Obama decries 'politics as a business'

If he is as "brilliant" as some say he is then SURELY he recognizes the monumental irony of HIM decrying "politics as business", right?

Politics is the only "business" this man has EVER engaged in.

If politics are a business, then Obama is only qualified enough to work in the mailroom.

But there's also a tradition where people view politics as a business.

How much money did your campaign bring in, Senator?

What is supposed to be public service is instead a quest for wealth and power. Term limits, now and forever!

Blago was just asking for pay-to-play favors similar to those Obambi’s wife got, while the messiah oversaw a key IL Senate committee (cushy corp. board appointment, hospital admin. job with 100k + salary that tripled after the hospital received gov’t grants). The only difference is that Blago got caught.
