Yeah, that's sending a message alrighty!  The message is lie as long as it 
looks good, you figure people are too stupid to figure it out and you can 
CYA if you get caught by pointing out the technicalities.  Yup, that's the 
message I want my kids to get from politics.

And, folks seem to keep forgetting that they never said they wouldn't take 
money from lobbyists.  they said they "will no longer accept Washington 
lobbyist donations."  Hello!  That leaves them wide open to all kinds of 
lobbyists.  Not all lobbyists and PACs are out of Washington, nor do they do 
their lobbying in Washington.  THOUSANDS of lobbyists are locals and have 
agreements with the big boys to do their bidding in Washington.  That leaves 
a whole slug of lobbyists out there that Obama and the Teflonistas can rally 
round the money pit known as a campaign!

I've done lobbying.  I've been part of a PAC.  We were registered out here. 
That means we weren't a "Washington lobbyist" and could have made donations. 
Sheesh, Teflon really, really makes Slick Willy look dull!
