In campaign news, President Obama is relying on a group of prominent supporters who are active in the lobbying industry to raise millions of dollars for his re-election bid, despite a pledge not to take money from lobbyists. The New York Times reports at least 15 of Obama’s “bundlers” are involved in lobbying for Washington consulting shops or private companies. They have raised more than $5 million so far for the campaign. Bundlers are supporters who contribute their own money to a campaign and solicit it from others. A number of the bundlers have hosted Obama at fundraisers, while also visiting the White House on policy matters and official business. Obama’s bundlers include Sally Susman, who leads Pfizer’s powerful lobbying shop, and David Cohen, who oversees lobbying at Comcast.
