Fact Check

You’ve heard me say it before, and now Factcheck.org (a group which sometimes gets it right, although not as often as I’d like) points out that Obama’s Pennsylvania advertising simply isn’t true - he takes contributions from oil company employees and their spouses, not the oil companies themselves (because that’s not legal) just as Clinton does, and he most certainly lawyers his way around the “I don’t take money from lobbyists” schtick, too.
That’s not new, and it’s not transparent.
And people wonder why Hillary won’t quit……
Not really. According to Opensecrets.org, both Obama and Clinton are in the Top 10 recipients from oil & gas PACs as of March 3.

Yep, I was looking at the wrong page.
So again, OB is being called to the carpet for being a politician?? Like you said earlier in another comment…we take this chance with whomever we elect…
