Political influence in DC is pretty much like an auction. Who can bid the highest?: Russian Oligarchs? America's Russian Mob? Foreign interests? Middle Eastern Potentates?
And NOW, apparently, Mexican Drug cartels have enough cash on hand to play with the big boys. If the Mexican Military is being allowed to make unauthorized incursions onto American Soil without repercussions, then the Cartels must be able to buy their way pretty far up the food chain.

The Cartels don't have enough power to tell Obama what do or where to take this country. and I doubt they ever will have that much power.
My vote is for the Koch brothers. Its brilliant actually. Pit the right hand against the left hand and then profit from the gridlock and chaos as everybody starts gouging away in the ultimate gladiator fight. Obama is doing his real job as the perfect talisman that threatens everything(to get the right worked up) but does nothing (to get the left).
