PROOF Obama is nothing but a corporate whore

[CTLawGuy]

1. He's black. Obviously since blacks have been in the upper eschelons of wealth and social power throughout their entire history in America, this is clear evidence that Obama knows nothing about regular people and cares only about the power elite because that's where he comes from.

2. He worked as a community organizer after college and then as a civil rights lawyer. Obviously, this means that he is interested only in climbing the corporate ladder and making that big corporate money. He could have done something noble, like work at a hedge fund, like uber-progressive John Edwards did.

3. His campaign was totally funded by corporations. Wait, you say that's not true, that 88% of his funding came from individual donors? (http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638) and that he got negligible money from PACs, which, by law, are the only means by which a corporation can donate to a candidate? Furthermore, of his total of 320,000 reported donors, 194,000 gave less $1000 (that's 61% for you math majors)(http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/donordemCID.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638), and we don't even KNOW the multitude who gave less than $200? Well those are FACTS, those have no place HERE. Obama is OBVIOUSLY dependent on corporate money to fund his campaign.

Big props to all the "brave" souls on the left speaking out against this clear shill for the corporations. Ralph Nader would be proud! Future President Romney thanks you as well!

Anybody who doesn't conform totally and completely to their idea of what ought to be gets called this.
