"The executive director of an Illinois ethics watchdog group calls it politics as usual. "Did he get contributions from those companies down the line? Yeah. That story's been told a million times in American politics, and it will be told a million times more," said Jay Stewart of the Illinois-based Better Government Association. "I don't think Obama's any different." I wouldn't have expected him to be different in this area- because I don't think you can be elected and be different in this area. So I'm fine with it. If you hate Obama it will be an issue; if you don't, it won't be. I'm sure McCain has the same financing issues in his background- goodness knows there's plenty of this stuff to go around.
