QUOTE: Obama worked with Russ Feingold (D-WI) to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act", which was signed into law in September 2007.[76] He joined Charles Schumer (D-NY) in sponsoring S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections. Obama walks the walk.

He walks the walk and he is what the nation needs. Too bad he's black--he would have made a fine President. |

Excuse me while I get into my chrishayden mode... Considering the exorbitant amount of money contained in Obama's war chest, and how Chicago newspapers revealed that some of it was obtained from shady sources and crooked real estate deals, this news has a hollow ring. You can't "walk the walk" if you don't practice what you preach. . This bill is just window dressing. Politicians will always find ways to extract favors and special privileges and circumvent laws and trying to prevent this is not a priority in confronting America's crises. Iraq and Iran and gas prices and health care are where the focus should be. |
