Obama Knows When He Can Give His Supporters the Finger

Give Barack Obama this: He knows when he can give his adoring fans the finger and get away with it.

Once Obama realized he could probably out-fundraise John McCain by a factor of three to one, he would have been insane to accept public financing of his campaign – and with it, the resulting $84 million spending limit. His small problem was that he had vowed back in February to do just that. He even said he would personally meet with McCain to draw up parameters that both campaigns would agree to stick to.

So, what would he say about his pledge now that it was clearly not in his own best interests to honor it?

Never mind! Also: The Republicans made me do it. Citing his need to defend himself against right-wing 527 groups the McCain campaign wishes existed, Obama claimed that his highly efficient system of collecting small donations online is pretty much the same thing as being publicly financed.

He knows that he can count on Soros for all the money he needs,

“He knows when he can give his adoring fans the finger and get away with it..”

Obambi’s mask drops again. It’s not his moonie fans who are surprised by his shameless opportunism, but rather the voters still looking him over. His spin on the “broken” system is transparent.

They just skip the government and send the money directly to Obama.

Chicago politics as usual?

He knows when he can give his adoring fans the finger and get away with it.

Why should his adoring fans expect any better treatment than Tawana Obama gets?

Excellent.... comments from me are unnecessary...

It's so obvious. Soon we'll be hearing stories of homeless people writing checks for 2g’s to the Obama Campaign. And the Feds won't have the onions to do anything about it.

I searched the following on Ancestry.com this past weekend:

BArack or Barry Obama or Dunham Honolulu Hawaii 1961 and came up with nothing.

I also searched Ann Dunham for marital records and came up with nothing.

In other words, there was no public record of any marriage of Barack Obama Sr and Stanley Ann Dunham or any birth record of Barack Obama II

Something is definitely going on here.

A lying sack of turds. No matter, the Obominites will not remember this, and will never see it for the hypocracy that is the obomination.
