That's the same song and dance he does about lobbyists. "I don't take money from lobbyists." Yeah right! Instead of cash directly from the lobbyists, he has them *volunteering* their time to work for his campaign AND he takes money from their spouses!

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.
