Obama Is Man Of The (Rich) People

Even though Barack Obama has been masquerading about the country as a "man of the people" a "new politician" and catalyst of "change, hope and blah blah blah", his campaign contributors aren't exactly those "little people" that he's constantly trying to butter up. Apparently big donors are the key to Obama's success in fundraising.

In an effort to cast himself as independent of the influence of money on politics, Senator Barack Obama often highlights the campaign contributions of $200 or less that have amounted to fully half of the $340 million he has collected so far.

But records show that a third of his record-breaking haul has come from donations of $1,000 or more - a total of $112 million, more than the total of contributions in that category taken in by either Senator John McCain, his Republican rival, or Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, his opponent in the Democratic primaries.

Behind those large donations is a phalanx of more than 500 Obama "bundlers," fund-raisers who have each collected contributions totaling $50,000 or more. Many of the bundlers come from industries with critical interests in Washington. Nearly three dozen of the bundlers have raised more than $500,000, including more than a half-dozen who have passed the $1 million mark and one or two who have exceeded $2 million, according to interviews with fund-raisers.

What does all of this mean? Well, it wouldn't mean anything had Obama not ran his entire campaign thus far on being something that he isn't. Which is to say, running as an honest, new, fresh and genuine change agent that will reform Washington and turn the government into a well-oiled, tax guzzling machine. (The last part he will probably do, actually).

Anyway, Just add this to the list of reasons the man is a liar and a fraud.
