It is called outreach and dialogue with Lobbyists who represent numerous interests across the political spectrum.

No conversations with industry groups, public interest groups, state/local elected officials, faith based leaders? Why not? You prefer setting policy in a vacuum? |

It is called making back door deals with special interests groups who supported your election and you hope will support you in the next election. It is not about doing the business of the people, for the people. They are pimps.

Relax.....I simply asked you questions to better understand your earlier critical (?) comment in light of the fact that numerous interest groups across the political spectrum, not just bankers, were invited and participated in the conference calls.
So the administration should not be briefing any interest groups? No conversations with industry groups, public interest groups, state/local elected officials, faith based leaders? Why not? You prefer setting policy in a vacuum? Get off the fence and take a stand. Last edited by Redux; 01-30-2010 at 05:19 PM. |

I was pointing out that the Pres looked rather hypocritical.
And your questions are nothing more than absolutes which we both realize aren't applicable in the real world. Now that I think about it, perhaps the one who should "Get off the fence and take a stand. " is the president.

You know damn well he's not a dictator, he can't just make things happen on his own. He has to drum up support for these ideas. And since the public would rather watch American Idol with a bag of heart attack & dip, he has to do it the hard way, by convincing these policy wonks, and power players. This has always been the way it works, you're just not used to seeing it done in the open.

And, IMO, you are still sitting on the fence. Whats wrong with the president/administration officials proving briefings (with a little more detail) to a diverse group of interested organizations following a major policy address? Last edited by Redux; 01-31-2010 at 12:07 AM. |
