Obama is careful to claim in the ad that he does not take money from “Washington” lobbyists. That’s because he does take money from state-based lobbyists.
Long ago the media watchdogs, such as Politifact.com, determined that at best it is only half true for Obama to claim that he takes no money from federal lobbyists. He takes plenty of money and advice from those who work for lobbyists, such as former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle.
Lucky for Obama, most of the news media seem not to care about such contradictions.
