Obama Disinvites "Lobbyist" Max Cleland
Cleland is registered to lobby for a company whose products are aimed at helping soldiers recover more quickly from battlefield industries, Tissue Regeneration Technologies.“Sen. Cleland is definitely not doing lobbying work. He gives speeches and campaigns for a few friends, but mostly he’s spending his time taking care of his father," said Cleland advisor John Marshall, who said that Tissue Regeneration Technologies was the only company on whose behalf he lobbies.
You know, when you figure all the principles Obama has caved on, you'd think he might make an exception for a man who lost a third of his body while serving in Vietnam (non-combat injury or no). Cleland was practically Kerry's mascot in 2004; the way the Democrats wheel him out or push him around for their own convenience is shameful. Certainly, Obama's not the sort to stand on principle, but couldn't he have just taken one more flipflop and made an exception for Cleland?
