Barack Obama said he is against lobbyists then I have a good question for him.
Why did you pick Sen. Joe Biden as your running mate who has a son that is a lobbyist? I sure would like to hear your answer!
Here is an an article below.

Sen. Obama you say you want to change Washington… To what??
Or is it that change is all we will have after your tax increases and no lobbying reform?
The American people really want to know!

Kids of Candidates are Off limits Execpt........
DavidS1787 (Diary) Saturday, September 20th at 9:05PM EDT (link)when they come into the political eye like Joe Biden’s one son R. Hunter Biden.
I wonder if you even read the article? If not go back you might just see how being a lobbyists on Capital Hill and being a son of a Senator how he benefitted!
Second Obama said he wanted to change the way Washington is run and wants to get rid of the lobbyists. So Obama made it an issue.
Remember he preached this to his supporters.
Minor children of candidates are off limits.
mbecker908 (Diary) Saturday, September 20th at 9:11PM EDT (link)Adult children of candidates are off limits EXCEPT when:
R Hunter is a lobbyist, in all likelihood he used his father’s connections to advance his business interests. At the very least it deserves a close and dispassionate look. Do I think R Hunter did anything wrong? Probably not. Do I think Pappa Joe would twist arms past the breaking point for his kid? Absolutely.

If YOU were to run for office, any level, would YOU be comfortable being judged at that office by your family?!
Personally, to most liberals; to most foreigners; to most neighbors; to my bretheren; my answer is simple-YES.
I’d take that challenge.
Are you kidding with this no kids stuff?

She was treated fine.
clacourr Saturday, September 20th at 9:20PM EDT (link)There wasn’t any horrible treatment of her.

OccamsRazor (Diary) Saturday, September 20th at 9:22PM EDT (link)Again, to you: an imaginary game:
Imagine you are the mother of a 13 year old daughter post Clinton adminitration.
Is *that* why your colleagues are going around suggesting that Palin's grandchild is incestuous?

How was she treated?

itrytobenice (Diary) Sunday, September 21st at 12:24AM EDT (link)Children are not off limits when there is at least the potential that Candidate Daddy has used his position in the gov’t to enrich his progeny at the taxpayer’s expense.
I don’t think we should go looking into the kids’ personal lives, but their professional lives, especially as to how they relate to my taxes is definitely not off limits.
Proper grammar saves lives.

Let’s eat, Grandma.
I don't see a win here.
NightTwister (Diary) Sunday, September 21st at 9:53AM EDT (link)It’s just going to look like we’re going after a candidate’s kid. It doesn’t matter that he’s an adult. It doesn’t matter that he’s benefited financially from his father’s political connections. Family members always benefit here (not that it’s right).
