Oops. Looks like the Democrats are speaking out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to special interests.
Consider this statement from the President:
“Tonight, at a time when the pundits said it was no longer possible, we rose above the weight of our politics. We pushed back on the undue influence of special interests.”–Barack Obama, celebrating the House’s passage of ObamaCare, March 21
Then contrast it with reality:
“Gordon Witman of PICO, Richard Kirsch of Health Care for America Now, Robert Hall of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Richard Trumpka, head of the AFL-CIO, Dr. Willarda Edwards of the National (not American) Medical Association, Ari Matusiak of Young Invincibles Want Change.”–from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “guest list for this evening’s historic vote,” San Francisco Chronicle Web site, March 21
Consider it hope and change in action.
