“John McCain’s top foreign policy adviser lobbied for, and has a vested interest in, the Republic of Georgia, and McCain has mirrored the position advocated by the government,” said Hari Sevugan, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, who added that the “appearance of a conflict of interest” was a consequence of McCain’s close ties to lobbyists.
Mr. Salter, of the McCain campaign, dismissed the criticism. “In the middle of an international crisis, in which people are getting killed,” he said, “the best the Obama campaign can come up with is to cast aspersions on a McCain staffer.”
Mr. Salter acknowledged that Mr. Scheunemann had lobbied for Georgia, but said that Mr. McCain “has been involved in the efforts of former Soviet Republics to embrace democracy and free market values since the end of the Cold War.”
Are these the same "values" that led to the mortgage crisis?
