Shrillary Buying Up The Black Endorsements up In Harlem With Earmarks

Hillary, the candidate of change, I mean have you ever heard a more blatant outright up and up lie than that little line she's been throwing around in her little back and forth tit for tat with Brother Bama over these past weeks.

Wait a minute, I do remember a similar flagrant blatant lie by another politician shoved down the gullets of the gullible back a few years ago, it went like this:

I did not have sex with that woman, Ms Lewinsky......

The story below indicates that not only is Hillary Washington at it's worst, she can play it up right up there with the biggest and fattest asses there in congress like her peer in corruption Mr Pork himself, Jihad Jack Murtha when it comes to swapping our valuable but wasted tax dollars for favors and endorsements.

Pastor Got Earmark Money Before Clinton Endorsement:

Newsmax.com - "Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) secured more than $1 million in federal funding last year for a Harlem-based non-profit whose leader gave her presidential campaign a major endorsement last weekend."

Clinton -- who is aggressively competing for the black vote with her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) -- touted the endorsement of Rev. Calvin O. Butts III, a prominent black leader and pastor of one of the oldest black churches in America, the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlem.

The $555-billion FY 2008 omnibus spending bill approved last month by Congress included 11 appropriations bills with almost 1,000 earmarks. Clinton teamed with senior New York Sen. Charles Schumer and New York Rep. Charles Rangel, both Democrats, to provide three earmarks for the Abyssinian Development Corporation (ADC).

The ADC is a separate non-profit community development organization chaired by Butts that focuses on increasing quality housing, delivering social services, and boosting economic and educational opportunities in Harlem.

Clinton backed an $839,000 earmark to the development corporation's programs for at-risk youth; $446,500 for the organization to expand youth after-school programs; and $146,000 for the group's social service work.

Clinton accepted credit for the Abyssinian earmarks and other earmarks in a statement released in December, saying, "I am proud that these funds will help support critical investments in New York City -- from strengthening community programs for our children to supporting the city's colleges and universities to cleaning up our waterways."

An analysis by the government watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste found that of all the presidential candidates serving in Congress, Clinton had the most earmarks.

Clinton's Senate press secretary Philippe Reines said in a written statement that Clinton is "very proud" of the federal funding she secured for the state of New York, but the statement did not address any specific earmarks.

Neither Butts nor the development corporations responded to inquiries from Cybercast News Service this week for comment.

As he endorsed Clinton Sunday, Butts remarked he is "confident that Sen. Hillary Clinton is the candidate best suited to be the Democratic presidential nominee and the next president of the United States." continued

Sure she is now that the check has been in the mail and quickly cashed she is Butts.
