Obama Is Getting Entirely Too Much Good Press On Lobbyist Money “Ban”
I’ve seen glowing articles like this one all day today about Obama’s demand that the DNC not take lobbyist money. But while the journalists fawn, those of us who aren’t so in-the-bag for Obama are wondering why many people aren’t mentioning the fact that Obama only expects the DNC to live up to his campaign’s standards for taking money from journalists and that the Obama campaign’s standards still allow for contributions from the spouses and relatives of lobbyists.
I mean, isn’t that a bit like saying that you won’t take a bribe from a business owner, but you will take a bribe from his wife?
If Obama were a Republican this gaping loophole in his “ban” on lobbyist money would be thrown right back in his face. But instead he’s the liberal messiah, so I guess it’s all good.
