Politics roundup – Hillary broker and another Obama untruth

Hillary Clinton is having more financial trouble; she is now delaying some bill payments; two of her Ohio creditors are warning others to get money up front from her campaign.

Meanwhile, after Barack Obama’s campaign earlier denied he had personally been involved with a political stances survey form while in the Illinois State Senate, is now admitting he was personally interviewed about statements on the questionnaire.
Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago nonprofit group that issued it. And it found that Obama — the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added to one answer.

And, he can’t even tell that good of a lie:
Through an aide, Obama, who won the group’s endorsement as well as the statehouse seat, did not dispute that the handwriting was his. But he contended it doesn’t prove he completed, approved — or even read — the latter questionnaire.

So, both Democratic presidential candidates are recoiling from the ideas of “liberalism” more by the day, in prep for the general election.

Go ahead, all you who heap scorn on Green voters. Keep it up.
