At last night's debate Mike Gravel brought up an interesting point in that Barack Obama claimed that he wouldn't take money from banks and from lobbyists. Mike Grave's accusation of was denied by Obama last night and he even refuted it by claiming that the reason why Mike knows about the "bundlers" is because of the legislation he has helped passed. After the debate however CNN proclaimed that Barack has not passed such legislation and it is evident that he is being supported by lobbyists and banks. If Barack is lying to us now why wouldn't he lie to us if he is elected president?

Well just to prove that Gravel's claims are correct check out the FEC's list of Barack contributors, which includes media companies as well. Hillary's is quite similar.

Not only is he a liar but his campaign is as well.
Obama had used a story on July 4Th to get Media attention when an Armenian man was checked out by Obamas secret service detail and the police Lt Mc Andews said this Man was not a threat but he was arrested and held for 3 days in Iowa. the politico.com Ben Smith wrote about this and checked facts and did two more stories and made the facts know on this left wing blog. And the Obama people and supporters said to all Armenians to go back. They also put out very hatfull lies trying to spin this.
Who is next you or me. We all came from some where.
Also last night Obama said he would use his faith (Islam masked)( why has a fatwa not been put out on him like any other Muslim who changes faith?) He said he would use his on non believers. Key word here non believers ( Jews Christan's and others non Muslims like him) this question was from the atheist.
Obama lies as it is OK for a Muslim to lie to a non believer and their is a Turks and Arab saying " it is OK to lie and too kiss your enemy's feet until you can cut his throat" So yes he is a liar.

No, it is not evident that Barack is being supported by lobbyists and banks. He has been very careful about his donations which are almost entirely in small amounts from private individuals. You are misinformed, and Barack Obama did not lie.
If you have a source for your claims, cite it.

They are all liars!!!!!!!! However, we got to find the one that lies the least or is not going to hurt us with his lies like Bush did. But you'll never find a totally honest politician!!! And it doesn't matter what religion he is, all Muslims are not Terrorist. As long as he know there is a God, and have morals, principles, and values. That's the point of religion. Everyone just call God by different names, but he know who they are talking about.

I know I'm repeating, but almost all politicians lie, and the honest ones don't seem to get votes. However, most of Obamas contributors are individuals.

It's a job requirement. You couldn't get on a small town school board without lying.
