Obama Fundraiser Is a Registered Lobbyist, Gets Thrown under the O'bus!!

Andrew Stiles has the scoop at the Washington Free Beacon:

Former Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.) is an active campaign bundler for President Obama, having raised between $200,000 and $500,000, according to campaign records.
He is also a registered federal lobbyist.
The revelation poses a challenge for President Obama, who has banned registered lobbyists from personally contributing or bundling donations to his campaign. The president even touted these self-imposed restrictions in a Dec. 28, 2011, fundraising e-mail, writing: “We don’t take a dime from D.C. lobbyists or special-interest PACs—never have and never will.”
That email was sent days before Klein filed his paper work to become a “D.C. lobbyist.”

A senior Obama campaign official tells Politico's Glenn Thrush that Klein is "no longer associated with the campaign" and that "the minute he became a lobbyist, he stopped raising money for the campaign." But that was news to Klein, who seemed to have found out through the media that he was thrown under the Obama campaign bus.

Too bad, Ron !! Chickens coming home to roost and all that! You were a "useful Jew", that's all!!
