Obama's Cash-For-Access Scheme

PRESIDENT ON THE TAKE

Story here.

ht: Drudge Report
During his first nine months in office, President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House, private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings.

(...)

One top donor described in an interview with The Times being given a birthday visit to the Oval Office. Another was allowed use of a White House-complex bowling alley for his family. Bundlers closest to the president were invited to watch a movie in the red-walled theater in the basement of the presidential mansion.
Hmm... the White House lies claims that they've got the "toughest ethics standards in history" for fundraising.

Yeah, right... suuuuure. And Paris Hilton is prim and proper, just like Britney Spears. And they never deliberately accidentally exposed their smooth-shaven frontal vertical smiles to paparazzi.

The White House also, bizarrely, asserts that the Administration has:
reduced special-interest influence over the policymaking process to promote merit-based decision-making
Can you believe the chutzpah? No one, other than mentally-disordered Obama-positives, believes such blatantly untrue claims, yet they make them anyway.

The bigger the lie...
