Please be careful about showing this one to anyone who got deeply invested in "hope and change version 2008".
Make sure that your "yes we can" friend takes an aspirin before hearing this:
"More than two years after Obama took office vowing to banish “special interests” from his administration, nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events, an investigation by iWatch News has found.
These “bundlers” raised at least $50,000 — and sometimes more than $500,000 — in campaign donations for Obama’s campaign. Many of those in the “Class of 2008” are now being asked to bundle contributions for Obama’s reelection, an effort that could cost $1 billion.
As a candidate, Obama spoke passionately about diminishing the clout of moneyed interests. Kicking off his presidential run on Feb. 10, 2007, he blasted “the cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests,” who had “turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.”
“We’re here today to take it back,” he said.
But just like other presidential aspirants, Obama relied heavily on megadonors to propel his campaign across the finish line, and many fundraisers have shared in the spoils of victory."(POLITICO)
There you go. "Hope and change" is just another politician!
Let's be fair. This is what every politician has done since we've had elections.
I am not shocked.
I am just amazed at the number of people who were foolish enough to believe the whole "hope and change" serenade.
BO was raised in Chicago. He was raised in the most corrupt one-party city in the US.
Is anyone surprised that a Chicago politician would hand out favors to the "fat cats" who donated to his campaign?
