The McCain Seven on Obama's new website
Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 12:15 PM by Undercurrent
Our Obama team's new website:

The McCain Seven

John McCain has had at least 159 lobbyists running his campaign and raising money for him. The McCain Seven—all lobbyists—control the campaign filling roles from senior foreign policy advisor and finance co-chair all the way up to head of command, campaign manager. The McCain Seven make sure special interests come first.

The Issues - What does this mean for you?

What does a lobbyist controlled McCain-Palin ticket mean for you? It means lobbyists come first. On jobs, health care, energy, America’s standing in the world — lobbyists pay big bucks to make sure their special interests come first. And time and time again, McCain has given lobbyists what they paid for.
On Jobs

McCain’s top dog, campaign manager Rick Davis, helped pave the way for job losses in Ohio — putting the interests of his former lobbyist client, Airborne Express, above yours. Read More
On Energy

Senior Campaign Advisor Charlie Black lobbied for Big Oil for eight years. McCain’s tax plan would save Big Oil $4 billion. Lucky coincidence? Or planned convenience? Read More
On Health Care

Employed at the top of the McCain campaign are former lobbyists John Green and Wayne Blank who have put the interests of health insurance and pharmaceutical companies above yours. Read More
On America's Standing in the World

Senior Foreign Policy Advisor, Randy Scheunemann pocketed $2.6 million lobbying McCain on Soviet interests while on McCain’s staff. That’s not country first. Read More

4. Spending a little on this site,
and found things I didn't know. Great detailed info in these Repug slugs!

The only problem is that loading the front page has slowed to a crawl. Guess they need to upgrade their server capacity.

Of course, they'll need to explain to the public, that many of these high up campaign staff would become the staff in a McCain administration.
