    Oh come on, do you really think that Obama has no lobbyists either? He is a politician, thus he has lobbyists. By that logic Obama also opposes change.

    Get a life.

    Obama's campaign IS, and has been, full to the brim with lobbyists and corporate interests.

    He can call them anything he wants, but everybody knows the truth.

    That "registered" lobbyist and PAC stuff is a total joke and had everybody in Washington rolling on the floor laughing as they wrote their checks for $2,300 to Obama and $25,000 to the DNC. And really huge ones to sponsor the convention and the parties for the high rollers.

    Those guys will be eating at the White House if Obama wins - with their hands out.

    You mean the same lobbyists under cloak and dagger at the DNC convention?

    Might I ask where you think Obama got the majority of his donor dollars since he did not take public funding? Probably the same "anonymous" donors that helped build the Clinton Library.

    I always laugh about the fact that everyone is against the generic "lobbyists"

    You realize , enviromental groups have lobbyists? Animal rights groups have lobbyist? Socialist groups have lobbyist?

    So we're going to pretend that all of Washington isn't run by corporations and lobbyists...like Biden's son.

    Wake up. No politician is for change. They are out for themselves. No matter who is president, the country will be the same.

    Your right McCain has some explaining to do!
