Leaders of the National Corn Growers Association and the Renewable Fuels Association, for instance, came to help cut the ribbon - and so did Senator Barack Obama.<A title="0623 11" href="http://www.commondreams.org/archive/wp-content/photos/0623_11.jpg"><IMG width="400" vspace="10" hspace="10" height="225" border="0" align="right" alt="0623 11" src="http://www.commondreams.org/archive/wp-content/photos/0623_11.jpg" /></A></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/06/23/9838/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.commondreams.org/img/F6FA0CE5-312B-411D-940F-AFB7D12DA958" alt="0623 11" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/06/23/9838/"><P>Mr. Obama is running as a reformer who is seeking to reduce the influence of special interests. But like any other politician, he has powerful constituencies that help shape his views.
