How Does Obama Plan On “changing” Washington?

The only “change” Obama wants is a change to his home address!

You can always tell educated supporters from clueless bandwagoner’s. The clueless are the ones shouting “lies!” even though a monkey can look this stuff up – it’s public record!
Well before January 2008 he was pledging to take public campaign financing to run for the Presidency. Now that he’s seen that money, suddenly he’s reneged on his own promise.
So, depending on how you look at it, “change” might mean his position or mind.

It’s sad at how many facts you can bring about this man and people will continue to blindly support him because he represents himself as a man of change. He is friends with a known terrorist, and yet when I listen to the radio and people are asked would they be friends with a terrorist, they would rather say yes or avoid the question than go against Obama. This could be our President and every fact about him should be consider in every ones decision making…..

He can’t. Washington is an inherently corrupt place and so long as there are politicians it always will be. Everyone runs on the pledge to clean up politics. 200 years of the democratic process and the government is still the land of back deals and shady figures. I’m sick of being told that he’s the miracle cure for all of this.

Exactly!! Had Hillary Clinton made ONE bogus statement, CNN and MSNBC would have investigated and we would have heard that mentioned every day until her campaign ended….I wonder when they will turn on him. ABC did a fantastic job with the last debate….so good that Obama refused to debate her again! I think CNN and MSNBC have lost a lot of viewers.

Osama Obama will introduce Socialism. Income tax will rocket up to around 70%. He already said how he will have universal health care. He’ll pour so much money into welfare which will be available to illegal immigrants, because he will grant them amnesty. Do NOT vote for this man.

Since he was in Washington so far . . . and is a career politician, jsut like the rest of them . . . don’t see it, except to have a first lady who is not proud of her country and talking to Iran . . . yeah, that will work.

He will start by destroying every principle America was built on by switching the nation into socialism.

He will raise our taxes sky high. Just watch how rapidly the rich white people take their businesses overseas then.

For starters having a President who is more in touch with regular folks is a great start of change. We are tired of the same old same old game. Time for a new view.

ABC News’ Sunlen Miller Reports: In his first public campaign event since the end of the primary season, Sen. Barack Obama referred to himself twice as the Democratic nominee at a town hall in Bristol, Virginia.
Calling the Democratic Party as “my party”, Obama referenced the DNC’s decision not to take contributions from federal lobbyists and PACs, saying he “sent a strong signal” by refusing contributions from those entities.
“We will not take a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACS – we’re going to change how Washington works. They will not fund my party, they will not run our White House, and they will not drown out the voice of the American people when I am president of the United States of America,” Obama said. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/…http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/05…

Individual Contributions $14,816,448 (91%)
PAC Contributions $1,301,378 (8%)
Candidate self-financing $0 (0%)
Other $248,011 (2%)
Individual contributions are 91% of the total contributions…..Why didn’t you site that in your question??

The rich white people make all the money and the masses of the people are poor it can’t be any worse than what it is taxes are sky high now food is high gas is ridiculous so any thing different will be better than what and who in office now.

I’m sure all his shady friends will help him figure it out!

He would do worse than that…but he’s unelectable. The man is a criminal.

The change is from there pockets to his ?

MORE taxpayer money will go towards Washington’s pork. That’s a change for the worse!

Obama Accepts Campaign Contribution From Lobbyists’ Spouses And Holds Fundraisers At Law Offices That Engage In Lobbying. “Although Obama refuses direct campaign contributions from ‘Washington lobbyists,’ he takes money from lobbyists’ spouses and holds fundraisers at the offices of law firms that lobby Congress. He won’t touch money from PACs or lobbyists representing big oil and drug companies, but he happily accepts huge amounts of money from executives at those companies and many others. In fact, he’s relying on two oil company executives to raise $50,000 apiece for his campaign.” (Editorial, “Obama’s Claims On Lobbyist Money Prove Flimsy,” USA Today, 4/18/08)
The Center For Responsive Politics Has Calculated That Obama Accepted At Least $85,000 In Contributions From State And Municipal Lobbyists And Family Members Of Federal Lobbyists. “The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) has found that Mrs. Clinton has accepted more than $750,000 from lobbyists so far during the presidential campaign, while Mr. Obama took more than $85,000. Massie Ritsch, a spokesman for the center, said the group’s figures include donations from family members of federal lobbyists as well as contributions from state and municipal lobbyists.” (Jim McElhatton, “Obama Takes Funds From Lobby Partners,” The Washington Times, 2/22/08)
Obama Has Accepted Contributions From Law Firms That Engage In Lobbying:
Obama Has Accepted “Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars” From Partners Of Law Firms That Engage In Federal Lobbying. “Sen. Barack Obama, who has refused donations from federal lobbyists and paints his Democratic presidential rival as a Washington insider for accepting their contributions, took hundreds of thousands of dollars from partners at dozens of firms that lobbied Congress in 2007.” (Jim McElhatton, “Obama Takes Funds From Lobby Partners,” The Washington Times, 2/22/08)
Obama’s Campaign Has Refused To Release A Comprehensive List Of
Outside Advisers.”There is no full list of lobbyists advising
Sen. Obama, and a campaign spokesman declined to release the
campaign’s list of outside advisers. Some advisers have asked
to remain anonymous, citing professional or personal reasons,
said Tommy Vietor, an Obama spokesman, who acknowledged that
federally registered lobbyists may be among them.” (Mary

Journal, 3/1/08)
