your thoughts
Part B is Why do we let them continue this practice?? lol

Big business, community organizations, special interest groups, even the Federal Reserve ALL have lobbyists in Washington to get a little piece of the taxpayer money pie.

Barack Obama is the last person on earth who will "shake them down and level the playing field"
He got to where he is because of special interest groups.

 

[Resistance]

Obama said he would not have any lobbyists in his administration. He changed his mind once elected. It is business as usual. Washington is full of lobbyists, especially now that they are throwing trillions of dollars around. Just face it with the amount of influence corporate lobbyists have over our government it has become similar to a fascist regime.

You're right. We can't do a thing, because we have no power.
Besides, Obama won't do shiz about this.

 

[answerman ownz you]

Its been this way for a long time. How is it that you are just now noticing this?

 

[danandhil4ever]

He did shake them down and reduce their power. The problem is he took all of us with 'em.

 

[OldTimey]

At this very minute, their are more lobbyists in the sacred halls than politicians. Another empty promise by an empty suit.
