Reply #9: How much money was he paid to endorse Obama? What favors were exchanged?

[IndianaGreen]

It would be hypocritical for me not to ask this question from the Obama campaign when the same question has come up in recent Hillary and Edwards endorsements.

For reference I submit FrenchieCat's thread:

As some DUers have pointed out, it is not illegal to pay money for, or to give a lucrative contract to a firm or company, as a quid pro quo for a political endorsement.

I am offended by this practice, and I was not aware that it existed and that it was widespread. This is a corrupt practice, and we must condemn it no matter who the candidate happens to be.
