ollowing up on a post last week about B.O.’s sweetheart mortgage deal - in which Mr. New Way of Doing Things succumbed to that age-old sin of seeking personal benefit from public power - Judicial Watch has moved the ball forward:

The conservative public-interest group Judicial Watch today filed ethics complaints alleging that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, broke the rules when he accepted a discounted deal on a 2005 mortgage loan, as first reported last week by The Post.

“Americans ought to be suspicious when a United States Senator such as Barack Obama, obtains a sweetheart mortgage deal,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “We have serious concerns that Senator Obama’s mortgage may have violated the law and Senate ethics rules.” The group filed separate complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee. (WaPo)

Here’s Judicial Watch’s news release.

The group must be loving the Obama campaign. As you may recall, it was a perpetual thorn in Bill Clinton’s side. More power to them for keeping up the pressure on Dems who think they’re above the law … or in this case, above you and me.

« The Bumbling Mr. Obama | NanPo: “9% Favorability Is Not Bad Enough!” »

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
