I get begathon letters from these guys and the MoveOn.commies every day and they sound more and more desperate every day. Here’s the latest from the Barack Obama Beggars. Look at this phony line!
We didn’t get here doing that, and we’re not going to start now. We’re running a different kind of campaign. We don’t take money from Washington lobbyists or special-interest PACs — we never have, and we never will.
We rely on everyday Americans giving whatever they can afford — and I want to spend time with a few of you.

The man whose face appears next to the dictionary definition of crony capitalism has the juevos to say this:
You don’t need to take money from lobbyists when you’re taking money from their bosses, right, Barack? From the Unions? How about when you meet with them down the street…?
The Obama administration has met with lobbyists all the time and get benefits from these guys all the time. They meet with lobbyists in another building so they can say they never meet with lobbyists in the white house. Apparently SEIU, UAW lobbyists don’t count.
at least four lobbyists who’ve been to the conference rooms just off Lafayette Square tell POLITICO they had the distinct impression they were being shunted off to Jackson Place — and off the books — so their visits wouldn’t later be made public.
Obama’s administration has touted its release of White House visitors logs as a breakthrough in transparency, as the first White House team to reveal the comings and goings around the West Wing and the Old Executive Office Building.
The Jackson Place townhouses are a different story.
There are no records of meetings at the row houses just off Lafayette Square that house the White House Conference Center and the Council on Environmental Quality, home to two of the busiest meeting spaces. The White House can’t say who attended meetings there, or how often. The Secret Service doesn’t log in visitors or require a background check the way it does at the main gates of the White House.
