Obama's Questionable Stocks

In Other Violations
No Agenda

So much for that squeaky clean image of Barack Obama's:

<<< Less than two months after ascending to the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors.

One of the companies was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu. In March 2005, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more federal spending to battle the disease. >>>

Naturally, Obama denies there was any connection, and blames his broker for the investment... but he shouldn't be too concerned. As long as he remains a Democrat, his party leaders won't care, and the mainstream media won't call him on
