Obama embraces Big Bad Equity Firms for funds

(I just thought this Democrat hypocrisy needed a front page presence)

Ahem...

On Monday night Mr. Obama spoke at a fund-raiser at the Manhattan home of Tony James, the president of the private-equity giant, the Blackstone Group. [/b][/i] Attendees, many from the private-equity world, paid $35,800 a head for the privilege of dining with the President who purports to loathe Wall Street when he isn’t asking its greedy denizens to redistribute their wealth to his campaign. Mr. James donated the legal maximum of $35,800 to the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee in November 2011.

This is the same private-equity business the Obama campaign is now smearing as morally repugnant when undertaken by Mitt Romney. [/b][/i]

The hypocrisy of the left marches on.

More details on the Obama fundraiser held by Tony James, president of the Blackstone Group, a huge private equity firm.

While trying to define Republican Mitt Romney as an insensitive job-killer during his time as a private equity executive, the Obama campaign also is raising money from private equity executives on Wall Street - and hoping voters don't see that as hypocritical.

The Obama campaign's political dexterity was evident on Monday, as it released a blistering video ad recounting how Romney's Bain Capital laid off 750 workers from a steel mill in Missouri. Hours later, the campaign raked in about $2 million at a Manhattan fundraiser held by Tony James, president of the Blackstone Group, a huge private equity firm. [/b][/i]

The Blackstone Group had been on the Obama campaign's radar before - as a target for criticism.

Last month, the campaign identified a Blackstone partner, Paul Schorr, as one of "eight wealthy individuals" who donated to Romney's campaign after "betting against America" in "less-than-reputable" deals that led to outsourcing and layoffs. [/b][/i]

You liberals aren't fooled by Obama. You know that he is as dishonest as any other politician. But no different than the conservatives who will vote GOP no matter who is running, your ideological blindness will keep you from being any more honest with yourselves then Obama is honest. Whore can be used in many contexts.... and that's a fine word to describe Obama.

Some of us have other things to do besides hang out on message boards all day.

And some of the "progressives", who have hung out on the board all day posting, still failed to comment.

I did notice though Kate that when you did post it wasn't to decry Obama taking money from the very same people he calls "parasites and vampires" while out on the campaign trail. Pandering for votes comes to mind given that not even Obama believes what he says in his stump speeches - though he is hoping his Obots from the last election will still believe what he is saying and not change who they vote for in November . . . . . .
