PolitiFact | McCain proposed bill that didn't pass

"Ten years ago, John McCain offered a bill that said he would ban a candidate from paying registered lobbyists," Obama said. "He did this because he said that having lobbyists on your campaign was a conflict of interest. This is what he said 10 years ago. Well, I'll tell you John McCain then would be pretty disappointed with John McCain now, because he hired some of the biggest lobbyists in Washington to run his campaign. And when he was called on it, his top lobbyist had the nerve to say that the American people won't care about this."

(We checked the statement about McCain hiring "some of the biggest lobbyists in Washington to run his campaign" and ruled it True. Also, we ruled it True that McCain's top lobbyist did have "the nerve to say that the American people won't care about this.")

Interesting.

He probably won't remember having done such thing and McCainiacs will claim that he had an 'evolution in thought'.

You know where I can get a list of his town hall meetings? If he's ever in the area (Since California is such a swing state,)I might just stop by.

Yep, he'll just play the Reaganitis card. "I don't recall..."

yeah but in Reagan's case it was real because he had old-people retardation and generally didn't actually make any decisions if he find someway to let someone else do it

Do you think McCain would be any different? Maybe that's why he can't keep his positions straight.

No, unfortunately he's a pretty hands-on maniac.
