Where'dja get that?
Moron More on Pfleger Pflave
Rev. Michael Pfleger, the politically active leader of St. Sabina Church. He gave Obama’s campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.
Pfleger said he made those donations personally, not on behalf of the church or to win grants. [uh huh]
“At a time when less people vote than ever, I don’t think pastors should be silent on politics,” Pfleger said.
Principled:
"My philosophy was that, if money was being distributed, then it would be inappropriate for me to not get my share for my district,” Obama, now one of the U.S. Senate Democrats’ leaders on ethics reform, said in an interview. “Did I think it was the best way to prioritize government spending? No.”
[emph mine - e~C]
Spreading it around:
Another supporter, Henry English, made two donations to Obama totaling $900 in 2001 after Obama helped send a $50,000 grant to a non-profit group that English ran, the Black United Fund of Illinois.
...
The Chicago-based Muntu Dance Theatre received a $4.5 million grant to help pay for a $10 million cultural center.... And at the time $2.25 million of the grant was disbursed, Obama’s wife, Michelle, sat on the non-profit dance group’s board.
"There’s a black man stealin’ my show!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
