Examining Obama's Finances

I really thought I was done with the political topics for awhile but there are just too many oddities in regards to Barack Obama and money that need to be seriously examined by the American people before they vote on November 4th. I don't know that I can tie all of these things together into one coherent article so I'll just list them and briefly discuss each one.

His Spending Plan - Obama has plans for nearly one trillion dollars in new spending if he gets elected. Where is this money coming from? Washington just rushed through a $700 billion bailout bill that had $150 billion in extra unrelated spending tacked onto it. We also just borrowed $500 billion from China. Obama wants to spend an extra trillion? That's just frightening.

Freddie Mac - Barack Obama blames the current administration for the current economic woes. That statement is completely flawed and ignores certain facts about the Carter administration and the Clinton administration. In just three short years in the senate Obama received the second most campaign financing from Freddie Mac compared to any other senator.

ACORN - Barack Obama worked closely with ACORN in the nineties and they in turn helped him to get elected to the senate. He served as one of their lawyers in a lawsuit against Citibank, in which ACORN was trying to force them to make housing loans to poor people who couldn't afford a home. Anyone still believe his lies about the housing issues being Bush's fault? Earlier this year Obama gave ACORN $800,000. ACORN is now under investigation in ten states for voter fraud.

Campaign Spending - Shortly after Sarah Palin's addition to the Republican ticket Obama boasted that his campaign spends more in a month than the entire yearly budget of the town Palin was mayor of. First his statement was completely dismissive of the fact that she has been a governor for the past couple years. Secondly, it again shows a complete lack of understanding of what fiscal responsibility is. America doesn't need a president that boasts about how much money they spend, we need a president who will cut spending.

His campaign spending raises another question as well: If he's spending $40 million a month on his campaign, where is all of that money coming from? Obama has spent the last several months trying to pit the poor people against the rich. He's been trying to play the part of Robin Hood promising to raise taxes for the rich and give it to the poor. Many poor people of course are out there saying "yeah, stick it to those stinkin' rich guys why should they have it all?" Let's just forget about the fact that many rich people are rich because they worked hard to beecome rich. So Obama is going for mass appeal here but there is still the question of where $40 million a month is coming from. It's certainly not coming from the poor people that he is trying to get to hate the rich people. They don't have that kind of money. Nope, the money is coming from rich people contributing to his campaign. So why are they giving so much money to him if he hates them so much(he is also quite wealthy of course). It's because they know that he is full of crap. He doesn't hate rich people, he loves them. He loves his elite friendships. Obama cares nothing for the poor people of this country, heck his half brother lives in a shack on $12 a year. This is a guy who says that he is his brothers keeper. He's simply trying buy the election and when it's all over if he does win those poor people won't be any better off for the rich people paying higher taxes.
