- How Obama used Earmarks in US Senate; how his wife''s salary went UP, UP!
One of Obama%u2019s Earmarks after he arrived in the US Senate went to Hospital That Employs MicHELLe Obama; an Earmark of 1 Million was requested for the construction of a new hospital pavilion at the University Of Chicago. Mrs. Obama%u2019s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office." HMMM! - Reply to this comment

- 2003 Emil Jones Jr. President of Illinois State Senate said, "I''m gonna make me a U.S. senator." Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills. "I don''t consider it bill jacking," Hendon told me. "But no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the 1-yard line and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book." To prove his commitment to government transparency, Obama released a comprehensive list of his earmark requests for fiscal year 2008. It comprised more than $300 million in pet projects for Illinois, including tens of millions for Emil Jones'' Senate district. As we have seen Obama was given a FREE ride and ONCE AGAIN he has taken credit for the hard work of others!

- Obama says he doesn%u2019t take money from lobbyist, PACs; when in fact they aided his RISE! In Obama''s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs! Obama''s US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics! Why is Obama lying to the American people? Even WORSE, why is the mainstream media not reporting the FACTS? Don%u2019t you think if they aided his RISE that they EXPECT something?

- "I''m Barack Obama and I don''t take money from oil companies or lobbyists and I won%u2019t let them block change anymore." no candidate can take money from Oil Companies; it has been against the law for over 100 years; but Obama has taken $213,884 from the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29th, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, this money is bundled by Oil Company Execs. Yea, Obama won%u2019t let them block change just like he didn%u2019t let Exelon water down a bill Obama was trying to get passed in Illinois, and now Exelon is one of Obama%u2019s contributors for this presidential campaign? HMMM!

- Obama blatantly lies to Ohio about NAFTA and secret meeting with Canada! A senior member of Obama%u2019s campaign called Canadian ambassador and warned him that NAFTA would become part of the debate in primaries and that Obama would take some heavy swings at the trade deal but not to worry, that it would only be campaign RHETORIC.

- Obama ties to Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia aka FARC In a Feb. 28 letter, FARC chieftain Raul Reyes cheerily reported to his inner circle that he met "two gringos" who assured him "the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support ''Plan Colombia'' nor will he sign the TLC (Free Trade Agreement)."

- Obama ties to Rashid Khalidi who is a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department. Obama and Bill Ayers both worked for the Woods Fund who was co-founded by Khalidi; an organization that funded Pro-Palestinian groups.
