Obama Says He Relies on Small Donors: Facts Say Otherwise
The Husaria: For Our Freedom and Yours ^ | 06/06/08 | Winged Hussar 1683

Posted on 06/06/2008 3:48:36 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

We received the following unsolicited E-mail from Obama campaign manager David Plouffe. To begin with, it is excellent news that John McCain raised so much money in only one month, because it shows that Americans will put up their hard-earned money to stop a phony smile in an empty suit, a fraud and a front for the Chicago Daley machine, and a George Soros stooge from getting anywhere near the White House. More importantly, though, the Obama campaign is now firmly on record as telling its prospective donors a blatant untruth: that Obama does not take money from big donors, and that he relies on “little people” from the grassroots. We encourage our readers to circulate this information as widely as possible.

...Sure, Barry and Plouffie, “1.5 million people giving only what they can afford.” Little, ordinary people with names like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Microsoft Corporation, Exelon, Time Warner… Maybe Obama and Plouffe really believe they are talking to “bitter” small town crackers who “cling to guns and religion.”

Perhaps David Plouffe thinks that more than half a million dollars in bundled contributions from Goldman Sachs constitutes [ordinary] "people giving only what they can afford."

Includes a screen shot of the Obama campaign's fundraising letter plus a screen shot of big bundled contributions to Obama, as reported at OpenSecrets.org. See http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638 for details. Note that these are NOT corporate contributions, but bundled contributions from individual donors.

Key talking point; the Obama campaign is giving less than truthful information to prospective donors.

Obama is nothing more than a puppet with strings being pulled by Soros, Daley, and possibly a few other unnamed fat cats.

If he is elected president it will stay that way until he is voted out of office in 2012, or impeached and convicted before that.

I believe that Obomba DOES INDEED rely on millions of small doners. This is because Soros and company have laser printers printing reams of fanfolded checks, going directly into envelope stuffing machines, for special delivery to Chinese dishwashers near YOU.

Does bundling obscure the individual donors? McCain should challenge Obama to stop using bundlers and stick to bunglers like John does.

All of the Arab world supports Obama, and I believe that they have found ways of donating to his campaign, so that we do not know where it came from. Obama’s funds do not come from the poor people of America, who need both food and gas, and heat.

Small donors = every time you fill your tank.

We need to get over this bigger better BS vehicle envy game. Small vehicles, with great mileage are not a bad thing.

It means less money for mad moe's murderous mob!

"Americans will put up their hard-earned money to stop a phony smile in an empty suit, a fraud and a front for the Chicago Daley machine, and a George Soros stooge from getting anywhere near the White House."

The Republicans are dumping Soros' other stooge, McCain, and getting another nominee? That would be good news, and we would even have a choice in November instead of an election between 2 hand-picked Soros' sockpuppets.

I wonder if his internet based fund raising is being packed with huge volumes of $100 contributions from Islamic sources outside the US.

Could somebody look into that?
