Chronicle's Obama Fund Raiser List Incomplete: Here's the Rest of the Information

The Houston Chronicle listed the corporate affiliations of every one of John McCain's Texas fundraisers, but note that the Obama camp failed to provide the same information on those in their camp.

I am certain this was a simple oversight on their part (ahem) so, lest they appear too far into Barack Obama's camp, I thought it would be nice if I helped the Chronicle by filling in the blanks.

Now, that's better. We wouldn't want "unwarranted" charges of bias to be leveled at the Houston Chronicle, that bastion of "objective" journalism, simply because they lacked the will to research those in Obama's bundling circle.

I am certain that they were not trying to hide anything. As I stated earlier, merely an oversight.

After all, fair is fair.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
