Obama team breaks pledge, taps lobbyists for cash

"President Obama's re-election team is raising big money from lobbying firms and other special interest groups that benefit from his policies and appointments.

This doesn't make Obama any different from other politicians -- but it sure makes him different from what he promised to be.

In March, Obama's campaign officially announced it would cooperate with Priorities USA, the pro-Obama super-PAC run by Obama administration and Obama campaign alumni.

So Obama's virginity pledges of no corporate money and no lobbyist money -- which were always riddled with loopholes -- are now officially defunct." [Washington Examiner]
