Obama Accuses Hillary of Being a "Money Machine"

Now its time to take the gloves off. Let's call a spade a spade. Hillary is nothing but a corrupt politician who is part of corrupt political machine. That is why she is so far ahead. She is a tool of the powerful ruling class that is destroying America. And if elected, she would succeed another member of the ruling class:
“Hillary Clinton aggressively seeks money from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs [political action committees],” the e-mail read. “She’s even said that these lobbyists represent real Americans. She’s wrong.”


That e-mail and a campaign “memo” released last week refer to Clinton as “the most entrenched political machine in Democratic politics” and “the greatest money machine in the history of American politics.”

[...]In a speech Monday in Wisconsin, Obama seemed to be spreading the criticism, reportedly denouncing “triangulation and poll-driven politics,” which appears to be a shot at former President Clinton as well.

[...]“Sen. Obama believes in leading by example, which is why he has not only refused to take a dime from federal lobbyists or PACs, but why he has fought for the most sweeping ethics and lobbying reforms in both the Illinois state Senate and the U.S. Senate,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in an e-mail. “Obama was able to raise more primary dollars than any other candidate in the race by tapping real people and the thousands across the country who are committed to changing the country.

If she becomes president we can expect to hear many more stories like the one about Norman Hsu:
A newly-released campaign-finance report filed by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is shedding light on Norman Hsu's political network.

The disgraced democratic fundraiser faces fraud charges in California and New York. Senator Clinton has refunded more than $800,000 in campaign contributions delivered by Hsu.

Clinton's latest report shows the money came from 249 of Hsu's associates. Most of them are Californians, but New York investors were also major participants in Hsu's financial operations.

Some of those listed say they only contributed because they felt pressured by Hsu.

Still not convinced!? Watch this video on the Peter Paul scandal.
