ABC News: Money Trail: Lobbyists Gone Wild as Obama Remains Silent

from The Blotter from Brian Ross at ABC News

By BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ, and AVNI PATEL

Despite a campaign that attacked corporate and special interest lobbyists as evil and banned their money and participation, Sen. Barack Obama has done little, if anything, about their pervasive, free-spending presence at the Democratic convention in Denver, ethics watchdog groups say.

I love the part where Obama's campaign simply claims they didn't have enough time to clean up all the lobbyist money before the convention. Sort of reminds me of "I had been drinking a lot of iced tea and must have been in the bathroom"...
