During the campaign, candidate Obama promised to “free the executive branch from special interest influence,” but under President Obama virtually the entire executive branch has become a phalanx of staff lobbyists trying to push Obama's expensive healthcare package through Congress. Candidate Obama railed against corporate interests lobbying Congress, and in the aftermath of the TARP legislation Obama backed that has obviously become a serious cause of waste and concern. But government employees lobbying for an additional $1 trillion in government spending — and using taxpayer dollars for the lobbying campaign — is by far a greater concern. thenewamerican.com
