Invesco Field sell-out takes on a whole new meaning with Obama

Remember how Barack Obama reneged on his promise to remain within the
public-financing system in June? Obama said at the time that his
campaign raised money from the grassroots, so……

Apparently the condition of one’s character is not important in Obambi world.

I pretty standard politics to accuse your opponent of doing exactly what you yourself are doing, jgap.

It’s fairly easy to see who is telling the truth these days, though…if you care about the truth, that is.

As usual, the sheep that follow Obama will say “look over there,look what they are doing”,instead of addressing the fact that it is their candidate that is running on the platform of “Change” in how government is run.

Obama is showing that he is no different than any other politician who puts money first and will change his views based on polls.
This is clearly not leadership!!

Every time Obama gets up to speak and says he brings “Change” to business as usual in DC,he is flat out lying and
only brainwashed idiots are still buying this line.

Even some hardcore democrats are seeing this now:

Is This What It Means To Be An Obama “Progressive?”

But a new breed of Democrat and “progressive” is emerging. Glenn’s Greenwald’s interview with Mort Halperin allows us to coin a new phrase – a Halperin “Progressive.” What is a “Halperin” progressive? One who decides what the right position is for progressives based on what Barack Obama does. Glenn writes:
[T]here was only one meaningful change that occurred between Halperin’s June 9 opposition [to FISA Capitulation] and his July 8 support [for FISA Capitualtion]: namely, it was in that interim — on June 20 — that Barack Obama announced that he would support the FISA bill . . .

This sums up the weak,starry eyed liberal follower of Obama
nicely.

Obama can slap them in the face with hypocritical statements and broken promises all day long and they will raise their hands forming a big “zero” and chant
“Lead us o great one”
“lead us o great one”

right straight off a cliff.

But campaign officials last month reluctantly decided they had to take a hand in raising large donations from individuals, unions and corporations.

He’s wrong on many issues; but this at least shows how to get him to change his mind refine his position. Offer him cash (and sorry about the insinuation that he’s ever changed his position on anything, I know he hates that).

But does this really count as “a new type of politics”? Lying, and money-grabbing aren’t exactly the “new” politics I was led to expect.

I pretty standard politics to accuse your opponent of doing exactly what you yourself are doing, jgap.

How many flip-flops have I committed in this campaign, Alphie?
P.S. I agree with your second point.

…his sanctimonious depredation of such donations…

I think Ed meant “deprecation.”

Yes alphie it is a constant political maneuver for the socialist party. Remember Kerry and “Booshs secert draft plan” of 2004? lol its my favorite example of the lefts diversion tatics which are constant!!(how else can they dupe stupid people into voting for socialism???)

Obama is for expanding Big Wasteful Government.

It’s fairly easy to see who is telling the truth these days, though…if you care about the truth, that is.

I’d say since McCain flip-flopped on his promise to keep this campaign out of the gutter, Obama is free to do what he wants.–alphie

Didn’t you read the post?

his (Obama’s) campaign went “negative” first against John McCain when he (Obama) had pledged to eschew such advertising.–Ed

Another Obama flip-flop: Campaign raising “soft money” from big donors

Can anyone remember a reform pledge Barack Obama hasn’t
broken? First, he insisted that he would remain within the
public-financing system, as late as……

That was the hope, anyway. But now comes the change.

What say we start with ten million dimes a pop?…
