Beer Monday Linkfest: Obama Takes Money From Lobbyists
Monday. The start of a new work week, time to get busy, shift a few paradigms, revolutionize outside the box. How ’bout a beer?
You’re saying, that wasn’t a beer commercial. Correct. But it was written by someone who was either sh*tfaced, or by people who think you are drunk because you are “bitter.” Back in 2007, FactCheck.org wrote that this was “hair-splitting” by Obama. And they mentioned it back on March 31, 3008.
Newsday mentioned that Obama took money from Greenberg Traurig, the lobbyist firm Jack Abramoff worked for. And USA Today notes that he took money from individuals working for lobbying companies, and has many recently former lobbyists on staff, which is where the “hair splitting” comes in. More hair splitting would be the massive amounts of money that Obama received through MoveOn, which also happens to be a registered 527 and also a PAC. For more on that, go here and here.
In other words, Obama is playing games. And notice that the above ad is an attack against Hillary, and does not defend against what Hillary’s says.
It may seem as if I am defending Hillary. I suppose, in an offhand way. Mostly what I am doing is highlighting Obama’s BS, since, unless he has at least one or two big meltdowns between now and the Dem convention, he will be their nominee for the Jackass Party, and I want McCain to win.
BTW, another cute “Obama Girl” type video that smacks him around on this same issue.
