I think Obama got $269,900 from Exelon, that is why he voted for the 2005 DICK CHENEY ENERGY BILL as soon as he arrived in Washington. His Senate partner Dick Durban (D-ill) also voted for the 2005 Bill. Interesting connection, Bill Ayers Father, Tom Ayers was once the CEO of Commenwealth Edison, now called EXELON

Uppity, I like this post because it clearly makes the point who is donating to BHO. I would really like to see the 8% undisclosed donor’s list.
As to kid saying that Fox is..” a racist sexist homophobic television station.”….Why, because some people disagree with points of views that differ from their own? Try debating the issues rather than attacking the person. Maybe not voting for BHO makes a person a racist?

Man oh man. The way he’s able to lie and say whatever is convenient for him while nobody of note questions him is so stomach turning. Exelon gave him over 200grand!!!? I’m sick.

Well Ohio child, not in MY circle they don’t.

Now about Hillary, why don’t you go do the work and find out yourself? Hillary isn’t the person standing in front of crowds claiming she only takes money from the little guy and doesn’t take money from PACs and lobbyists is she now? Now I heard Jesus Obama say that again just yesterday. That’s what you call a lie.

I wasn’t aware the Obama campaign was even remotely interested in “sexism,” considering some of the filthy crap I have read some of them say to women on message boards. But thanks for trying.

Many African Americans agreed with what Rev. Wright said, they’re just too scared to say it. BTW how much money did Rupert Murdock give Hillary? Why is Hillary friends with a guy who owns a racist,sexist,homophobic, television station?
