Obama Won't Return Money From Tax Deals

[questionmark]

President Barack Obama won’t return campaign donations to executives, advisers and directors who have profited from offshore mergers that reduce corporate taxes using a technique he has called “unpatriotic.”

Responding to a Bloomberg News report that described connections between more than 20 Obama donors and the tax-cutting transactions, White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz said the president will keep the cash.

“We are not privy to the details and have no role in any individual company’s plans,” Schultz said yesterday at a briefing on Martha’s Vineyard where Obama is vacationing. “But what the president is focused on is stopping the problem.”

He's going to keep the money but not promote their agenda!? For shame.... Doesn't he know that if he doesn't stay bought by his special interest groups, they will stop giving him money?

What politician really gives a crap about whom they accept money from? They only care if it might cost them votes, otherwise they will accept money from criminals, terrorists, etc as long as no one finds out.

Remember Kennedy, when he turned on the big labor unions (mafia backed) who many considered won him the election, he was taken out. Obama should be worried because the big boys don't **** around. I believe you don't bite the hand that feeds you, you don't p*** in the wind, and you don't mess around with Jim (in this case Jim being the heavy hitters that sponsored his campaign)

I'll say one thing for obama, at least he's p***ing everybody off now. Good for him.
