Obama’s Parking Tickets: BFD or Character Flaw?
March 9, 2007 on 2:18 am | In obama, HLS, Parking tickets, ethics | No CommentsI was underwhelmed by Thursday’s Boston Globe (reg) article that revealed Obama’s 17-year delay in paying his law school Cambridge parking tickets. Big deal. Then I stumbled across the thoughts of A Proud Infidel:
Upon reading this article all that came to mind was “How Clinton of him”. Everything is an oversight until the political microscope comes out looking for some dirt before a significant election. What does this say about Obama’s character?
Meanwhile, the Cambridge parking director has nothing but kind words for the former delinquent:
“I think it’s fabulous he finally paid them,” Susan Clippinger told the Boston Globe of the presidential candidate’s reckoning with the parking office of $375 in fines and fees. “I think others who owe us money should pay us, too.”
