Obama goes after McCain at townhall today:
"We need a president who sees government not as a tool to enrich friends and high-priced lobbyists, but as the defender of fairness and opportunity for every American," Obama said at a town hall meeting here.
Isn't that a little rich, considering the source:
Senator Barack Obama on Thursday released a list of $740 million in earmarked spending requests that he had made over the last three years, and his campaign challenged Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to do the same. The list included $1 million for a hospital where Mr. Obama's wife works, money for several projects linked to campaign donors and support for more than 200 towns, civic institutions and universities in Illinois.
Tell me again, who's using government to enrich friends, family, and campaign donors?
