Why does Obama tout himself as the only presidential candidate not corrupted by Washington politics?

Obama's earmark record contradicts that because he tried steering millions of federal dollars to his wife’s employer and the company of a top campaign donor. Recently released earmarks reveal that the Democratic presidential candidate requested $1 million for the hospital that employs his wife Michelle and $8 million for a military contractor with a board member who has given hefty sums to his campaign. The $1 million was requested in 2006 to build a new pavilion at the University of Chicago Hospitals, where Michelle Obama was vice president of community affairs. Michelle had already benefited from her husband’s flourishing political career with a huge salary increase that went from $121,910 in 2004 before he was elected to the Senate to $316,962 in 2005 just after he took office. Obama requested the $8 million for weapons technology manufactured by a big defense contractor (General Dynamics) with very close ties to a major fundraiser named James Crown.

1. because he is a liar.just look at his voting record,lol he is all about the bigger picture.he has voted party lines all but twice.only the sheep see it different!
2. He says it because it sounds good. This is called politics.
3. Politicians give favors for money, money for favors, and favors for favors which all relates to some kind of vote for or against something that is in their best interest or that of the state they represent. That is what a politician is. That is the essence of politics. I don't believe it is even considered corruption by those who have served as our representatives for multiple terms. It is viewed by them as the only way to get things done. They are all the same and if they aren't in the loop, they are treated like Ron Paul. That is the difference between a statesman and a politician. Obama is a politician.
4. he's just like bush. repeat the lie over and over again until you get some fool to believe it.
5. because he hasn't been there. all politicians communicate their greatest weakness as a strength. he uses it to vaporize his lack of experience. i'm not corrupted by washington politics, but i'm also not fit to be president because i lack the experience.
6. ~~~ignorance is bliss~~~~
7. Corruption is in the eye of the crook. Anyway it's because he's basicly still a 'new born'. He has NO experiance because he hasn't been corrupted by his colleges on Capital Hill yet. IF he's elected, he'll show his colors.
8. He can tout all he wants. He does have less WDC tenure than a lot of others but at the same time, he does claim to be a fast learner, I believe, if you know what I mean.
9. Because he's predominantly corrupted by his Church.
10. Because his corruption preceded his presidential run, having evolved from his dealings in his own home state.
11. Because hes only been corrupted by Chicago politics so far.
12. I suppose he feels he's been corrupted enough by his old minister ....
13. Realize his quest is to get drunk with Power and money.(oh yeah I forgot All the illegal drugs he liked in College)
14. Some folks can get away with a ton of stuff as the general populations will not check and just go along.
15. because he is corrupted by his rev. and the other big names that belong to his church, and run the muslim nation in this country!!!!!!
