Now About Obama and the Lobbyists...

Searching around the Net & I came across this little video from Factcheck.org. Great bit of debunking of the "I don't take lobbyist money" claim from Obama plus the added bonus of leglislative record comparison b/t The One and Hillary. From April 2008...




And Andrew Walden from Canada Free Press has an article up with three questions that the media should ask Barry...

Senator Obama: Lehman Brothers owes over $250 million to a bank owned in part by Nadhmi Auchi’s holding company. Auchi was a key financial backer of Tony Rezko. Sources indicate you met Auchi twice when he visited Chicago in 2004. If elected, how will your relationship with Rezko and Auchi affect your policy towards Lehman Brothers?

Senator Obama: There are reports that Nadhmi Auchi was in 2004-2005 seeking US residency while appealing his French court conviction in the ELF-Aquitaine case. If elected, would you look favorably on a US residency application from Auchi?

Senator Obama: You stated that the Lehman bankruptcy shows that Americans cannot afford four more years of the Republicans’ “failed philosophy”. Can Americans afford a President whose home was purchased with the assistance of now-convicted-felon Tony Rezko, a man characterized as having “permanent indebtedness” to Nadhmi Auchi?


I'm still waiting for someone to post a video grab of Karl Rove bitch-slappin' Alan Colmes tonight about the Obama - Fannie/Freddie ties. Let me know if you see one posted - I want to save that for posterity...
