2009 Was A Good Year For Lobbyists

And Obama was supposed to be of, by, and for the people?

K Street’s top 25 firms cashed in on the aggressive legislative agenda unleashed by the new president and bigger Democratic majorities in Congress in 2009 to post double-digit growth of about 10 percent over the previous year.

Despite economic uncertainty and the promise by the Obama administration to clamp down on the influence industry, the majority of top lobbying firms posted higher numbers in 2009, with 11 firms showing dramatic growth.

Looks like while working Americans are struggling, Obama is helping lobbyists cash in.
