Hey Obama Donators? You should listen to this Live Interview!
http://www.jontalk.com/listen.html

It's very insightful and the guy being interviewed has some good insight about how the grassroots
donations are changing the way Wall Street has to deal with Obama. In that he doesn't 'need' their
$$ as much and therefore.... the rules of the game are changing. (Sorry but I didn't catch his name)

If you miss the interview, then you can catch the re-run at 2 AM EST on http://www.NovaMRadio.com

1. Not only are they left out, but he is so well funded that he can campaign more.

3. From what I understood, he's still taking money from them too.

Just not as much as before but he's still got corporate funds coming in...

2. Got the name... but the interview just ended.....
Robert Perry from http://www.consortiumnews.com/

These are the stories he was discussing.

----------


Why the War on Obama
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2008/022608.html

The intensifying personal attacks on Barack Obama reflect a growing realization among entrenched Washington insiders that his campaign -- funded largely by small donations -- could dilute their influence. Neocons, in particular, are joining with Clinton supporters to take Obama down, spreading rumors about his patriotism and his past. February 26, 2008

---------------------------------

Obama's One Million Donors
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2008/022608a.html

Barack Obama's supporters are mocked as naive, even cult-like. But that may be the sound of the Democratic Establishment worried that the Obama campaign's one million small donors are striking at the heart of the old order's power -- control of campaign cash. In this guest essay, Brent Budowsky looks at this revolutionary potential. February 26, 2008

4. And that's something I find almost as exciting as him.
That the people of this nation have taken back the political process and are making sure they get what they want. It's taken a while, but I think the general population is finally awake!
