It’s being called the equivalent of a paparazzi gotcha:A snapshot of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his chief political/media adviser David Axelrod — taken in the Senator’s Capitol Hill office!ROLL CALL reports: Congressional ethics rules forbid the use of federal office space for political and campaign activity.
A spokeswoman for the Obama camp declined comment to the paper.
Obama and Axelrod are old buddies whose relationship dates back years and they could have been having an innocuous conversation, one strategist noted. But it does raise some flags, which is the last thing a contender in a competitive race with a polished, practiced vet such as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) wants to do. “It could be seen as a rookie mistake,” the consultant said.
Ian questions if this might have caused Obamas abrupt backing out of the Fox News Democratic primary debate in Detroit.
if this might have caused Obamas abrupt of the Fox News Democratic primary debate in Detroit.My eye caught this:
if this might have caused Obamas abrupt of the Fox News Democratic primary debate in Detroit.:
“Obama is the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus running for President, and his decision allows other candidates to skip the debate without facing criticism that they are turning their backs on a leading black institution,” Smith reports.
Why? They are turning their backs on them.
DailyKos: “Good for Obama. He recognized that a leading black institution was turning its back on its constituents by partnering with Fox News.”
Matt Stoller of MyDD: “Well this is a good sign … I’m going to give $25 to Obama for this. Now we’re waiting on Senator Clinton (and Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich, etc). Both Edwards and Obama were aware of this for some time, and it took courage for them to repudiate Fox News.”
Oh, that’s why!
