Cleland Not Good Enough For Obama

Ben Smith's Blog: Obama disinvited 'lobbyist' Cleland - Politico.com: "Obama disinvited 'lobbyist' Cleland

Former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland was an icon of Sen. John Kerry’s 2004 campaign, a badly wounded war hero who lost his seat, Kerry deplored, after a television advertising campaign questioned his commitment to national security..."

Cleland is lobbying for a company that specializes in treating battlefield injuries. Obama will not take money from the right hand of an industry lobby, but apparently has no problem taking it from the left hand of an employee of an industry lobby.
