88. Money...........

lobbyists from the health care industry invest lots of money for access to our government leaders, and they expect a return on their investment. Just like the banking industry, they paid for access and demand it when they want it. Until there is honest campaign finance reform this will be standard operating procedure in Washington. Anyone who thought Obama was different in this respect - that he wouldn't give lobbyists their money's worth - was quite naive.
Hope and change: we hoped they'd change, but obviously they haven't. :shrug:
