The Occasional Observer

Obama claims he was "unaware" of potential conflicts of interest resulting from his stock ownership. As we all know, this is a completely unacceptable excuse. Democrats and the media were adamant that the presence of such a conflict required them to obstruct the confirmation of Judge Boyle to the 4th Circuit. Judge Boyle's explanation that he was unaware of the conflicts were dismissed out of hand (despite the fact that his protestations were completely plausible, based on the circumstances).

Let's see if Sen. Reid and Sen. Leahy denounce Sen. Obama, or choose hypocrisy instead.
