But I do agree that politicians are simply into choking on lobbying money. The ruling this year on corporations being able to provide limitless, undisclosed source campaign cash changed everything and made it a thousand times worse.

Compared to the last few Prez's Obama's record after 2 years is pretty darn good, especially considering that our Constitution only requires a 51 vote majority in the Senate, but thanks to the GOP and their hundred-plus filibusters the Dems had to get 60 votes on virtually everything that got passed.

Something big is going to happen before the next election - the political process has completely broken down. They need to change the filibuster rules certainly.
