Your point is what? Are you implying that Obama's promotion of healthcare reform has something to do with these special interest lobbyists? If so, exactly how?
But Jadex, none of his shady past matters any more. He's a good man, he's black, he's a good orator, and he's a Nobel Laureate. What more could you ask for from a President? Surely he's forgotten about all that healthcare lobbyist money that was thrown at him by now. No favor's from this man whatsoever. Those lobbyists are evil! He's clean as a whistle. There are no skeletons in his closet at all. And the best part, he's not a liar. Obama is here to save us all.
At least that's the way his loyal followers see it. Thankfully, I can't relate to the lowest common denominator crowd (ie. Obamatrons).
Thanks for posting. This reiterates just how phony Barack Obama is.

Do you believe that when a lobbyist donates to a candidate's campaign, that the candidate owes that special interest group a favor? Are not these donations voluntary? Should Obama pander to any special interest group that donated to his campaign even at the detriment of our country?
Did Bush return favors to the special interest groups that donated to his campaign? If so, what was the effect of that on our country today?

If you a seriously asking this question you really need to pull your head from the sand. If you are being sarcastic... Thank you.

Do you understand what the term "lobbyist" means exactly? I'd implore you to look up the term, and then re-read your question.
Frankly, I'm wondering what the blogger based her assertions on. The opensecrets website she cites doesn't support her contentions at all. This is it's breakdown of Obama's fundraising efforts.

A quote from the OP's provided link:
Quote:
The Health lobbying sector, which includes Health Professionals, Hospitals/Nursing Homes, Pharmaceuticals and Health Insurance
.
How are campaign donations from these lobbying sectors influencing the healthcare reform that Obama is pushing? For example; what is Obama doing to pay back the health insurance industry?
Again, do elected candidates owe favors to special interest groups that voluntarily donated to their campaign, even at the detriment of our country?

Did you click the link that she cited? I opened it up, scrolled down to Barack Obama, and saw the $$$ figure she cited quite clearly.
