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.
