Democratic in-fighting continues, today, as Barack “Bomb Pakistan” Obama criticizes Hillary “Pantsuit” Clinton for her acceptance of lobbysists.

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama criticized chief rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday, contending that candidates who are comfortable with the role of lobbyists in this country have been in Washington too long.

Obama pointed to Saturday’s bloggers forum in Chicago where he touted his promise not to take money from lobbyists. Clinton argued at the event that taking money from lobbyists was acceptable because they represented real people and real interests.

Obama declined to use Clinton’s name, though he told the AP, “I profoundly disagree with her statements.”

“If lobbyists for well-heeled interests in Washington are setting the agenda on the farm bill, in the energy bill, on health care legislation and if we can’t overcome the power of those lobbyists then we’re not going to get serious reform in any of those areas,” he said. “That doesn’t mean they don’t have a seat at the table. We just don’t want them buying every chair.”

Of course, Obama’s a hypocrite, having accepted lobbyist money himself.

Obama has taken money from lobbyists registered in his home state of Illinois, some of whom have federal interests. When lobbyists registered in Washington have given money to his campaign, he has returned it.

And The Hill reported:

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is benefiting from the support of well-connected Washington lobbyists even though he has prohibited his campaign from accepting contributions from them and political action committees (PACs).

While Obama has decried the influence of special interests in Washington, the reality is that many of the most talented and experienced political operatives in his party are lobbyists, and he needs their help.

Mike Williams, the director of government relations at Credit Suisse Securities, said of the network of lobbyists supporting Obama: “I would imagine that it’s as large as the Clinton list,” in reference to rival presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), who is an entrenched favorite of the Washington Democratic establishment.

Meanwhile, Silky Pony is criticizing Bubba, saying he allowed corporation to shape the 1993 NAFTA.

Democratic presidential contender John Edwards on Monday criticized former President Clinton, arguing that he allowed corporate insiders to shape the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement that has cost U.S. jobs.

Edwards’ complaints about the former president beloved by voters in his own party was a defiant move meant to highlight rival Hillary Rodham Clinton’s relationship with special interests. It comes two days after Clinton refused Edwards’ challenge to stop taking campaign donations from lobbyists, saying many represent good causes.

“It’s time that the president stood up and fought for American workers,” Edwards told a crowd of about 300 people at a union hall in Cedar Rapids. “It’s time to have a president that always puts the interests of the American people first.”

Ironic, considering Edwards worked at, and profited from, hedge funds, whose sole goal is making the rich, richer.
