A read of the New York Times online bring me to this potion of an article. This is actually quoting the Los Angeles Times about how Obama was paying the bills back in 2000 in his home.

“After an unsuccessful campaign for Congress in 2000, Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama faced serious financial pressure: numerous debts, limited cash and a law practice he had neglected for a year. Help arrived in early 2001 from a significant new legal client — a longtime political supporter.

Chicago entrepreneur Robert Blackwell Jr. paid Obama an $8,000-a-month retainer to give legal advice to his growing technology firm, Electronic Knowledge Interchange. It allowed Obama to supplement his $58,000 part-time state Senate salary for over a year with regular payments from Blackwell’s firm that eventually totaled $112,000.

A few months after receiving his final payment from EKI, Obama sent a request on state Senate letterhead urging Illinois officials to provide a $50,000 tourism promotion grant to another Blackwell company, Killerspin.”

Alot of people preach about change, but in the end a politician is a pretty much the exact same slimeball of past generations.

Keep in mind that I do not dislike Barrack Obama, I just hate socialists. What is more I truly loathe socialists who pretend to prize democracy to achieve their agenda.

From here.

Obama needs Charlotte to win, but we have seen bullshit before and his is nothing new
