    Could the reason why Bonhner was such an impediment to stopping obamacare be anymore obvious.

    All he had to do was send over a comprehensive bill in about 12 parts without funding Obamacare and said the budget is passed.
    Now sign it and lets negotiate about Obamacare.

    we must find a way to get these parasites who go from working in govt to working for the lobbying groups... out of govt.

    America's Health Insurance Plans, the health insurance lobby in Washington, D.C., has hired Speaker Boehner’s press secretary, Brendan Buck, as its new spokesperson and vice president of communications.
    Buck was Boehner's press secretary for three years and also served as a press secretary for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) when Mitt Romney chose Ryan as the Republican nominee for vice president.
    In a statement marking Buck’s farewell, Boehner credited him with playing a key role in Republicans' efforts to win back the House of Representatives in 2010.
    “I’ve appreciated his advice, his energetic advocacy, and his wit ... Boehnerland will miss him,” Boehner said.
    AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni praised Buck as an essential resource in the insurance lobby’s communication team.
    “Brendan's experience and skill set will allow him to hit the ground running on day one,” she said. “He's an effective communicator who knows how to tackle complex policy issues and skillfully navigate an ever-changing health care and media environment.”
    Buck previously attacked Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer over revelations about John Boehner's "toll booth" donation extraction scheme, claiming, "This ‘expert’ is utterly clueless about the legislative process and guilty of pathetically sloppy research." Schweizer drew Buck's ire for reporting how "Boehner bagged over $200,000 in donations from executives and companies days prior to holding votes on three bills of critical importance to their industries."
     
  2. It's the same thing with the SEC and other "regulatory groups".

    They put 5-10 years in, make sure they don't piss off the big companies, then get hired by those same companies they were supposed to be "watching".

    My buddy did 10 years at the SEC, now he's head of compliance at a large hedge fund.
    Apparently thats the normal routine at the SEC.
