| Fact Check On Public Citizen's Claim That Obama Has Bundler Lobbyists |
|
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 10:41 AM by ProSense
February 08, 2008 Public Citizen recently claimed that Barack Obama has 10 bundlers who are federal lobbyists. But none of the individuals they cite are currently registered to lobby. As an Obama spokesperson has said, the ban on accepting money from federal lobbyists is not "a perfect solution to the problem , and it isn't even a perfect symbol, but it does reflect that Obama shares the urgent desire of the American people to change the way Washington operates."

| 3. Hillary Clinton, #1 in contributions from lobbyists, raised almost twice as much as #2, John McCain! |

| 5. Thanks, that's really interesting. |

I'm a little surprised that Obama has everyone beat in the 'retired' category.
