Obama's "Lobbyist": Talk About a Conflict of Interest ...
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 11:05 AM
Everyone's talking about McCain's recent lobbyist purges, but few are talking about Obama's top adviser -- who seems to have a major conflict of interest problem -- of his own.

Greg Craig is a senior Obama adviser.  As a lawyer, he also happens to represent the interests of the president of the Panimanian Legislature, Miguel Gonzalez, who, as Jake Tapper notes, is "also under indictment in the U.S. for murdering U.S. Army Sgt. Zak Hernandez in 1992." 

Tapper goes on to add: "... Gonzalez's indictment has complicated passage of the U.S.-Panama Free Trade Agreement."

Here's what the Dallas Morning News had to say about it.

Conflict of Interest
Lewis, by now you should know there is no conflict of interest if you have a "D" after your name.

Tom Daschle's wife
is also a major, major lobbyist yet no one points that out about Obama. Obama is NOT free of lobbyists, however, he continues to get a free pass and the media has YET to call him on anything.

Obama has yet to release his Illinois Senate records, or disclose the blind trust he has.

Is there an updated status on that video of Michelle in Wright's church?
