As far as I know, not even the Hillary camp...has ever insinuated what you have here: that Obama's vote on critical issues can be bought.

Give me a break. Obama has said that Clinton is corrupt and beholden to special interests at every campaign stop for 15 months and you want to squeal like a stuck pig when it is pointed out that Saint Obama has been known to carry a little water for his corporate patrons? I've never seen a campaign with such thin skin.
And, by the way, Clinton has leveled the Exelon charge at Obama...in the last debate....questioning why he watered down the public notification requirements for nuclear spills in his own bill after he met with the CEO of Exelon.
She also hit him hard on his Exelon ties before the Nevada causus. Exelon has spent millions lobbying for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste project, a hot-button issue in Nevada.
Obama has also carried Exelon's water protecting their coal-burning power plant interests.
Exelon associates have given $179,000 to Obama's Presidential campaign...almost all of it early when they were his number 2 donor.
Exelon associates gave Obama $46,000 for his 2004 Senate race.
Exelon's PAC has given $98,000 to Obama for his state races, beginning in 1998. Oh, but wait, Saint Obama "doesn't take PAC money" so he won't be beholden, right?
