36. It is documented the Obama campaign has no qualms with taking money from spouses of lobbyists
His fund raisers have been documented saying "You're a lobbyist? Well your wife can contribute!". Obama also used lobbyist money for his PAC to bribe establishment officials to endorse him in South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Almost half of his "HOPEfund" cash went to those four small states. It is obvious it was a front for Obama's presidential campaign and he used it, perhaps illegally, to get around laws regulating presidential campaigns. He did this by claiming he wasn't running for president at the time. :rofl: Legally it can't be proven that he was running for president but ethically he is clearly lying.
