Obama's Campaign Finance Tricks

Obama has been fooling people with his phony claims that he does NOT take corporate and special interest money. Obama gets twice as much from "Big Oil" than McCain does. He met Soros in late 2006 and is in Soros billionaire pocket. He's put hedge fund operators on his economic team. He put DC insiders as his VP vetters. As the data shows, he's got more bundlers than anyone else. He even had 527s set up to get around contribution limits.



Obama's Campaign Funding, 2008
Total Raised: $264,492,301
Bundlers 358
Lobbyist Bundlers: 14

Obama is using the "527" campaign funding loophole. It is a legal funding loophole that is not counted in his official donations. Hillary and McCain reject the use of 527's but Obama welcomes the use of the loophole. McCain actually made a law that made the loophole illegal. Unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court said 527's should be legal. McCain's law is no longer valid. The only way to really close the loophole is with a constitutional amendment.

A real funny thing is Obama criticized Edwards about funding while Obama was using the 527 loophole. It just proves Obama is a complete hypocrite.
Obama's supporters get around money limit (August 2007).

He doesn't tell the public he is using a campaign fund loophole. he doesn't tell people he's got bundlers including lobbyist bundlers. He doesn't tell people he promised to get into public financing if his opponent would and now have broken his word.
