An excellent post by Say Anything. Democrats are making a big deal about employees in the oil industry, Exxon specifically, donating to John McCain. That apparently indicates that McCain is in the pocket of big oil, hence his support for expanded oil drilling and corporate tax cuts. So if it’s bad for McCain to take money from Exxon employees, why isn’t it just as bad for Obama to do the same?

Democrats point to the $55,000 that McCain has received from Exxon employees and political committees. But when Rob of Say Anything did an FEC search, he found that Obama was the recipient of $10,900 worth of donations from Exxon executives, employees, and political committees.

If taking money from oil companies makes you evil, isn’t Barack Obama just as evil? Or is there a double-standard when it comes to the Messiah?
