...........

In April 2008, Clinton’s campaign aired a television ad portraying Obama’s support for a 2005 energy bill as a quid pro quo for campaign donations. The ad said Obama had “accepted $200,000 from executives and employees of oil companies,” while criticizing him for voting “for the Bush-Cheney energy bill that that put $6 billion in the pocket of big oil.”

The clear message of this ad: Obama backed the bill as a favor to donors.

It’s worth noting that Obama didn’t take any money from lobbyists or PACs in 2008 and pledged to not take contributions from lobbyists in 2012, too, and gave some donations back.

While mostly true, critics did point out after the 2012 campaign that Obama did take some K Street money.

They literally have been using the exact line from the attack ad to defend Hillary trying to insinuate Sanders campaign and supporters are suggesting Corporations directly donated to her (which they point out is illegal). Let's dispel with this notion they don't know what they're doing; They know exactly what they're doing!

Maybe she will make them pay by creating more fracking jobs.

WaPo is suggesting Bernie's statement is three Pinocchios, guess 2008 Clinton didn't get that memo
