Obama Ethics Slip

Another Obama ethics slip. Following upon his meeting with his campaign manager in his Senate office, an Obama Senate staffer uses Senate equipment to send political missives.

(Hat tip Taegan Goddard's Political Wire) Newsweek:

Senate ethics rules allow senators with active campaigns to "split" the work time and salary of official schedulers such as Obama's Molly Buford. According to Obama's campaign spokesman, Robert Gibbs, she in fact is paid by both entities. But Senate rules and federal law forbid the use of official equipment—such as faxes and phone lines—to conduct campaign business, which was what Buford was doing last Thursday when she faxed Obama's political "call list" to the senator's personal aide at a Columbia, S.C., hotel.

And then there's the Rezko run of corruption. Rezko is a close, personal friend of Barack's.
