Obama sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for clients of the lobbyist son of his Democratic running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, records show. Obama succeeded in getting $192,000


The younger Biden started his career as a lobbyist in 2001 and has registered to represent about 21 clients that have brought in $3.5 million to his Washington firm, according to lobbying disclosure forms.

Sen. Biden has collected more than $6.9 million in campaign contributions from lobbyists and lawyers since 1989, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Wow 192,000 and Biden has received over 6.9 million SINCE 1989. What an EXCESSIVE amount for almost 20 yrs. Did you also know that at least according to the reports I have seen, that Biden is the poorest Senator in Congress??

That is scary! Him and Obama both needing to get fattened up? You know it cost more to fatten a skinny cow than to keep a fat one fat. :)

But is nice to see someone take care of their children first though, seeing how Biden and Obama made sure Biden's son the lobbyist get fat!

Senators should be poor...actually should get no pay. Maybe HE just doesn't know how to handle money. Certainly doesn't give it to charity. Maybe living over his head?? Got a subprime loan coming due?? :D
