| 41. Obama saying he doesn't take money from Lobbyists |
|
Harpers Magazine:
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:QSIUlIICOBQJ:www.h...
"Individual contributors to Obama include some of the best-connected lobbyists in town, including Jeffrey Peck (whose clients include MasterCard, the Business Roundtable, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) and Rich Tarplin (Chevron, the American Petroleum Institute, and the National Association of Manufacturers). "
-snip-
"consider the following: in one of his earliest votes as a senator, Obama helped pass a class-action “reform” bill that was a long-standing and cherished goal of business groups. (The bill was the focus of a significant lobbying effort by financial firms, who constitute Obama's second-biggest single bloc of donors.) "

Obama takes money from lobbyists. That's disappointing. Clinton takes more, so I don't understand |
