Barack Obama denies taking PAC or lobbyist money. During his Illinois Senate races he relied almost exclusively on PAC money and during his run for the US Senate Obama's hand was out to any and every PAC, special interest and lobbyist offering cash. Now he's saying he doesn't take PAC money or lobbyist money...but he does! It's disquised as individual donations. Then there is his own PAC, HOPEFUND. Could Hopefund be a money laundering scheme? A thinly veiled attempt to coverup corporate and special interest donations. Disquised donations are passed out to candidates supporting Obama. Those candidates in turn make donations to Obama's campaign.
Donations for which favor is expected if Obama is elected!
