		<description>I think that Obama is just being himself--a politician. Let&#039;s put aside all the issues for a minute and consider the following (&lt;a href=&quot;http://archives.avrnlive.com/chamo-11-20-08.mp3&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this is a point I brought up in my recent radio interview&lt;/a&gt;). Regardless if you are a Democrat or a Republican, the following should set off some red flags.

For 8 years, Bush has been hammered on every turn for his ties to big oil, Enron, greedy corporations, and all things that symbolize capitalism.

One the other hand, the Obama campaign along with the rest of the media painted a picture of a campaign that was supposedly mostly funded by grass-roots initiatives and everyday people who wanted to see a &quot;change&quot; in Washington.

But like Bush, Obama received significant donations from oil companies,  defense contractors, Wall Street and other sources that historically were considered in the pocket of the GOP.

The more money you get from special interests, the more favors you owe to a lot of people. The Clintons were very good with paying off favors which is why defense contractors preferred Hillary over both Obama and McCain. When Clinton dropped out, guess which candidate got the majority of their support?

Obama.

Cash accepted by any special interest group by any politician is a under the table IOU. And based on the simple fact that the Obama camp led the most expensive presidential campaign in American history, he is going to owe a lot of people.

All Obama is doing is rearranging the furniture. Unfortunately between his top campaign contributors and the recycled Clinton people he picked for his cabinet, it appears the guests are simply waiting for the furniture to stop moving to find their seat. Hey, but its &quot;change&quot;, right?

		<description>Wow. That was very informative and opened my eyes on the true motives of President Elect Barack Obama. But even with all the twisted truths, can you honestly say that you would have prefered Senator John McCain? Would you want a repeat of George W. Bush?</description>
