It is interesting to note Clinton’s criticism on Obama naiveté, particularly when it comes to special interests. After all Clinton know very well about special interests, her ties to some of them are well documented…
As a side note I have to say that the repeat mention of limiting access of special interest to decision making every election season is more than annoying. We build a government that is over involved and with extreme ability to influence almost every aspect of our life, but we want to somehow protect its innocence by limiting the freedom of speech of interested parties? It is rather peculiar that the limits are mostly set on those who might petition the government instead of the politicians. One damn good solution is to limits the areas which the government, and politicians, can award favors. But this is much to much to ask, mostly during election.
