Does it trouble you that OBAMA has taken $395,574 in campaign contributions from Lehman Brothers?

Question

Yes, I know it came from Lehman Brothers employees. So what? It's all the same.

Answer 1

not to mention what he took from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac....Barack Obama Got $42,116 For Every Year In The Senate From Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and now they want to tax the shite out of us... he is a crook ( among other things ) if you ask me..



and by the way, McCain didnt take all that much compared to nobummer!!!!!!



McCain/Palin

Answer 2

Wall Street businesses are big contributor to both McCain and Obama. It's no big secret. Lehman Brothers is huge investment and have long history(since 1850s).



I'm not sure what you're trying to get. Did Lehman Brothers engage in illegal activity? Or criminal? Or did they fail because of investment in bad loans?



And did those employees who made contribution go to jail?McCain took some over 100k from Lehman himself. And I'm not sure why theres something wrong with taking money from company that recently failed because of investment going wrong.



Did you or anyone know Lehman will fail this year? Who would have thought big investment bank like Lehman which have been around over 100 years will fail? This wasn't like taking money from lobbyist who went to jail. Obama and McCain took money from well established corporation that became latest victim in this latest mortgage mess.

Answer 3

I would only be worried if a candidate's campaign employed current or former lobbyists who lobbied Congress on behalf of Lehman Brothers. That hasn't happened, has it? Neither of the campaigns would employ lobbyists, would they?

Answer 4

It does me.

Obama is TOAST on this issue.

Answer 6

does it bother you that McCain has over 100 lobbyist working on his campaign?

Absolutely Yes - What troubles me more is that it did not trouble Obama

Hmmmm. There are going to be a lot of Scratchys on this one. But I am completely on board with you!

No, it's logical, the employees don't want to lose their job and they know (like everybody with two working neurons) that other four years of Bushism will mean the end of our financial system.
