Big Bucks Barack
The Washington Post ^ | 06/20/08 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 06/20/2008 9:35:12 AM PDT by wm_tate

Barack Obama's decision yesterday to become the first presidential candidate of the modern era to opt out of public financing flies in the face of that tradition. It also happens to contradict his own past assurances. And it poses a real test for the media.... Are the media going to call Obama on the reversal?

"Are the media going to call Obama on the reversal?"

At least Kurtz is trying here. But is there any doubt about how the majority of the media will handle this?

No problem for Obama. Big Daddy Soros will take care of everything.

Is there a law against foreign campaign donations?

Obama is getting donations from overseas. Doesn ‘t he have to open his books?

Of course not.

The Obama TRUE BELIEVERS remind me of a snake handling cult.

Sort of like, "Obama said it, I believe it, and THAT settles it!"

Needless to say, they are all in for a little surprise when all the gifts that the foolish Democrats expected Obama to deliver do not materialize (1); and, when the confiscations of freedom and property eventually include them (2).

(1) This is what Obama really means by "sacrifice".

(2) This is what Obama really means by "change".

Maybe Obama can put Kurtz column up on this “Fight the Smear” website??? He can prevent people from further smearing the few people in the media who correctly point out that he is lying about his current excuses for not keeping his word.

Kee-rect.

As I'm fond of saying, liberals/socialists have no idea just how good THEY have it in our wonderful Country; and, they have no clue as to how miserable THEY will be if they ever establish their grand Utopian collective here.
