Big donors for Obama....... all SLEAZY? (Ron Paul, campaign, president, lobbyists)

[emilybh]

It seem Pres. Obama has had to return donations from his biggest private donors.

Maybe his re-election isn't such a shoe-in the way die-hard Obama fans think.

But didn't you know? According to the OP, monetary donations are only SLEAZY when given to President Obama's campaign

There is no big donor to polticians anywhere who is NOT sleazy. They give those huge checks expecting something in return. The OP wants to paint Obama as the first ever president with sketchy donors and his deluded right wing friends might believe it but its as old as politics itself.

No, more like pointing out that this self proclaimed most moral and untarnished man is just the same as everyone else.

Remember, he was against PACs' and any influence from lobbyists. This is where most of his donations come from, proving him again to be a liar.

Coulda sworn I saw some Ron Paul supporters saying (and I agree with them) that he cannot be blamed for the donations from Storm Front.

Well, at least the President's campaign organization has released the list of contributors ... unlike the sleezy GOP candidates.

Anybody can go to opensecrets.org and pretty much find out what they want to know. Though it may be a bit behind. The system is a real mess.

btw the term sleazy was aimed at the donors.

So you defend Obama's sleazy donors/bundlers committing criminal acts, is this correct?
