Hi “US”, the very real and plaguing question I have for you is how any Democrat can consider voting for Obama if, you believe any of the information that is fast becoming available about him? I believe it and just let me say, no Obama, no way and no how?

“Turns out, the biggest recipient of contributions from Exxon executives and employees during this campaign is not McCain. It’s Obama.” (NOW READ THE REST OF THE STORY BELOW)
The non-partisan center writes: “Through June, Exxon employees have given Obama $42,100 to McCain’s $35,166. Chevron favors Obama $35,157 to $28,500, and Obama edges out McCain with BP $16,046 vs. $11,500.” (omg THESE ARE SUCH HUGE SUMS OF MONEY)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“McCain leads the money race with nearly every other top giver in the oil and gas industry, though — Koch Industries, Valero, Marathon Oil, Occidental Petroleum, ConocoPhillips,” the report says. “McCain also has a big edge with Hess Corp. — $91,000 to Obama’s $8,000 — which has gotten some attention. And, overall, McCain’s campaign has gotten three times more money from the industry than Obama’s has — $1.3 million compared to about $394,000.”

I hope all of you people/organizations/whatevers that donated to this cause, are happy with what is going on with your hard-earned money now. We have a corrupt government and it isn’t going to get better.
Why in hell would oil companies want to support someone who wants to windfall-tax their profits, beyond what they already pay?
