Lets start with….

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's push for a national health care overhaul is providing a financial windfall in the election offseason to Democratic consulting firms that are closely connected to the president and two top advisers.

Coalitions of interest groups running at least $24 million in pro-overhaul ads hired GMMB, which worked for Obama's 2008 campaign and whose partners include a top Obama campaign strategist. They also hired AKPD Message and Media, which was founded by David Axelrod, a top adviser to Obama's campaign and now to the White House. AKPD did work for Obama's campaign, and Axelrod's son Michael and Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe work there.

Oh, is this a conflict of interest?  Who cares, it involves a democrat.

Lets not forget Mr. Hope and Change talking down Washington lobbyists!

“If there is any doubt that President Barack Obama’s plan to overhaul U.S. health care is the hottest topic in Congress, just ask the 3,300 lobbyists who have lined up to work on the issue.

That’s six lobbyists for each of the 535 members of the House and Senate, according to Senate records, and three times the number of people registered to lobby on defense. More than 1,500 organizations have health-care lobbyists, and about three more are signing up each day. Every one of the 10 biggest lobbying firms by revenue is involved in an effort that could affect 17 percent of the U.S. economy.”

Pro administration lobbyists are to be termed as "supporters of hope and change". Only lobbyists against the administration will be called "lobbyists" and preferably "mob inciters" or "agents against change". ID you're going on the list.

If you like that, you'll love George Soros getting richer over the Petrobras (drilling for oil off Brazil's coast) deal. Apparently, Obama doesn't have a problem with other countries tapping their resources, just the US. He must not have any leftist friends in the US oil business to line their pockets. Loan price 2 billion dollars.

Nitro, you will love this. When challenged about loaning the two billion the reply was that the US is NOT loaning any money. The US is just providing CREDIT.

Yeah, silly me... I don't have this newspeak education process down.
