you know full well that St. Barack would never do such a thing. Just because he raised $20+ million from the business partners and law partners of lobbyists, doesn't mean it came from people interested in the lobbyists. The guys just really like Barack, ok? sheesh. Just like Rezko, he (well, technically his wife) just really liked Michelle, that's why she sold him that mansion for $400k under market value. people just LIKE him.

Is Obama's $83M spent last year and $15M this month somehow better? |
