When it comes to health insurance will Obama listen to lobbyists ( Like Daddy's Little Baby who thinks he should reside in the White House) or will he listen to all of the people?
The following quotes are from the story ( In Illinois, Obama dealt with lobbyists by Scott Helman ) at ( The Boston Globe ). Under the title it says. "But as candidate, he faults Clinton for ties."
To quote from page 1, paragraph 2. "Over the next 15 months, insurers and their lobbyists found a sympathetic ear in Obama, who amended the bill more to their liking"
To quote from page 2 of 3 paragraph 3. "Most significant, universal healthcare became merely a policy goal instead of state policy"
To quote from page 3 of 3 paragraph 1. "Still Obama's willingness to hear out insurers and their lobbyists is revealing given the posture he strikes today on the presidential campaign trail - that lobbyists, insurance companies, and other big industry special interests have an outsized and polluting influence on policy-making in Washington."
Read the story ( Obama's Record: The Truth Is Out There, by Steve Rhodes ) at ( The Beachwood Reporter ).
