They held a fund-raiser one night where lobbyists were not invited. “Due to Barack Obama's ban on donations from lobbyists, there were no lobbyist contributors at a Thursday night fundraising dinner for congressional Democrats headlined by the president. But Friday morning was a different story. Democrats organized a $5,000-per-person Friday morning Issues Conference at the same Washington, D.C., hotel where the previous night's dinner was held, and let lobbyists know that their presence — and their contributions — would be warmly welcomed.” How they got around that is that Obama did not speak at the morning meeting. This is the kind of “Chicago thug” politics we can expect for at least the next four years. (News Max)
