SubscribeObama’s Hopefund PAC Only For Democrats
As in our other article on Mr. Obama’s bi-partisan bona fides, the question arises:
How many times has Mr. Obama told us that he will “reach across the aisle” and end the partisan bickering that has crippled Washington, DC for the last generation?
Well, as with so many things, Mr. Obama’s rhetoric does not quite match his record.
From “Barack Obama on Principles & Values” from at the putatively non-partisan site, On The Issues:
Hopefund PAC donated $500K to Democratic Senate candidates
In 2005, Sen. Barack Obama created Hopefund, a political committee, with the goal of promoting the candidacies of leaders who are committed to changing the course of our nation to ensure the promise of America for future generations.
Already, Hopefund has made contributions to Democratic Senators up for re-election in 2006 and helped raise nearly half a million to help the Democrats take back the US Senate. Our activities will not be limited to the US Senate: Hopefund will be our vehicle to help shape the debate for Democrats around the country.
Candidates
- Daniel Akaka (HI)
- Jeff Bingaman (NM)
- Sherrod Brown (OH)
- Robert Byrd (WV)
- Maria Cantwell (WA)
- Thomas Carper (DE)
- Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY)
- Kent Conrad (ND)
- Dianne Feinstein (CA)
- Edward Kennedy (MA)
- Amy Klobuchar (MN)
- Herb Kohl (WI)
- Ned Lamont (CT)
- Claire McCaskill (MO)
- Ben Nelson (NE)
- Bill Nelson (FL)
- Debbie Stabenow (MI)
- Sheldon Whitehouse (RI)
Of course even Mr. Obama’s slush fund political action committee would be all about “hope.”
But weirdly, he doesn’t seem to be any too proud of his good works these days. For while this information was originally posted at his PAC’s website, HopeFundAmerica.com, “About Barack” Nov 17, 2006, it has since been “disappeared” from the internet.
But the information above can still be found at the link.
Thankfully, the FEC has a record of the rest of the contributions made by Mr. Obama’s noble Hopefund:

I may be mistaken, but I believe everyone on that list is a liberal Democrat. And note that at the top of the list they claim “No Associated Party.”
Mr. Obama is so bi-partisan, you see.

So when OHB says he wants to “unite” America, what he’s really saying is he wants everyone to be represented by and ruled by democrats. No other parties allowed.
