Obama Appoints Lobbyist as Senior Policy Adviser
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 9:53 AM
The Obama campaign just appointed
Daniel Shapiro as a senior advisor and Jewish outreach coordinator to the campaign. Interestingly, Shapiro
is also a lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute This, of course, is only interesting because of the appearance of hypocrisy. Obama has touted the fact that he will not accept money from lobbyists -- because he does not want to be influenced by them as president. Clearly, though, he has not banned lobbyists from providing advice and endorsements...
Update: A reader points out thatDaniel
Kurtzer’s (another Obama foreign policy adviser) trip to Syria was
paid for by an oil company, , as well.
