Obama Campaign Statement on John McCain and Rick Davis - Did other special interests buy access?

“It is now clear that both John McCain and Rick Davis did not tell the truth about Davis’s continuing financial relationship with Freddie Mac, one of the actors at the center of this financial crisis. It’s troubling not only that Davis’s firm—with which he is still associated and which the McCain campaign paid directly last year—continued to be compensated by Freddie Mac until as recently as last month, but that the firm did little work and apparently was being paid simply to provide access to the McCain campaign," says communications director Dan Pfeiffer. “The question that now needs to be answered is this: did Freddie Mac or any other special interests buy access to John McCain by compensating top officials, including Rick Davis?”

McCain's campaign cannot possibly answer this directly. They will probably just try to attack Obama and the media and ignore the whole thing, but this is pretty damning.

I guess YES! The McShame campaign is so tightly wound up in lobbying and the finance world it is a wonder he can breathe. Maybe it's the lack of oxygen that makes him say such stupid things.

and Obama's running the best.

Really, the rhetoric from each camp seems like a Globetrotter/Generals game.

Obama is going to take McCrap to school.

I wish I knew you two's posting history better...

Its who gives the money to them.

This is gonna be good... :bounce:

Remember how much we heard about Rev Wright? Well that was 10x as much and this is 10x more substantive!
