Obama's Oil Spill
March 31, 2008
Obama says he doesn't take money from oil  companies. We say that's a little 
too slick.
Summary
In a new ad, Obama says, "I don’t take  money from oil companies."

Technically, that's true, since a law that has  been on the books for more 
than a century prohibits corporations from giving  money directly to any 
federal 
candidate. But that doesn’t distinguish  Obama from his rivals in the race.

We find the statement  misleading:



    *   Obama has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who  work for 
companies in the oil and gas industry and their spouses.  

    *   Two of Obama's bundlers are top executives at oil companies  and are 
listed on his Web site as raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for the  
presidential hopeful.

If you believe Hillary, Obama is filthy with oil money, so I am not  awarding 
any brownie points to either 
side on this issue.
