Obama Nominee Lied About Political Contributions
This seems to be a trend among Obama nominees. First pretend to be a moderate, then once you’re in office and your falsehoods about your own record and political history are exposed just shrug your shoulders and move on. Because by then it doesn’t matter.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s health secretary nominee got nearly three times as much political money from a controversial abortion doctor as she told senators.
The Health and Human Services Department said Monday that the omission was an oversight that Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius would correct.
In a response to questions from the Senate Finance Committee made public last week, Sebelius wrote that she received $12,450 between 1994-2001 from Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers.
But in addition to those campaign donations, records reviewed by The Associated Press show that Tiller gave at least $23,000 more from 2000-2002 to a political action committee Sebelius established while insurance commissioner to raise money for fellow Democrats.
Sebelius did not tell senators about that additional money, although Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., asked specifically about any Tiller donations to her PAC.
Remember when Obama promised the most accountable and transparent administration in history? Yeah, that was just something he said to get elected.
