Has Grandpa's lobbyist-infested campaign commented on Obama's lobbyist $ ban?

[npincus]

Has the straight-talkin' reformer has anything to say about this? It's a lot easier to throw down the gauntlet for a couple of joint town-hall appearances than it is to get the filthy, stinking dirty money out of his campaign!

Touche, barack! :rofl:

NEW YORK (AP) — In his first order of business as his party's presumed presidential nominee, Barack Obama is instructing the Democratic National Committee to adopt his policy against accepting donations from federal lobbyists or political action committees.

The change will make the party and the candidate have a consistent position. Obama often says banning the donations is one way to help keep him free of the influence of Washington insiders.

An Obama spokesman announced the change Thursday as the candidate prepared to fly from New York, where he had been raising money, to campaign in Virginia.

Obama himself planned to discuss the change at a town hall meeting in Bristol, Virginia.

The move indicates Obama will argue Republican rival John McCain is under the influence of special interests because of his advisers' lobbying ties.

2. I saw Carly Whatshername (The former HP CEO)

on with Andera Mitchell today.

She conflated individual donors with lobbyists and said Barack does take big pharma, etc, PACs.

I think that's not true, but she said it anyway.
