More Dishonesty: Obama & Big Oil.

[Just_Believe18]

So you're saying that employees who work for Big Oil can't donate to the candidate of their choosing?

If I was an executive for Wal-Mart and I donated $2,000 to Obama's campaign, would my donation be a "conflict of interest" to influence Obama to support Wal-Mart?

Furthermore, would "0.11%" of total funding raised be enough to buy Obama out for the interests of Big Oil? The percentage is so miniscule you could pull the same numbers of individual donations from people who work for the Unions, NRA members, anti-abortionists, etc. This thread makes no sense.

No, we're saying there's nothing wrong with employees who work for big oil donating to the candidates.

Obama says there is. He says he doesn't take money from big oil, that Hillary does.

NOBODY takes money from oil corporations, and nobody has for decades because it's illegal. They ALL take money from oil company employees -- there is no difference between Hillary's oil donors and Barack's oil donors.

He's pretending something is bad when it's not, and he's misleading about not doing it too.

This keeps repeating with Obama -- you cannot trust what he says. Just like George Bush you could argue he isn't technically lying, but he misleads all the time.
