Looks like when Obama began discussing "pigs" and "lipstick", he was much more qualified to speak on the subject of pigs than he acknowledged.

You conservatives (including Fox news) are desperately grasping at straws.

What I don't understand is how a member of congress can get away with receiving campaign contributions directly or indirectly from ANY organization that is dependent upon their own writing or blocking of important legislation. And if, in fact, the congressmen follow up, after receiving these donations by blocking needed legislation, why isn't this considered a quid pro quo? Why is this legal?

Congress has been policing itself.

When you give money to a candidate, do they ask you who your employer is?

I think they are PAC's and LARGE employee donations. These do not look innocent in any way to me. I am concerned when millions have been donated to candidates. It seems like a quid pro quo to me.

The fox is guarding the hen house. Millions of dollars worth of donations do not look innocent to me - especially when the desired result - no interference from regulatory agencies was obtained.

In 2005 and 2006 the Republicans controlled Congress.
