Obama says he doesn't take money from oil companies. We say that's a little too slick.

In a new ad, Obama says, "I don’t take money from oil companies."

We find the statement misleading:

•Obama has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who work for companies in the oil and gas industry and their spouses.

•Two of Obama's bundlers are top executives at oil companies and are listed on his Web site as raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for the presidential hopeful.

See this from factchec.org dated March 31, 2008.

” A little misleading”? Hell’s bell. Call it what it is - a damned lie and Obama is a liar. In fact, we call he “The Liar in Chief”, along with “Coward in Chief”, “Commie in Chief”, “Ahole in Chief”, and “Chief Crook and Crony-Hirer”.

O is a Chicago liar. He took money from anyone and everyone willing to give him a nickel to a million bucks and broke the pledge he made that he would abide by the limits of public financing. Damn liar!

FactCheck helped Obama get elected by misleading the public on Obama's citizenship.

Are they trying to salvage credibility, even as their candidate is dropping like a rock in the polls on this very issue?

Is Obama becoming a monster out of the Left's control?

It's from March 20008. Even worse, IMO, considering what the known truth is now.

Soros’ twin Maurice Strong is also associated with Petrobras - he did begin the earth summit it RIO!

And, don’t forget about Obama’s recent fundraiser at the Getty’s (oil tycoons)! When was that again? only a month ago, during the spill, you say? This guy’s a real piece of work!
