Mark Penn is becoming Obama's greatest asset.

Mark Penn Tied To Controversial Nuclear Firm

Even as Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign was blasting Sen. Barack Obama for his ties to the Exelon Corporation, the firm of Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, was earning hundreds of thousands of dollars from the very same nuclear energy giant.

This past week, Burson Marsteller, Penn's powerhouse consulting agency, was paid more than $230,000 by Exelon to help renew a nuclear energy license in New Jersey, the Huffington Post has learned. The payment was for work that took place over several months, and Burson is still employed by the company

iT has been public knowledge that Exelon is a client of Burson. But news of the recent payment comes less than two weeks after the Clinton campaign, and Penn himself, took Obama to task for what they implied was preferential treatment for the company.

Further, according to the New York Times article below, Sen. Clinton supported the same legislation---and Obama introduced the bill, which was changed in order to get Republicans to vote for it.

5. The Clintons are pathological liars!

And, unlike Obama, they have actually hurt millions of Americans with NAFTA, DOMA, DADT, not to mention the genocide they brought this hemisphere with Plan Colombia and School of the Americas.

It's impossible to take you seriously when you see no humanity in your opposition.
