Obama questions Tim whether TV networks would be willing to provide free
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 09:36 AM by flpoljunkie
air time for political ads to help keep money out of politics and lessen the need for politicians to spend so much time raising campaign cash.

Did you know that lobbyists can actually serve as treasurers of members of Congress' campaigns? No wonder the voice of the people cannot be heard in Washington.

Obama just finished on Meet the Press. Now Carville and Matalin are on. Did Carville say Time magazine has the five photos of Bush with Abramoff?

Evidently they cannot publish the photos, but have seen them:

The President's memory may soon be unhappily refreshed. TIME has seen five photographs of Abramoff and the President that suggest a level of contact between them that Bush's aides have downplayed. While TIME's source refused to provide the pictures for publication, they are likely to see the light of day eventually because celebrity tabloids are on the prowl for them. And that has been a fear of the Bush team's for the past several months: that a picture of the President with the admitted felon could become the iconic image of direct presidential involvement in a burgeoning corruption scandal—like the shots of President Bill Clinton at White House coffees for campaign contributors in the mid-1990s.
