And he said he would dedicate his career to cleaning up the influence of money in politics. In other words, he didn't do anything illegal or unethical, and the lesson he took away from the case was that Washington was awash in money and corruption and it needed to be fixed. Since then, he has worked on campaign finance reform (notice how Obama opted out of public financing when it became convenient for him to go back on his promise) and has been a consistent voice against corruption and influence-peddling in Washington. And what do we have in Barack Obama? A guy who owes his entire career to influence-peddling in the Chicago political machine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:272830 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
