Obama’s Investments Raises Eyebrows




Topic started on 8-3-2007 @ 04:20 PM by Don Wahn


It appears that Barack Obama may have made his first really bad decision in his race to become President of the United States.

Soon after he rose to his post within the Senate, Obama purchase a sizeable amount of stock in two companies that turned out to investors that are some of his biggest political donors.

Could this spell trouble for the seemingly infallible Barack Obama?

How does this even matter? It's already proven that politicans MUST be allowed to keep their assets when going into office so what does it matter? Naturally there MAY be bias but maybe there isn't, maybe he feels confident in his selections anyway.

Is Senator H.Obama doing his own investing, or is that the job of the
Investment planner, Broker?

when ever one gets onto the national stage, its either customary
or required (don't know which) for the office holder to have their
holdings & investments admistered in a 'blind trust' arrangement,
which is designed to make it appear there is no favoritism or influence
either by the lawmaker or for any corporation.

I see Mrs. Bill Clinton's war room is open for business!

This is just the tip of the iceberg for Barack Hussein Obama. Mrs. Bill Clinton owns the Democrat nomination, and if anyone gets too hot, they become a target.
