Not really when it is simply a lie.

While Obama *supposedly* doesn't accept PAC/lobbyist donations, he has the
leading PAC/lobbyist working for him as *volunteers* instead of giving 
actual $$ AND has their wives/husbands making donations in their names!

Plus, his "people" send the lobbyists to other organizations, such as
MoveOn.org, that are running ads for him.

Ol' Teflon is big on illusion and technicalities.

Bottomline, it IS nothing you're getting but more of the same but with a 
slicker package!
