Barack Obama: This Is Not The Joe Biden I Knew

Barack Hussein Obama is against lobbyist cash. Joe Biden rolls in it.

The Center for Responsive Politics has a thorough analysis of Sen. Joe Biden's campaign cash intake now that

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has selected him as his running mate.

The industry that has given Biden the most cash has been lawyers/law firms ($6,567,404) followed by real estate ($1,297,690). Pro-Israel groups are the 8th biggest contributing industry.

Obama may decry lobbyist cash (or at least federal lobbyist cash), but Biden has taken $344,400 from lobbyists since 1997 -- making lobbyists the 10th biggest contributing industry.

That seems a direct contradiction of the Obama message.


Gee! Yah think?
