OBAMA COULD BE RELECTED AS BUSH'S FOURTH TERM WITH THE LOOT OF HIS CRIMINAL WALL ST BANKSTERS, THE VOTES OF ILLEGALS, AND THIS BLIND CLOWN:
“Well, I’m just going vote for Obama again.” When asked what specifically he liked about Obama, he said that Obama is ending Bush’s wars, stopping home foreclosures and trying to reverse the economic damage caused by Bush.
SEP election supporters campaign in several Michigan cities
By a reporting team
24 April 2012
Supporters of the Socialist Equality Party presidential campaign spoke to workers in Kalamazoo, Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, Michigan about the issues in the 2012 elections.
Kalamazoo, Michigan is the largest city in the Southwest portion of the state, with about 325,000 people in the metropolitan area. It was once alternately known as “The Paper City” and “The Celery City” for its major industrial and agricultural products. By the 1960s, many of the city’s paper mills were closed, leaving a legacy of empty factory buildings and water pollution.
Kalamazoo was also the home of the Upjohn Company, a pharmaceutical giant now owned by Pfizer, as well as the Checker Cab Company and Gibson Guitars, neither of which remain.
While campaigning outside the public library and a Meijer grocery store, SEP supporters engaged in conversation with a cross-section of Kalamazoo’s population including workers, students and professionals. While the responses to the SEP were varied, they indicate a deep frustration with the existing political apparatus.
One worker said he agreed that there was no real difference between the two big business parties. “I think it’s a shame how money drives everything in government, and that most decisions are geared toward helping what’s basically a tiny layer of people, a plutocracy. And Obama had such a good opportunity to do a lot of important things in 2008, and he’s ended up, basically, continuing all of Bush’s policies. He’s basically more right-wing than Bush.”
After listening to a SEP supporter explain the election campaign, another worker responded, “Well, I’m just going vote for Obama again.” When asked what specifically he liked about Obama, he said that Obama is ending Bush’s wars, stopping home foreclosures and trying to reverse the economic damage caused by Bush.
The SEP supporters reviewed Obama’s real record of expanding war and unyielding support for the banks. Nothing has been done to address the immense social crisis facing millions of people, and the vast majority of income growth has gone to the top one percent.
“The paper mills closed down and the union did nothing,” said another worker, a member of the United Steelworkers of America. He said he had heard about the isolation and betrayal of the Cooper Tire workers in Findlay, Ohio. “It is terrible what happened to them. The union works it all out with the companies. It's all set up and decided before they bring anything to us. They left those Cooper Tire workers out to dry just like the union did during the Hormel meatpackers strike twenty-five years ago.”
In 1986, United Food and Commercial Workers international leadership ordered an end to the eight-month strike at Hormel, put the local in Austin, Minnesota under trusteeship, took over the union hall and signed a contract with Hormel covering the scabs who crossed the picket line. Not a single striker was rehired.
“I believe there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans,” he added. “Things are getting more and more difficult for us. I have seen a lot over the years. I want to look into your campaign. We need an alternative.”
SEP campaigners are also regularly campaigning in both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, two cities just west of Detroit. Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan. While it has one of the highest median income rates in the state, the number of people living below the poverty line was determined at 19.9 percent in 2010. Ypsilanti, a former auto manufacturing hub and home to Eastern Michigan University, has approximately 24 percent of its population living below the poverty line.
Campaigners have found that the general mood is supportive, with many expressing a lack of confidence in Obama and the political system.
A retired teacher spoke about the need for an alternative to the two-party system, though he muted his criticisms of the Democratic Party by speaking primarily of the cuts to social spending favored by the Republicans and claiming that Obama had been “stupid to think that he could work with them.” He acknowledged, however, that the administration had been willing to make cuts to Medicaid and Social Security.
He repeatedly referred to the American public’s ignorance of socialism saying, “We have socialism in things like Social Security and yet people are told they should hate it.” During another part of the conversation, however, the teacher referred to the terrible history of McCarthyism. “If I had tried to tell my students that the capitalist system was the problem, I would have been fired,” he said.
One young autoworker expressed interest in the campaign but differed with the SEP’s position on the role of unions. Though not a union official herself, she expressed views close to the officials, most significantly on the question of the Democratic Party and Obama, for whom she planned to vote.
“It took a long time for conditions to get as bad as they are; it will take more than four years for them to get better,” she argued. She did not counter the SEP campaigner when he explained the actual content of the administration’s policies during these same four years.
All this while the
administration was cutting backroom deals with every manner of special interest
- from drug companies to auto unions to doctors - in which favors worth
billions were quietly and opaquely exchanged.

Krauthammer:
The decline of Obama
By Charles
Krauthammer
Posted: 09/04/2009
01:00:00 AM MDT
What happened to President Obama? His wax wings having melted, he is the man who fell to earth. What happened to bring his popularity down further than that of any new president in polling history save Gerald Ford (post-Nixon pardon)?
The
conventional wisdom is that Obama made a tactical mistake by farming out his
agenda to Congress and allowing himself to be pulled left by the doctrinaire
liberals of the Democratic congressional leadership.
ALL
THREE, OBAMA, REID AND PELOSI MAKE JUDICIAL WATCH’S 10 MOST CORRUPT EVERY YEAR!
But
the idea of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pulling Obama left is quite ridiculous.
Where do you think he came from, this friend of Chavista ex-terrorist William
Ayers, of PLO apologist Rashid Khalidi, of racialist inciter Jeremiah Wright?
But
forget the character witnesses. Just look at Obama's behavior as president,
beginning with his first address to Congress.
Unbidden,
unforced and unpushed by the congressional leadership, Obama gave his most
deeply felt vision of America, delivering the boldest social democratic
manifesto ever issued by a U.S. president. In American politics, you can't get
more left than that speech and still be on the playing field.
In
a center-right country, that was problem enough. Obama then compounded it by
vastly misreading his mandate. He assumed it was personal.
This,
after winning by a mere seven points in a year of true economic catastrophe, of
an extraordinarily unpopular Republican incumbent, and of a politically weak
and unsteady opponent.
Nonetheless,
Obama imagined that, as Fouad Ajami so brilliantly observed, he had won the
kind of banana-republic plebiscite that grants caudillo-like authority to
remake everything in one's own image.
Accordingly,
Obama unveiled his plans for a grand makeover of the American system, animating
that vision by enacting measure after measure that greatly enlarged state
power, government spending and national debt.
Not
surprisingly, these measures engendered powerful popular skepticism that burst
into tea-party town-hall resistance.
Obama's
reaction to that resistance made things worse. Obama fancies himself tribune of
the people, spokesman for the grass roots, harbinger of a new kind of politics
from below that would upset the established lobbyist special-interest order of
Washington.
Yet
faced with protests from a real grass-roots movement, his party and his
supporters called it a mob - misinformed, misled, irrational, angry, unhinged,
bordering on racist.
All this while the
administration was cutting backroom deals with every manner of special interest
- from drug companies to auto unions to doctors - in which favors worth
billions were quietly and opaquely exchanged.
"Get
out of the way" and "don't do a lot of talking," the great
bipartisan scolded opponents whom he blamed for creating the "mess"
from which he is merely trying to save us.
If
only they could see. So with boundless confidence in his own persuasiveness,
Obama undertook a summer campaign to enlighten the masses by addressing
substantive objections to his reforms.
Things
got worse still. With answers so slippery and implausible and, well, fishy, he
began jeopardizing the most fundamental asset of any new president - trust.
You
can't say that the system is totally broken and in need of radical
reconstruction, but nothing will change for you; that Medicare is bankrupting
the country, but $500 billion in cuts will have no effect on care; that you
will expand coverage while reducing deficits - and not inspire incredulity and
mistrust. When ordinary citizens understand they are being played for fools,
they bristle.
After
a disastrous summer - mistaking his mandate, believing his press, centralizing
power, governing left, disdaining citizens for (of all things) organizing -
Obama is in trouble.
Let's
be clear: This is a fall, not a collapse. He's not been repudiated or even
defeated. He will likely regroup and pass some version of health insurance
reform that will restore some of his clout and popularity.
But
what has occurred - irreversibly - is this: He's become ordinary. The spell is
broken. The charismatic conjurer of 2008 has shed his magic. He's regressed to
the mean, tellingly expressed in poll numbers hovering at 50 percent.
For
a man who only recently bred a cult, ordinariness is a great burden, and for
his acolytes, a crushing disappointment. Obama has become a politician like
others.
And
like other flailing presidents, he will try to salvage a cherished reform - and
his own standing - with yet another prime-time speech.
But
for the first time since election night in Grant Park, he will appear in the
most unfamiliar of guises - mere mortal, a treacherous transformation to which
a man of Obama's supreme self-regard may never adapt.

Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats,
Crooks, and Cronies
by Michelle Malkin
Editorial Reviews
In her shocking new book, Malkin digs deep into the records
of President Obama's staff, revealing corrupt dealings, questionable pasts, and
abuses of power throughout his administration.
From the Inside Flap
The era of hope and change is dead....and it only took six
months in office to kill it.
Never has an administration taken office with more inflated
expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American
Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative
tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a
powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption
that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty
crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of
Corruption, Malkin reveals:
* Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and
Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites--bashing
the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their
relatives have benefited mightily
* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's
cabinet--including Hillary Clinton--are trying to hide
* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry,
unaccountable "czars" than any other administration
* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments
became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be
appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons
* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered
millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand
their power
* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists
are ruining the economy and helping their friends In Culture of Corruption,
Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the
liberal media would rather keep hidden.

“Obama used the event to reassert his pro-business credentials, all but groveling before an organization whose CEOs head firms that control half of all US corporate profits.”
On eve of health care summit
Obama courts US corporate elite
By Tom Eley
25 February 2010
25 February 2010
In in a bid for corporate support on the eve of his televised health care summit with Republicans, President Obama on Wednesday told top CEOs gathered at the Business Roundtable that his health care reform would improve the competitiveness of their firms.
Obama used the event to reassert his pro-business credentials, all but grovelling before an organization whose CEOs head firms that control half of all US corporate profits.
“Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market,” Obama assured his audience. “I believe businesses like yours are the engines of economic growth in this country. You create the jobs. ... I firmly believe that America’s success in large part depends on your success.”
Far from creating jobs, US corporations have shed them by the millions since 2007, while the past year has made abundantly clear that the success of major corporations has nothing to do with the well-being of the American people. The former have enjoyed enormous profits as a result of trillions of dollars in federal money pumped into the finance markets, while the population as a whole continues to suffer through the worst social crisis since the Great Depression.
REASONABLE REWARDS?
Obama reiterated his mantra that “most Americans—including myself—don’t begrudge reasonable rewards for a job well done.” In fact, Americans not only “begrudge”executives’ salaries that are hundreds of times greater than those of workers, they wonder why the CEOs, whose predatory financial schemes triggered the economic collapse, have not been arrested and prosecuted.
The president stressed that any government intervention into the market would be temporary, thereby reassuring the CEOs that the worst economic crisis since the 1930s would result in no reforms of the financial system. The highest elected official, supposedly the democratic representative of the people, felt obliged to justify the role of government before his audience of multi-millionaires and billionaires, declaring that it served a “limited” and subordinate, but necessary, function in enabling the financial elite to increase its wealth and profits.
“Government hasn’t stepped in to supplant private enterprise,” he declared, “but to catalyze it, to create the conditions for entrepreneurs and new businesses to adapt and to thrive.”His pro-business bona fides established, Obama moved to his primary aim—to win support among the corporate elite for his health care legislation, which has been stalled by Republican political maneuvering. Republicans fully support the central purpose of Obama’ ;s “reform” agenda, which is to slash Medicare spending and drive down health care costs through the limitation of medical services to tens of millions. But they sense a political opportunity to capitalize on widespread and justified fears over the reform’s reactionary character.
Obama called health care an “undeniable drag on our economy,” while hailing “the willingness of the Business Roundtable to work with us” in addressing the issue. “Still, I know there are many who have been skeptical of our reform efforts,” he said. “[I]t’s been an easy political tactic to characterize any effort at health reform as a ‘big government takeover.’”
“The truth is just the opposite,” Obama continued, adding that the plan would deliver “more customers” to insurers, and pointing out that the legislation had“incorporated almost every serious idea from across the political spectrum about how to contain the rising cost of health care,” resulting in a proposal that “would reduce the deficit by as much as $1 trillion over the next two decades.”
“One of the benefits of health care reform is that by bringing down the cost of Medicare and Medicaid, it would significantly reduce our deficit,” Obama added.“I know this an issue of great concern to many of you. Believe me—it’s been on my mind too.”
The 30 minute speech offered other revealing moments, among them a rather frank admission that the Wall Street bailout now necessitated attacks on social programs.
“The steps we took to save the economy from depression last year have necessarily added to the deficit,” Obama said. “But I’ve also said that we intend to pay for what we added. My administration is doing what families and businesses all across the country are doing during these difficult times: we’re tightening our belts and making tough decisions. We’re investing only in what we need and sacrificing what we can do without.”
He boasted that the administration has “identified more than 120 programs for elimination—a total of $20 billion in savings for next year,” and has imposed“a freeze on non-security, discretionary government spending for three years.”
Obama repeated his goal, first announced in his State of the Union address, to double US exports in five years, a plan that presages trade war and the restructuring of US manufacturing on the basis of near-poverty wages.
Obama told the CEOs that the US cannot go back “to the pre-crisis status quo,” which he described as “an economy too dependent on a housing bubble, consumer debt, financial speculation, and growing deficits.”
“We will pursue a more strategic and aggressive effort to open up new markets for our goods,” he said. The US economy must “send more products overseas” and“borrow less and produce more.”
(OBAMA, ALWAYS A BACK SLIDER WHEN IT COMES TO THE SPECIAL INTERESTS. THEY NOW CAN KEEP THEIR CORPORATE PROFITS ABROAD TO AVOID TAXES!)
At the same time that he promised a vigorous expansion of exports, Obama partially reversed another of his campaign pledges—to eliminate loopholes that allow US corporations that make money abroad to avoid paying taxes. “Mr. Obama said he modified his proposal, originally designed to raise as much as $210 billion, after listening to complaints from businesses, which say the deferral rule lets them better compete against overseas competition,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
Obama also pointed to his proposal to create a two-tier system of public education in the US, which has won widespread Republican support. By pitting states and school districts in competition for limited funding, the plan aims to tear up teachers’ work rules and promote charter schools. “Race to the Top,” as the administration dubs its plan, “is one of those rare issues where both Democrats and Republicans are enthusiastic,” Obama said.
The Business Roundtable is among the most influential of US business organizations.“The group’s support is seen as crucial to Obama’s agenda as he faces a rough road heading toward November’s midterm elections,” the New York Timeswrote. “Obama has wooed the Roundtable’s leaders since the start of his presidency.”The Wall Street Journal noted that “administration officials say they have been inviting chief executives to the White House for months, and prefer meeting company leaders to their lobbyists.”
(BANKSTER J. P MORGAN AT THE WHITE HOUSE. ONE OF THE BANKSTER PRESIDENT’S BIGGEST DONORS, AND BIGGEST BENEFICIARIES OF OBAMA’S SELLOUT TO BIG BANKSTER DONORS!)
Obama’s wooing of the nation’s top CEOs included a private White House dinner on Tuesday evening attended by 17 leading executives, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
Obama well understands the decisive power asserted by the financial elite over the political life of the nation. His career was taken in hand early on by powerful financial interests in Chicago, and in the 2008 elections the finance sector gave him far more in campaign contributions than any other candidate.
THE REASON WHY OBAMA BROUGHT IN BUSH’S ARCHITECT FOR BANKSTER WELFARE, TIM GEITHNER, WAS TO ASSURE HIS BIG BANKSTER DONORS THAT THEIR LOOTING WOULD CONTINUE, THERE WOULD BE NO REGULATION TO INTERFERE AND THEIR INVESTMENT IN OBAMA WOULD BE REPAID WITH MASSIVE BAILOUTS, NO INTERESTS LOANS, AND NO PRISON TIME FOR BANKSTERS!
IT’S WORKED JUST FINE! ALL OF OBAMA’S BANKSTER DONORS HAVE PILLAGED THIS NATION EVEN MORE UNDER OBAMA THAN BUSH!

JUDICIAL WATCH’S TEN MOST
CORRUPT............................................ 2007
Unfortunately the corruption of these politicians noted is
only a drop in the bucket of what they’re guilty of.
One common ground for all of them is they will all protect
and cover each other’s crimes.
1. SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON D-NY): In addition to her long
and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 –
and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records.
Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to
her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007,
Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing
false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillary’s
top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive
from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilty to one count of grand theft for
defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.

CLINTON IS A MAJOR LA RAZA SUPPORTER AND ADVANCED BUSH’S BIT
BY BIT AMNESTY ALONG WITH HER OWN CHAIN MIGRATION WHICH IS CALCULATED TO DOUBLE
THE 40 MILLION ILLEGALS ALREADY HERE.
CLINTON IS ALSO VERY MUCH IN BED WITH THE SAUDIS WHOM GAVE
10 MILLION TO BILL CLINTON’S LIBRARY. NO COMMENT ON THE FACT THE SAUDIS ARE
MAJOR FINANCIERS OF TERRORISM, INCLUDING BOMBERS IN IRAQ KILLING OUR PEOPLE, OR
THE SAUDI FUNDED WAHHABI SCHOOLS WHICH PROMOTE ULTRA-FASCIST MUSLIM IDEOLOGIES.

3. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID):

4. SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D-CA): As a member of the
Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on military construction,
Feinstein reviewed military construction government contracts, some of which
were ultimately awarded to URS Corporation and Perini, companies then owned by
Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum. While the Pentagon ultimately awards
military contracts, there is a reason for the review process. The Senate's subcommittee
on Military Construction's approval carries weight. Sen. Feinstein, therefore,
likely had influence over the decision making process. Senator Feinstein also
attempted to undermine ethics reform in 2007, arguing in favor of a perk that
allows members of Congress to book multiple airline flights and then cancel
them without financial penalty. Judicial Watch’s investigation into this matter
is ongoing.
YOU SAW FEINSTEIN, AND HER PIMP-HUSBAND, RICHARD C
BLUM, AT OBAMA’S INAUGURAL. BLUM KEEPS
DEM POLS MOUTH CLOSED TIGHT ON FEINSTEIN’S SELF-SERVING CORRUPTION, PIMPED BY

DIANNE FEINSTEIN IS THE PAID ADVOCATE FOR RED CHINA IN

PURCHASED A $17 MILLION DOLLAR MANSION IN SAN FRANCISCO. FEINSTEIN RANKS AS ONE
OF THE MOST CORRUPT POLITICIANS IN AMERICAN HISTORY WHICH MADE HER ATTRACTION

FEINSTEIN HAS LONG BEEN ENDORSED BY THE FASCIST MEXICAN
SUPREMACIST POLITICAL PARTY OF LA RAZA, AND TIRELESSLY WORKS FOR NO AMNESTY, NO

8. SENATOR BARACK OBAMA (D-IL): A “Dishonorable Mention”
last year, Senator Obama moves onto the “ten most wanted” list in 2007. In
2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate
deal with an indicted political fund raiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more
reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It
was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased
$50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his
biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that
benefitted from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator
purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting
campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.
FEW HAVE TAKEN MORE MONEY FROM WALL STREET BANKSTERS THAN
OBAMA, AND FEW HAVE DONE MORE FOR THEM TO PROTECT THEM FROM PROSECUTION, AND
CONTINUE THE TRANSFER OF THIS ONCE GREAT NATION’S ECONOMY OVER TO THE CORPORATE
CLASS WHICH OWNS HIM.
OBAMA IS A MAJOR HISPANDERER AND HAS PROMISED WALL STREET
AMNESTY FOR 38 MILLION ILLEGALS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED AND PROFIT MARGINS
SWOLLEN. NO WORD FROM OBAMA ON MEXICAN GANGS MURDERING BLACKS IN COLD BLOOD IN
LOS ANGELES. DO SEARCH LOS ANGELES TIMES.
*
9. REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA):
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who promised a new era of ethics enforcement in the
House of Representatives, snuck a $25 million gift to her husband, Paul Pelosi,
in a $15 billion Water Resources Development Act recently passed by Congress.
The pet project involved renovating ports in Speaker Pelosi's home base of San
Francisco. Pelosi just happens to own apartment buildings near the areas
targeted for improvement, and will almost certainly experience a significant
boost in property value as a result of Pelosi's earmark. Earlier in the year,
Pelosi found herself in hot water for demanding access to a luxury Air Force
jet to ferry the Speaker and her entourage back and forth from San Francisco
non-stop, in unprecedented request which was wisely rejected by the Pentagon.
And under Pelosi’s leadership, the House ethics process remains essentially
shut down – which protects members in both parties from accountability.
PELOSI HAS LONG HIRED ILLEGALS
TO WORK HER 20 MILLION DOLLAR NAPA WINERY. SHE HAS SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENTS IN
SUNKIST WHICH HAS A POLICY AGAINST PAYING LIVING WAGES OR HIRING LEGALS. SHE WORKS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH THE OTHER
LA RAZA SUPPORTERS, FEINSTEIN, BOXER, ESHOO, LOFGREN, SANCHEZ, WAXMAN, KENNEDY,
HARMAN, BACA, HONDA, FONG, BECERRA AND
REID TO KEEP THE BORDERS OPEN. SHE HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY TO SABOTAGE THE WALL
TO PROTECT US FROM NARCO-MEX.
10. SENATOR HARRY REID (D-NV): Over the last few years, Reid
has been embroiled in a series of scandals that cast serious doubt on his
credibility as a self-professed champion of government ethics, and 2007 was no
different. According to The Los Angeles Times, over the last four years, Reid
has used his influence in Washington to help a developer, Havey Whittemore, clear
obstacles for a profitable real estate deal. As the project advanced, the Times
reported, “Reid received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions
from Whittemore.” Whittemore also hired one of Reid’s sons (Leif) as his
personal lawyer and then promptly handed the junior Reid the responsibility of
negotiating the real estate deal with federal officials. Leif Reid even called
his father’s office to talk about how to obtain the proper EPA permits, a clear
conflict of interest.
ON BEHALF OF HIS BIG GAMBLING BRIBE-STERS, REID WORKS WITH
THE CALIFORNIA LA RAZA GIRLS FOR OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY AND NO LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGAINST ILLEGALS. HIS STATE IS NOW 25% ILLEGAL, AND NEXT TO CALIFORNIA, HAS THE
HIGHEST RATES OF FORECLOSURES.
SENATOR BARBARA BOXER, CA. Although Boxer did not make the
TOP TEN CORRUPT in 2007, it’s probably
only because there wasn’t enough room. Boxer is as corrupt as they come. She
has used her elected office to collect a staggering fortune labeled “CONSULTANT
FEES”, which she then siphoned off to her son, lawyer DOUGLAS BOXER. Senator
Barbara Boxer voted NO to stop this form of corruption, and keeps herself on
the SENATE’S NO ETHICS COMMITTEE to sabotage any investigations into
FEINSTEIN’S massive corruption. Other politicians that collect special interest
bribes they refer to as “CONSULTANT FEES” are Kennedy and JOE BIDEN who has
collected big money from BIG BANKERS. This made the clown an obvious choice to
be VICE PRESIDENT for OBAMA pandering for more BANKSTERS BRIBES.

WHAT DID THE BANKSTERS KNOW ABOUT OUR ACTOR OBAMA THAT WE
DIDN’T KNOW?
Records show that four out of Obama's top five contributors

BARACK OBAMA HAS COLLECTED NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS
JOHN McCAIN
BY DAVID SALTONSTALL
DAILY NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
July 1st 2008
Wall Street firms have chipped in more than $9 million to
Barack Obama. Zurga/Bloomberg
Wall Street is investing heavily in Barack Obama.
Although the Democratic presidential hopeful has vowed to
raise capital gains and corporate taxes, financial industry bigs have
contributed almost twice as much to Obama as to GOP rival John McCain, a Daily
News analysis of campaign records shows.
"Wall Street wants change and wants a curtailment in
spending. It wants someone who focuses on the domestic economy," said Jim
Cramer, the boisterous host of CNBC's "Mad Money."
Cramer also does not discount nostalgia for the go-go 1990s,
when Bill Clinton led the largest economic expansion in history.
"It wants a Clinton like in 1992, but not a Hillary
Clinton," he said. "That's Barack Obama."
For both candidates, Wall Street's investment and banking
sectors have become among their portliest cash cows, contributing $9.5 million
to Obama and $5.3 million to McCain so far.
It's a haul that is already raising concerns that, as the
nation's faltering economy has become issue No. 1, the two candidates may have
a hard time playing tough on issues like market regulation or corporate-tax
loopholes.
"No matter who wins in November, Wall Street will have
a friend in the White House," said Massie Ritsch of the Center for
Responsive Politics, which crunched the data for The News.
Wall Street's generosity toward Obama, in particular, would
seem to run counter to its self-interests.
In addition to calling for corporate and capital gains tax
hikes, Obama has proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $250,000.
But Wall Street is often motivated by something more than
money - winning.
"In general, these are professional
prognosticators," said Ritsch. "And they may be putting their money
on the person they predict will win, not the candidate they hope will
win."
Records show that four out of Obama's top five contributors
are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG
($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup ($358,054).
McCain's top five include Wall Street's Merrill Lynch
($230,310) and Citigroup ($219,551).
