Here’s the sentence in The Telegraph news item that is the quintessence of nearly all “Obama” stories in the liberal media:
”…Sen Obama, who has promised a change from politics as usual…”
OK, now read this part, which helps prove that both he and his wife are another
modern day liberal Democrat
farce, who apparently spew forth so much nonsense over and over, which is so willingly sucked-up and repeated in the ever-so-adoring liberal media so often, that they’ve all actually started believing their own nonsense:
…But she has just been re-elected to the board of an Illinois food-processing company, a position she took up two years ago to gain experience of the private sector.
And the biggest customer for the pickles and peppers produced by Treehouse Foods is the retail giant Wal-Mart, the world’s largest corporation and the bête noire of American liberals, including Sen Obama, for its employment practices, most notably its refusal to recognise trade unions.
As the Illinois senator prepared to join the presidential fray late last year, he threw his weight behind the union-backed campaign against Wal-Mart. He declared that there was a “moral responsibility to stand up and fight” the company and “force them to examine their own corporate values”.
According to the couple’s tax returns, Mrs Obama earned $51,200 (£25,700) for her work as a non-executive director on Treehouse’s board last year, on top of the $271,618 salary she was paid as a vice-president of the University of Chicago Hospitals.
She also received 7,500 Treehouse stock options, worth a further $72,375, as she did the previous year, when she banked a $45,000 salary from the company.
[…] According to Treehouse’s financial filings, Wal-Mart accounted for 16.1 per cent of its sales last year, up from 11.7 per cent in 2005 (a 37 per cent increase), comfortably making it the company’s biggest customer. Treehouse’s annual operating profits rose from $28 million two years ago to $84 million (up 200 per cent) in 2006.
I also like this analysis from a non fan—or what liberals might call an “Obama denier” or an “Obamaphobe”, or a “racist”, or something:
Joe Novak, a Chicago political consultant who runs an anti-Obama website, said: “The Obamas would have us believe that, when it comes to money and ethics and compassion, he is a different kind of politician.
“What’s different here is that they actually seem to believe it. That’s the only way they can justify the contradictions between what they preach and what they practice. Defending Treehouse while attacking Wal-Mart is a blatant example of personal hypocrisy.”
