Presidential Election One Year Away

I voted for Obama in November of 2008.
Like most Americans, I was lured into
believing that we would experience "change".

Obama was different from the other candidates. He
pledged not to take money from special interests groups.

Obama pledged he would not take PAC donations
from pharmaxeutical companies. You might recall
that Obama publically stated that he would not
accept donations from Wall Street. And the Law
Firms that run America? I did my research...

Do you think that America's media reported the
results of my findings in April of 2008?

My decision on who to vote for in 2012 has already
been made. The name of the candidate who will get
my support is the same name Odysseus gave to
Polyphemus (Poseidon's son) during his Odyssey.

My column was written before Obama and McCain
became the official presidential candidates:

When they call the roll in the Senate, the
Senators do not know whether to answer
'present' or 'not guilty.'"

Rub-a-dub-dub, Three Senators in a Tub
And who do you think they be?
The moocher, the faker, the PAC money taker,
Turn them out, knaves all three.

In March of 2008, the Federal Reserve bailed out Bear
Stearns with $30 billion in emergency aid. During the
2004 campaign for the presidency, the Chairman and CEO
of Bear Stearns, James Cayne, donated $100,000 to the
George Bush election campaign. Who will bail out America's
bankrupt taxpayers? Senators received money from Bear
Stearns too.

Do I do research? You bet your butt I do. Bear Stearns
hired a lobbying firm, Venable LLP, to pass dollars to
members of the Senate who would support their bailout.
I spent hours tracing down donations from Venable to three
Senators who are currently running for president. Dozens of
Venable employees donated to Clinton and Obama. Obama has the
nerve to represent that he does not accept money from lobbyists,
yet, I found Carol Bruce, Karl Davis, Seth Rosenthal, and Geoffry
Garinther (all work for Venabloe) each giving $2,300 or more to
Obama. Clinton? I found Karl Racine, James Shea, Thomas Quinn,
and Charles Morton (all work for Venable) each giving $2300 or
more to her campaign. The list of donations from Venable to
powerful presidential candidates is a long one. Even McCain
received money from a Venable attorney, Bruce Jolly, Esq.

Wall Street firms know how to invest wisely. Let's take a
look at the manner in which another firm does business.

Goldman Sachs is the largest global investment banking firm
in the world. In 2007, each of Goldman Sachs' three top
executives earned in excess of $67 million, and 2007 was
a down year for Wall Street firms which lost an estimated
$350 million. Goldman Sachs' expertise is in making prudent
investments. They invest in people too, expecting huge
returns.

This year, Senator John McCain received $115,600 in
political donations from Goldman Sachs.

This year, Senator Hillary Clinton received $440,300 in
political donations from Goldman Sachs.

This year, Senator Barack Obama received $523,168 in
political donations from Goldman Sachs.

Biotechnology companies have grown wealthy during the past
eight years, thanks to influence purchased by PAC dollars.

How does the pharmaceutical industry relate to our current
three senatorial presidential hopefuls in the tub?

So far, in 2008, Senator John McCain has received $139,400
in donations from the pharmaceutical industry.

So far, in 2008, Senator Barack Obama has received $506,001
in donations from the pharmaceutical industry.

So far, in 2008, Senator Hillary Clinton has received $528,765
in donations from the pharmaceutical industry.

Senators vote on bills and serve on committees which award
billions of dollars in lucrative contracts to various firms.
The worst burdens taxpayers bear are represented by the dollars
paid to law firms. Taxpayers are raped by a self-serving system
Senators use to pad their own accounts. Trickle down
bribenomics, anyone?

In 2008, Senator John McCain has received $3,610,713 in
donations from law firms.

In 2008, Senator Barack Obama has received $13,690,170 in
donations from law firms.

In 2008, Senator Hillary Clinton has received $14,843,862
in donations from law firms.

McCain, Obama, Clinton. All three owned by the same masters.
All marionettes dancing to the impulses of the same puppeteers.
