Are There Grounds for a Complaint Against Obama?
Q: I do not believe that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is ready to be president. While I blog about this constantly, my readership is limited so I am looking for other ways to impact the election. I know that watchdog groups sometimes file ethics complaints against Senators who engage in misconduct, and I am considering filing one against Obama. I think that there a number of potential grounds. Most notably, Obama proposed an earmark for University of Chicago Hospitals after they promoted his wife and tripled her salary. In addition, Obama has filed several false financial disclosure forms — the same offense for which Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) has been indicted. Aren’t these grounds for ethics complaints?
