by John McCormick
AUSTIN, Texas -- Sen. Barack Obama declined to comment today on a blockbuster story in the New York Times about a relationship between Sen. John McCain and a Washington lobbyist.
During a tour of a football facility at the University of Texas, Nedra Pickler, a reporter for The Associated Press, asked Obama whether McCain had an inappropriate relationship with lobbyists. She was immediately scolded by head coach Mack Brown.
"Do you know it's inappropriate while we have his time to ask him these inappropriate questions?" Brown asked.
Said Obama with a grin, joking: "Coach solved that one, didn't he? Shame on you Nedra."
