Obama fundraisers have deep ties to lobbyists
President Obama has long talked up his pledge not to accept campaign contributions from lobbyists as a sign that he's serious about ethics reform in Washington. But that hasn't stopped his 2012 campaign from recruiting individuals with strong ties to the lobbying industry to raise cash for his re-election effort.
The New York Times' Eric Lichtblau reports that the Obama campaign is working with at least 15 "bundlers" who are linked to the lobbying industry. This group of lobbying-affiliated fundraisers--who work either working for private consulting firms or corporations--have raised more than $5 million for the campaign.
