As a state senator, Obama CAVED to the lobbyists when Illinois was trying to pass legislation providing health insurance for ALL Illinois residents. Obama listened to the lobbyists and WATERED DOWN the
legislation and REDUCED the number of Illinois residents that were protected with health insurance.

If you want to know what someone one WILL do, look at his record to see what he has DONE. Obama caved to the healthcare LOBBYISTS in Illinois.

Obama's campaign CO-CHAIRMAN in New Hampshire, Jim Demers, is a state-based LOBBYIST whose clients include PHARMACEUTICAL companies.
