As the Center for Responsive Politics points out, Obama recieved $71,051 which "accounts for less than .01 percent of Obama's total campaign contributions."

Compare that to Palin's statement "I don't know why the question isn't asked by the mainstream media and by others if there's any connection with the contributions made to president Obama...Now if this was President Bush or if this were a Republican in office who hadn't received as much support even as President Obama has from BP and other oil companies, you know the mainstream media would be all over his case in terms of asking questions"

I don't understand why people are so willing to accept Palin's version of the truth?

I mean, what's the issue here? Even if some of that money, or even all of it, came "from the top," so what? Again, it "accounts for less than .01 percent of Obama's total campaign contributions."
