Funny, after reading that article, you find Obama the problem. After
reading that article, I find lobbyists the problem. If we don't get them
in check, we will lose our democracy. The incestuous relationship
between campaign finance and corporate pork, is the biggest threat to our
democracy.

It's a non-partisan issue. Both sides have their hands out, and we have
a Supreme Court that has given First Amendment protections to the money
giving whores, albeit limited protection.

Follow the money:
