Good Obama hit on McCain regarding McCain's hypocrisy in claiming he's gonna take on the lobbyists. A lobbyist is chairing McCain's campaign. A former lobbyist is running it. There are more than 60 current and former telcom lobbyists on McCain's campaign. It's ridiculous how in bed McCain is with lobbyists in Washington. But no one holds McCain accountable. The man may have been a maverick at some point in his life, I don't know what he is now. But he's not the John McCain who ran in 2000, that's for sure.
Bill Burton, from the Obama campaign notes today:
"Voting with George Bush 90% of the time isn't being a maverick, it's being the President's sidekick. The idea that John McCain represents change in Washington is as laughable as his claim that he'll take on the special interests when some of the biggest corporate lobbyists in America are running his campaign," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
