but to inform also sycophants of the Mariana Trench, from which to undive to the spheres of journalism FoxTV doesn't precisely encourage, here a little update less about cliches, but more about reality. Some of them even think, Martin Luther King was a royalist."

justanotherjoe replied: "Well.... I said he needed to learn the errors of his ways and correct them accordingly. Now you know exactly what i was referring to when i kept saying it. He needs to stand on his own two feet so to speak. If he separates himself from that garbage, he in fact would make an excellent president. But i don't see it happening this time around. I do like the guy. And he also needs to separate himself from the CFR as well. His communication abilities are astounding. But he must first clean up his campaign all together. That to me tells me that the interests behind his money will take control of him.(That is if they haven't already). And nuclear power is not an alternative either."

ancientcityentertainment replied: "I feel badly for the respondents who don't know who russel simmons is. they ,perhaps, should ask David Letterman. Nyuk nyuk!!!! Politics is all about money and we must either accept this fact or get out of the loop of fools who really beieve their vote means anything at all. I personally can say I'd take money from the Devil if he'd offer some. Money's money no matter the source. It could be that what one does with it is the real question. The sad truth is that these candidates waste all of these donations to get to a position of power instead of giving it to the homelesas or needy. Why wouldany want to be president unless they are crazy or greedy for power or both? DENNIS KUSCINETCH (SP.) and Ron paul are the only ticket that would get me out to vote and you should consider this and check it out. Russel simmons should either through his hat in the fray with Andy Dick as V.p. at his side (or should I say rear) if he wants to be politcal. He's actually a pretty cool nut because of the amount of fat ladies he's saved from the blubber factory if for no other reason. Our political system just never did nor ever will prove to be right. It's sad that we heap ALL the blame o n NUMBNUTS Bush and divert attention from the idiots in congress. I apoligize. It's just that you got me started. My name ids Frank Davenport and I'm throughing my hat into the ring as of this moment. Vote for me if you really want change."

TRILLIONAIRE replied: "hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha he is"

Obama2009 replied: "I didnt hear about that. Russell Simmons dont need to call anybody nothing the way is wife or ex wife has capitalized off of him!"

Why do Obama supporters dismiss these facts? Here's a few and please don't reply with -- oh, this is old. It's not old, it's the truth. 1. Obama has faced questions about his relationship with Chicago businessman Antoin “Tony” Rezko, who raised money for past Obama political campaigns and played a role in the purchase of the Illinois senator’s home. 2. Executives and employees of Exelon Corp., a Chicago-based energy giant and nuclear plant operator, have contributed more than $200,000 to Obama’s campaigns since 2004. This month, The New York Times examined whether Obama, at the behest of Exelon lobbyists, had watered down legislation aimed at tightening regulations on the nuclear industry. 3. Obama's house deal which the Slum Lord Rezko helped Obama buy. 4. Some of his foreign contributions, which include money from George Soros, the Hungarian financier who wants to control the US government from outside the country. Why doesn't any of this matter to you? By - these facts are common knowledge, all over the press, Obama has tried to spin a few of these or deny them, just like he tried to say he never heard reverend Wright's racist point of view after 20 years. Get a clue! David - don't forget that Obama is NOT opposed to these high gas prices, he just wished they happened more gradually. You don't even know the words of your own candidate. Obamabots, keep drinking the Kool Aid!

bikashroy9 replied: "It's the earnest job of all Obama supporters to hide , ignore or dismiss all facts which go against him. They are same as Obama so far telling lies and changing the stand later on as and when it suits them."

curious21 replied: "KNC, does this matter to you?"

alienofwar replied: "Hey...depends on your source of information. If News Max is your source...then I can hardly believe what you say....please educate yourself by reading books and reading news articles that aren't written with a bias such as News Max. The reality is Obama has some close encounters with controversial figures, but who hasn't when you are as big a figure as he was??? When your a politician, you can't keep any eye on all these people who surround you!! Besides, what difference is there between the crooks in Chicago and the crooks in the Bush administration...oh yea, their Bush's buddies!! You will ignore that of course...because like I said...your biased."

Simian Menace replied: "It does and the fact that I won't vote for "Bush Lite" aka McCain... I will be voting for Nader... It is not a "throw away vote" because I will not feel dirty after I cast it. Good Luck"

imragunotprego replied: "Obviously they arent concerned with facts they are more concerned with bashing Bush and trying to find faults in McCain. Welcome to the ignorant Democratic party!"

David H replied: "1. Big deal. No evidence that Obama was involved in criminal activity. Rich people support American politicians. Welcome to a capitalist nation. 2. "The New York Times examined whether Obama, at the behest of Exelon lobbyists, had watered down legislation aimed at tightening regulations on the nuclear industry." What did the New York Times find??? 3. See #1. 4. More Soros paranoia. Reminds me of 2004. Glad we put Bush in for another 4 years. He really turned things around. Gas doubled again, we are spending more than we ever did on Iraq and our economy is floundering. Maybe Soros should lend us some money. We could hand it out as a nice stimulus package.."

hikeflightmighty replied: "Really? You're going after Obama on his "relationship" with fundraisers and lobbyists? I like McCain, but this isn't a card he wants to play. And look at your points - "Obama has faced questions...", "The New York Times examined whether..". If you disagree with Obama's politics, fine. Just stop the character attacks."

DF replied: "Is this all you got. Old man McCain wishes his list was as short. Vote Obama 08*"

Sunshine replied: "Because McCain is a much worse option. He's too rich to give a hoot about the poor and working class he's too conservative about gay rights and women's rights he supports a failure of a war he admitted to knowing little about the economy which needs desperate help he is a supporter of help for big businesses and not the little guy he is against universal health care, which we desperately need he is too religious and old to be in touch with the middle aged and younger groups of society, he can't even use a computer he said"

zeroartmac replied: "True plus in his 1996 bid for the Senate he used dirty tactics to have everyone elses name removed from the ballot so that he ran unopposed. Here is an article about that,.. Also he flipped off Hilliary in the middle of a debate and grinned a big satisfied grin. Giving him the Presidency would be like leaving the fox in charge of the hen house."

TheEarthBoundEnigma replied: "Half of them cannot see past his skin. (Don't care what he says, they'll vote for him just because he's black!) The other half are too stubborn of a democrat to vote out of their party, so they swallow the bullet and vote for him anyway. (See "Post-Hillary" Obama supporters) 1st blak prezz? Omgee i wannan be a part o histery 2!!1!!1 lulz! Lets vot 4 teh guy named Iraq Hussein O'Bomb-a! (Obama's youth vote, lol)"

dude replied: "1. "faced questions? so what? 2. the NYtimes examined his voting. That's all you have? they examined it? wow, so what? what did they find out?!?!"

Big E replied: ",We the People are totally screwed with either of them. Myself as a 42 yr old white male would like to Obama win. I couldn't wait until January when he puts his hands on the Koren and swears to Allah for his OATH of office. History will be made that day. Think about this, he is Muslim like the terrorist (not that all Muslims are terrorist but it seems that all terrorist are Muslim". In the Koran you are a bad Muslim if you speak out against the terror the cowards commit. So how in the h**l is he going to stop the war unless he is saw as a supporter of the Jihad's? If he speaks bad about them if they could get there hands on Obama they would mutilate him beyond being able to identify him, drag him around the streets and hang for public display. Here is my question. How do we get around that fact?"

schwartzenheimer2 replied: "wha? i could have sworn that obama was infallibe, judging by how the media has treated him. before you ask this, you must remember: obama can do no wrong. if you say he can, then you must be against "hope" somehow. you arent against hope, are you?"

Obama takes $ from the same corps Bush/Clinton take from. How is this change? Maybe I'm getting old, or have watched too many silver-tongued politicians promise heaven on Earth only to shatter our hopes, but count me a doubter of the Obama revolution. Anyone who delves past his soaring speeches and mesmerizing gaze and follows the money trail will find plenty to question. The Democratic candidate of "change," for example, has raised nearly $100 million in campaign contributions, nearly as much as the Hillary Clinton money machine. Three of his four largest group of bankrollers are executives of Wall Street giants Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and JPMorgan Chase. What kind of change is that? Among his other top contributors are executives of Exelon Corp., the largest nuclear power operator in the nation. In 2005, Obama talked in a Senate hearing of leaving "on the table" the building of new nuclear power plants - the kind of change that has Exelon ecstatic.

AP replied: "why don't you go ask president bush, hilary clinton or Barack Obama to see how much truth is behind this. and i dont think what you are saying is true unless someone comes out and says it. so i think he's going to make a change by getting our troops out of iraq and lowering these taxes, making health care easier to get, fix this mess with gas prices and all the other things the working class demands. either way, hilary or obama is going to do the job right. AS LONG AS BUSH IS OUT OF OFFICE I THINK WE WILL BE AT PEACE!!"

wiseornotyoudecide replied: "No matter what politician you look at they get money from all these corporations for a variety of reason I will give you a few. 1.So no one suspect which politician they got on their pocket. 2.So whom ever gets elected returns them the favor weather they want to or not. 3.Why do you think all these political races require so much money? So no person can be elected without owing someone favors."

Mk II replied: "Obama never tells us any details about his "change". The reason is, what he's really talking about is changing his underwear and his razor daily. And he's also going to rob the rich and hand out free change for us to be able to use copy machines, pay phones, and washing machines!! Obama '08!!!!"

J C replied: "Yeah your probably getting old just like the rest of us. And yes many a silver tongued politician has promised us the world without ever making their promises good. That being said. Does it really matter if Obama dips into the same pockets as Hillary? Does it matter who wins the Presidency? As average citizens it is our duty to pay our taxes (extortion money), turn a blind eye to failings of governmental officials, and generally not make waves."

Fatdude427 replied: "There are at least two sides to every story. It is difficult to ascertain the truth anymore. I don't support Obama, either. Yeah, he has charisma. What else? Many people worship change as a Godsend. But change is only good when it is for the better. Ergo, it is a half truth that change is always a good thing. Sometimes, it isn't."

Stingray replied: "Our country as we speak is already in economical turmoil, and some of these large investors, as big business, can clearly see we are already in a recession, and will get worse unless the likes of g w bush are not allowed to continue. They have faith that Obama will restore economic balance and put a stop to the insane oil prices and skyrocketing consumer price index. I saw laundry detergent in Wal-Mart the other day, that a year ago sold for $3 dollars and some change, now going for $6 dollars plus. Hillary is a hard core politician and does not give a tinkers damn about the American people anymore than wild bill, of Monica Lewinsky, fame did, and John McCain reaks to strongly of gw bush to have a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected. If he is the best choice the Republicans have, then the Repubs, have no real choice at all. The American voters now have a chance to get even for g w bush and McCain is going to be beat in the November elections like a red headed step child and all thanks to g w bush, loser at large."

Spell Check !! replied: "A Politician is a politician they all lie. Republicans suck and Democrats blow."

now don't start that again replied: "It won't be change. We are headed to a one world government with the E.U., NAFTA (soon to be the North American union), the Asian Pacific union, and Africa's got to fit in their somewhere, acting as the three or four heads. The rich will get richer and the poor will become essentially slaves to this higher life form. Obama is just another cog in the wheel."

Mr Blobby replied: "Your mistake is to believe that the US political system is a democracy. It was deliberately and very effectively designed to present a veneer of democracy but deliver a plutocracy maintained by a system of institutionalised corruption. A person, or party, who wants to be elected must gain corporate ownership by 'contributions' to enable them to even take part in the electoral process. Having sold their policies they may then contend. The peasants' comprehension of what is happening is controlled by a jingoistic education system virtually from birth -oaths of allegiance etc, and an extremely effective self-censoring media information-gatekeeping and propaganda machine. Just in case the system fails, however, the Electoral College provides a fail-safe mechanism to prevent an unacceptable, to the plutes, election result. I feel there is very little doubt that the next administration will be Democrat so there may be a very slightly different emphasis, but, as usual, the Plutes' favourite party have taken a financial surplus and left a deficit and the Democrats, of course are 'owned' by similar people and subject to similar rules, so change, if any, will be very slight and slow"

canam replied: "What obama means by change is that is all you will have left in your pocket when he gets done fleecing america. And the obama cultists will be cheering him on and thanking him for it."

Does obama really care about the prople or just a win? When Exelon failed to disclose radioactive leaks at one of its nuclear plants, Obama tried to push through a bill in the Senate last year that required such plants to notify state and local authorities of such cases, the New York Times reported last week. According to the Times, the final proposal was a watered-down version of the original legislation that "played into the hands of the nuclear power industry." Obama has collected at least $222,000 from Exelon employees for his presidential campaign, making the company his eighth largest contributor last year. I wonder how many people will get cancer in the comming years from those leaks. oops supposed to be people

J.P Shields replied: "Obama cares very much about the people, that's why he always says "We can do this, we can do that" He never says "i". It hillary that is selfish and only wants a win. she will do or say anything to win... All this negative things you hear about Obama are lies or exaguarations to discredit Obama, but the more they open their mouth the more it back fires. Obama's support is growing like wild fire. He has captured our imagination, and he has inspired a nation. That is the kind of president we need. He is like the 2nd coming of JFK Irish Americans for Obama 08!"

JerseyGirlKelly replied: "He like all politicians cares only about power, greed and yes a "win". He was the one who preached not to take money from lobbyists and he does that and many other shady deals. People are pretty stupid to think one man will change this country.....takes more then a empty speech full of hot air. Hope he knows how to roll up his sleeves and work....the person who takes command best know finance, health insurance and most of all foreign affairs as we are surely in a pickle!!"

Vegas replied: "Sounds like you're asking about Hillary Clinton"

Moderates Unite! replied: "222k is nothing compared to the millions the Clintons have received from secret contributors. Anyway, you said it yourself, he tried to push through a tougher measure which didnt pass, what got passed was a watered down version. Not his fault and he was the only one trying to get anything passed at all. So Im not seeing the where he "doesnt care" about people."

osuchop1463 replied: "educate yourselves now people..... "

angryman replied: "I think you should be asking this question of Hillary. It is apparent that she will do absolutely anything at the expense of her own party to obtain the nomination. She is as fake as the day is long. You should get over this "I'm gonna vote for a woman, any woman, as long as it is a woman" mentality. Look past her gender and look at the scandals that have surrounded her(her not just the ones with her and Bill, because that excuse doesnt fly anymore). Look at her relationship with Norman Hsu. Why won't she release her taxes already? Look at the fact that she says Obamas healthcare plan will leave 15 million uncovered. What she won't acknowledge is the fact that her plan will FORCE everyone to pay for coverage whether you want it or not. If you can't afford it, it doesn't matter. You will have your paychecks and tax refunds garnished. Obama's plan will lower costs of health coverage and offer it to whoever wants it. If you don't want it, you won't be forced to obtain it. He won't take your money like she will. Wake up and look past the fact that she is a woman. Do your country a favor."

Timothy Monkeyballs replied: "Nobody cares. They're all in it for the power and prestige."

United_Peace replied: "Here's the fact to the story that has been checked out: Take a good study of how our National Debt is murdering America and its future. We are borrowing from foreign nations, with piling up interests by the minute. Please, freebird, the Clinton 2nd. term wasn't that great. Remember Silicon Valley Episode during which inflation occured? Followed by the bubble that left dreams falling... because the Clinton years contributed to the selling off America's creativity, patent rights to foreign nations ? A quick Clinton fix with no vision for the years ahead turned out to be BAD! I'm not young to see too far ahead into the future. But I fo have children and I care. At least they are well educated and can easily migrate with their career skills, but can you all? Yeah, sure, vote McCain to allow America to be chocked to its last breath... and ironically by Arabs! Yeah, believe Hillary's lies: This is the real voting record of Obama... on behalf of the American People. It has been fact checked: WHO YOU VOTE IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR OWN FUTURE, SO MAKE A WISE CHOICE!"

psiexploration replied: "Any intelligent person knew that Obama lies the second he said he wasn't running because of personal ambition. Nobody runs for the President of the U.S. (a job paying 250,000 a year) by spending millions of dollars that doesn't have personal ambition as the motive. What I admire about Hillary is that she is open about her ambition and doesn't lie about just taking the job to help the people. FYI: I had seen that report before but how dare you mention it you must be a racist to question the almighty O. Psi"

Vince replied: "I can guarantee that he is just after a win; he wants to make history just like Hillary. Honestly I do not believe that either one should be in office. I am a soldier in the U.S. Army and a particular subject that hits home to me that they like to push is their plans to pull out of Iraq. We need a stabilizing force over there and their plans to pull out would just cause trouble and force us to proceed back at a later time. I laughed when I herd Obama say that if the Taliban ever proceeded back into Iraq that he would send troops back over, there is only one problem with that as McCain pointed out that there ARE Taliban over there and Obama's response to that was there were no Taliban until McCain and Bush proceeded into Iraq which is laughable! Any person with an ounce of common sense would realize that he has no idea what he is talking about and has no place in this election. I may not enjoy deploying over there but we made a commitment as a nation to finish what we started, and I have talked to people from other nations that agree that it would be disgraceful to the U.S. if we left before the job is done, we cannot let people who plot against OUR country any refuge! We must continue our mission against terrorism on their front so we do not have to face it on ours that is why we have soldiers, those of us that serve should know that we joined to do this job so that the rest of the country does not have to we suffer and loose our own to protect OUR country and our way of life not to impose it on others but to help them protect themselves and better their lives the way they see fit. I honestly believe that if either democrat wants this office they should spend some time on the ground over there and talk to the local nationals to see and understand what we are doing over there, not to just look at some numbers and say that we do not need to be there. Over all I would have to conclude that Obama and Hillary are in this election for the wrong reasons and once in office will not do the right thing for the country but the right thing for the people who put them there."

Is Barack Obama a LIAR? I have a life, unlike the Obamanators I don't sit around waiting for the government to FIX it for me!

Did Springsteen really consider who he was endorsing? Three Mile Island is now owned by Exelon Corporation Obama is the largest beneficiary of money from companies that have a stake in Nuclear energy's future.. Excelon has given him 275,000.00. Obama supposedly passed legislation (watered down of course) removing language mandating prompt reporting and instead offered guidance to regulators who are required to report leaks themselves. The rewritten bill also contained the new wording sought by Exelon making it clear that state and local authorities would have no regulatory oversight of nuclear power plants. ... .. Springsteen performed with MUSE Musicians United for Safe Energy at No Nukes 1979 in response to the Three Mile Island leak John W. Rowe, also an Obama contributor, is chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute, which is -- get ready for it -- the nuclear power industry's lobbying group Mr. Axelrod himself was a direct consultant to Exelon.

she replied: "Springsteen is a dumb-ass, has been, lookin for a pat on the back. Who cares for his endorsement anyways. If I was a candidate I would be embaressed to have his endorsement."

If Obama would tell a lie to Iowans, don't you think he would lie to the rest of the United States? Obama introduced the Nuclear Release Notice Act of 2006, which would require plant owners to report all leaks to state and local authorities.. Obama has touted the bill, which never passed the Senate, on the campaign trail, and in December he told voters in Iowa it was "the only nuclear legislation that I've passed," the newspaper reported. Although it passed the environmental committee, the bill never made to the full Senate, and the senator reintroduced it last fall. Obama did not explain to the newspaper why he told Iowa voters that the bill had passed. Obama bowed to pressure from Senate Republicans, Exelon and nuclear regulators, and rewrote the bill to "reflect changes" they wanted. Exelon executives and employees have contributed $227,000 to Obama's campaign. >

skeptical_illusions replied: "Absolutely he would lie. Also, where is he getting his campaign money? It's coming from the Muslim's . And we all know that they hate Americans. He won't get my vote. I've struggled with this election, and I will be very uneasy if obama wins this thing."

Jair'Ro Brown replied: "Osama is Obama is Osama. Obama has been going to that church of his how long. Oh, yeah now he decides to stop going when he decided to run for president. Whatever, greedy azz Knee-grows who have been whooped so much into being greedy that they can no longer use common-sense because they've went to harvard there excusable. But for me, I can and I'm African-American never went to harvard but I can see a terrorist when I see one, why because I'm one in my own special way. But my views on love and equality is different from Obama's former preacher. Esp., if his past is factual, than it is what it is. Maybe that's why obama is banning certain speeches of his off of youtube."

Why does Obama lie about taking money from specail interest groups and lobbyists? Obama. He has completely snowed his supporters into believing that he is against special interest and accepting funding from lobbyists. One look at where all that money is coming from tells another story. Obama's presidential campaign has received nearly $5 million dollars from securities and investment firms and $866,000 from commercial banks through October of 2007. Obama's top contributor so far is Goldman Sachs (provider of $369,078 to Obama), identified by Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) investigators as "a major proponent of privatizing Social Security as well as legislation that would essentially deregulate the investment banking/securities industry." Eight of Obama's top twenty election investors are securities and investment firms: Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bros. (number 2 at $229,090), J.P. Morgan Chase and Co. (# 4 at $216,759), Citadel Investment Group (#7 at 4166,608), UBS AG ($146,150), UBS-America ($106,680), Morgan Stanley ($104,421), and Credit Suisse Group ($92,300). The last two firms are also known to be leading privatization advocates (Center for Responsive Politics 2007a). Meanwhile, Obama's presidential run has been "assisted" by more than $2 million from the health care sector and nearly $400,000 from the insurance industry through October of 2007 (Center for Responsive Politics 2007b). Obama received $708,000 from medical and insurance interests between 2001 and 2006 (Center for Responsive Politics 2007c). His wife Michelle, a fellow Harvard Law graduate, was until a recently a Vice President for Community and External Affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals, a position that paid her $273, 618 in 2006 (Sweet 2007). And Obama's sixth largest contributor is Exelon, the proud Chicago-based owner and operator of more nuclear power plants than any entity on earth (Center for Responsive Politics 2007a). Go figure. As for his "lobbyist ban," last August the Los Angeles Times reported that Obama "raised more than $1 million in the first three months of his presidential campaign from law firms and companies that have major lobbying operations in the nation's capital." Campaign finance expert Stephen Weissman observed that this raised troubling questions about the practical relevance of Obama's much-ballyhooed pledge to turn down donations from "federal lobbyists." "Obama's rise to national prominence and presidential viability, Helman discovered, depended significantly on PAC and lobbyist money." As Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain explained, "some of the most influential [lobbyist] players, lawyers and consultants among them, skirt disclosure requirements by merely advising clients and associates who do actual lobbying, and avoiding regular contact with policymakers. Obama's ban does not cover such individuals." Thus, to give one example, Obama received $33,000 in the first quarter of 2007 from the Atlanta-based law firm Alston & Bird, which maintains a large lobbying division in Washington. Obama's $33,000 came bundled from a number of "consultants" employed by the firm. Also deleted from Obama's "ban" are state lobbyists. Obama took $2000 from two Springfield, Illinois lobbyists for Exelon, which spent $500,000 to influence policy in Washington in 2006 and gave $160,000 directly to Obama (Morain 2007). An especially big dent in the armor of Obama's effort to sell himself as the noble repudiator of lobbyist, PAC, and special interest money generally was inflicted in early August of 2007. That's when the Boston Globe published a widely circulated article titled "PACs and Lobbyists Aided Obama's Rise: Data Contrast With His Theme." Globe reporter Scott Helman reviewed campaign finance records to find that a "more complicated truth" lurked "behind Obama's campaign rhetoric." Obama's rise to national prominence and presidential viability, Helman discovered, depended significantly on PAC and lobbyist money, including large sums from "defense contractors, law firms and the securities and insurance industries" to his own powerful PAC "Hopefund." Of special interest was Helman's determination that Obama was retaining close and lucrative funding relationships with leading Washington-based lobbyists and lobbying firms while technically avoiding direct contributions from those key campaign finance players. Sorry, I think I should have posted this in elections. It is a question of ethics as well I suppose.
