I can't believe that all of this stuff has been dug up on him and it hasn't found its way into the mainstream media.

Maybe because they are all bullshit slander? You lost all your crediability when you had to have a "sexy girl" explain things, to try to get people's attention.
 
Uhm, darkpikachu... the fact that Obama tried to make that distinction had certainly found its way into mainstream media. One of your own links is a video from CNN. It's not the only place to put that out there, either. Unfortunately, there's just too many negatives out there around this guy getting air-time to beat this dead-horse issue. You could have just left the CNN video and the fact-check.org video and it's pretty much the exact same as the rest of those videos. (except for the credit cap)

Bullshit slander? No. It's just pointing out discrepancies in what he says and what he does. Then again, politicians being liars shouldn't even be newsworthy considering how many untrustworthy Democrats and Republicans we've elected.

Oh and that Clinton/Obama debate... what she said was not true. He was an ex-lobbyist, who is taking time off for the campaign. Personally? I wonder... if he will go back to being a lobbyist if his man gets elected.

It doesn't matter who wins, all three of them are hypocrites and liars. The only "hope" we can vote for is a "hope" that once somebody is elected that they won't shun the bullshit they've been spouting for a year... fat chance.
 
Are all the videos are weak as the last one?

Less than a quarter million from oil and gas employees over several months when he spends $20 million in a month? Oooooh! They might have bought 1% of his influence.

He takes money from former lobbyists instead of current lobbyists. How is this a problem? If you're ever a lobbyist, can you never donate to a candidate again?

Some people aren't paying $3.50 a gallon or more for gas? She's right! I was paying 3.499 just the other week.

I wonder if anybody who donated to Obama snorts cocaine or smokes marijuana. Then, factcheck.org could run a spot about how Obama takes donations from drug users.

I think Obama lived in the same state as Gacy. Maybe factcheck.org should claim that Obama and Gacy were BFFs.

I don't want to vote for Obama, but these sad sack ads are making me want to run to Clinton or McCain.
 
All of your videos seem to take gripe (and use shitty music and other distractions) with the fact that Obama has taken donations from oil employees and their spouses, as if it is some sort of cover as opposed to taking money from PACs.

Last I checked, even oil employees were Americans too, and are entitled to vote and donate as they please, as long as they follow the law regarding such activities. Obama has no right to say to these people "Oh, you work for an Oil company, therefore I don't give two shits about your opinion and won't take your money, because you are clearly not THINKING FOR YOURSELF, and serve only the one whom you work for".

and DEAR GOD, how many times are these idiots going to assume that just because a person is married to someone that they no longer THINK FOR THEMSELVES?! I swear, my g/f can think for herself, and married or not, just because she is with me does not mean she is going to vote or donate how I do (Hell, she's a Republican, I'm a Democrat).

I was willing to listen and hear what FactCheck.org has to say about the candidate I support in the coming election, be it negative or not. But really, if you want me to take their opinion or "facts" seriously, they need to come up with something better than the idea that wives or husbands cannot think for themselves and only support whom their partner supports, and a bunch of shitty photoshops to make a point.

At this rate, FactCheck.org is making Fox News look professional. I'd next expect them to claim Obama isn't an American because he doesn't wear a flag lapel pin, but that's already been done.

Factcheck.org is pretty reliable. They're not taking shots at Obama and if you go to the website you can read more articles that are pretty even-handed and better than that one video clip about a spam email and a TV ad. They're simply saying that his no lobbyists and PACs rhetoric really isn't that big of a deal or make him all that much different from the other candidates. I support Obama and I can see what they're saying.

Just go to the website, it's a lot better than that, and they don't make FOX-type character judgments, they simply point out factual inaccuracies and misleading claims.
