A bit over the top, there, DF. Obama’s agenda has been stalled by D’s, by and large, rather than R’s. And it is because of fear of doing the right thing versus lobbyist threats to potential opponents in their next election cycle and special interest dollars to those R’s.

It’s institutional inertia in DC, and it is totally money driven. Nothing is related to the Social Contract anymore, and it is a cancer in the land.

I think the D.C. crowd is not motivated so much by money, but by Power. If they were truly driven purely by money, things would work much better IMHO.
