Bottom-Feeders In The DC Cesspool

One good thing about having Obama as president (and the only one) is that regular people are learning exactly what happens in the campaigns and the legislative efforts that they have been supporting over the years, previously coded as clever buzz phrases.

Collectively described as the "consultant class," DC firms vie for lucrative contracts and label themselves as "strategists" or "consultants" when the word, "lobbyist" is a dirty word.

Company or group A needs to bend the ear of Congressmen D, G, and N, so they hire lobbyist 7, 4, 2, and 9 of firm XYZ to make it happen.

It's all perfectly legal, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exacerbate the distrust of DC by the American people.
