Obama's funds, Hillary's debt

Yesterday 18Brumaire poked a finger in the eye of Barak Obama's puffery. Unlike Hillary Clinton, he is not beholden to corporate funding, but to the humble us$ that the ordinary Joe or Jane contribute to his campaign through the internet. Eyewash pure and simple. Others might go as far as accusing the junior senator from Illinois of demagogery. The run for the White House has a little less than 10 months to go, and already, funds spent by the candidates running for America's highest office has gone over a half-billion us$. Obama's words begs belief. The ordinary guy or gal on the street has not enough werewithal to raise the hundreds of millions he needs for his campaign. So a keen eye would scratch beneath his words to find the mother lode of his campaign funding, and yes, ladies and gentlemen, it comes from corporate funding. Hillary Clinton who never denies funding from the fat cats has had to lend her own campaign us$5m from her own purse. The big money is rolling into Obama's pockets because the special interest smell a winner! We all know that Goldman Sachs has Obama in its Wall Street wallet; the nuclear power industry glows with his support; the assurance companies chirp at Obama's Bush lite plan for healthcare. He may be bright and handsome and brilliant as Oprah proudly proclaimed but Obama knows by class and education which side his bread is buttered.
