>>I thought the story was useful because it gives an example of how politicians privately raise money from sources that they publicly condemn and criticize, thus exposing the hypocrisy that is too often their stock-in-trade.<< BP - I thought the Newsday story was a bit slanted, just in the use of phrases like "quietly slipped", and in bringing up Jack Abramoff, who at this point is not relevant to a discussion of Greenberg Traurig. But it's interesting that you read the article as saying that Obama takes money from lobbyists, since it does make it clear that no registered lobbyists were among the Greenberg contributors. The Hot Air post, of course, completely ignores that aspect of things, and just goes for the jugular with out of context information and innuendo. - Allen
