Lobbyists and The Road to the WhiteHouse

Glad to see Obama taking the moral high ground and denouncing the McCain campaign's association with lobbyists. Of course there is that pesky problem of saying you are taking the moral highground without actually doing so.

Biden's son is a lobbyist. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/13/1393483.aspx Yeah I know he quit but just like the folks who work McCain's campaign did as well. So if the McCain staffers are still lobbyists, seems Biden's kid must be, too.

David Axelod, Obama's campaign head was the next best thing to a lobbyist. http://www.newsweek.com/id/138519 But, since he never registered, he must be okay.

Oh, and Obama's fundraising campaign staff? Looks like they are the lobbyist dream team. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-04-15-obama_n.htm

Reminds me of the old adage "How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving".
