Obama Not Above Political Manipulation After All

That's because "where you stand" is in Obama's pocket.



And your memory is short (and what's with this "Republican 'Christian Right'" distinction?).



In 2003, Republicans paid homage to Big Insurance & PhRma (and had Democrats joining them) with the Medicare Reform Act. That was an $800 billion giveaway.



Normal people would have thought, "Well, that'll set them up for a generation, they've gotten their pay-offs along with the defense contractors and energy firms".



But we're not in normal times.



Obama and Democrats had to pay off Big Insurance & PhRma on their own after the 2008 election, and went Republicans even bigger. Obama was the biggest recipient of insurance/hospital/PhRma money of all of the candidates. Hillary was the second biggest recipient.
