Of course we know Clinton has taken $800,000 of the what, 150 million, raised from PACs. She makes no bones about it and reports it.

It is Saint Obama who is playing games. To score cheap poitical points (something he decries, right) he stopped taking PAC and lobbiest money for this election. Well, not exactly. He still takes money from registered state lobbiest. Good grief. His New Hamphire campaign chairman was a registered lobbyiest.

And, he has federal lobbyiests among his major fundraisers. He just asked them to suspend their federal lobby registration for the year. Doesn't matter, they are mostly Washington lawyers workign for lobby firms where some are registered, some aren't. It's a sham.

Look at Obamas list of top donors. It reads like a list of Washinton based legal/lobby firms. Same as Clintons. Same as any other Presidential candiate.

Look, I don't begrudge him for financing his campaign the same way every other politician does. I don't have any problem with it at all. His fundraising is legal and in accordance with the campaign finance laws. I do begrudge him for being a hypocrite with his holier-than-thou attacks on Clinton for being "corrupt". He takes contributions, plays poker with lobbiests, and carries water just like any other politican.
