You Know You're a Liar When CNN and The New York Times Call You on Your BS

From CNN:

I want you to hear something President-elect Barack Obama said just about a year ago:

"I am running to tell the lobbyists in Washington that their days of setting the agenda are over. They have not funded my campaign. They won't work in my White House."

Just this weekend The New York times published a list of names -- a rather long list of names of people -- who are working on Obama's transition team or who have accepted jobs in his White House who are either former lobbyists or who have close ties to lobbyists.

Watch the video here.

OBAMA BRAGGED ABOUT GETTING HIS SUPPORTERS MILLIONS IN GOVERNMENT MONEY

Ain't this the same jackass running around telling everybody how he doesn't pander to special interests? Ain't this the same yahoo telling everyone how he's not like the other politicians? The audacity of bullshit!

In a speech to the Urban League last July, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., boasted of his efforts in 2001 to help a handful of African American-owned investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business with Illinois state pension funds. "And in six months, they got about a half-billion dollars' worth of business simply on their excellence," Obama said.

What he did not say in his speech was that the owner of one of the investment firms, John Rogers of Ariel Capital, is a principal campaign fundraiser. Nor did he reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise more than $765,000 for his campaigns, according to campaign documents. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have allowed him to use their private jets. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been dismissed by the state pension fund for "underperformance."

And why is he helping only African-American businesses? One America Obama. You said so. Or were you just yanking the Captain's chain?
