clipped from www.powerlineblog.com Michael Barone locates Barack Obama squarely in the brass-knuckle Chicago style of politics: That's governance, Chicago style. The head of government is friends with the heads of every big business, lobby and union, and together they make decisions on how everyone else will live. Those on the inside get what they want. Those on the outside -- well, they get what the big guys want them to have. That's life in the big city. ... [I]t appears to be the way that Barack Obama, who once aspired to be mayor of Chicago, has decided to run his administration. We can see that nowhere better than on the health care issue. Over the spring and summer, the White House door has been wide open to lobbyists from health care businesses. The doctors' lobby has gotten promises that physician payments won't be knocked down too much. In return, they are expected to lobby for whatever bill the congressional Democrats come up with.
