Fall guy abramoff takes one for the team.

By -
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff was sentenced to four years in federal prison Thursday for his corrupt lobbying activities, which led to the downfalls of a congressman and several other Washington officials.

Choking back tears, Abramoff delivered a highly emotional plea for the judge to exercise leniency, but readily admitted he had done wrong.

"I stand before you a broken man," he said during the two-hour sentencing hearing. "I am not the same man."

Abramoff has served 22 months in prison on a separate conviction involving casinos in Florida. The judge said that the new four-year term will run concurrently with the remainder of that sentence.
-I'm sure he wasn't a saint, but he is only a patsy for a much larger scandal.

Exactly, patsy and distraction, and lets not forget a pressure valve, people (sheeple) will see this and say "oh see they are cleaning up" though one patsy getting punished does not mean a clean up. We need a total breakdown and restart is what we need...lobbyists will never end unless we get big business out of Congress. Nice post!

22 months huh? Odd.

That is the logo for " vsa partners " who designed the Obama campaign logo. It certainly is representative of the Masonic Compass "as above so below". The "S" acts as an interwoven serpent. The funny thing is, the designers' name is Sol Sender. Literally, he is the sender of the SUN/LIGHT. Sol Sender, who led the creative development of the Obama ’08 campaign logo, has joined VSA Partners as a strategist. As principal of the design agency Sender LLC, Sender developed the design strategy and directed a team of designers that created the defining symbol of the 2008 campaign. The Obama ’08 assignment began in late 2006, when Sender’s firm was hired by MODE, a Chicago-based motion design studio with an existing relationship with David Axelrod, the Obama campaign’s chief strategist. Given two weeks to develop design options, Sender and two designers—Andy Keene and Amanda Gentry—produced multiple logos for consideration by the campaign, including a versio...

Barack Obama's fake birth certificate and mysterious orgins.

So this is a copy of Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate, that was sent to the LA times directly from his campaign. You can view it directly on the obama website . • Where is the embossed seal and the registrar’s signature? • Comparing it to other Hawaii birth certificates, the color shade is different. • Isn’t the date stamp bleeding through the back of the document “June 2007?” (Odd since it was supposedly released in June 2008.) • There’s no crease from being folded and mailed. • It’s clearly Photoshopped and a wholesale fraud. * Hawaii never has referred to race as "African" they instead use "Negro" in 1961 This is what is should look like. 1. Barack Obama was likely born in Honolulu, the hospital still unknown for some reason ( WHY won’t he say? ), on Aug. 4, 1961. A birth announcement in the newspaper has been found by one of our researchers*. It looks like this: 2. Although this announcement suggests his parents were married, that’s still an o...
