10. "I noted in the Huffpo comments they seemed to blame Obama for all of this."

It's strange being that It was a "Republican sponsored forum."

"The event was a Republican sponsored forum that was billed by it's sponsor Congressman Tim Scott (R-SC) as an "an event for job creators and entrepreneurs from his district."

".......names of lobbyists from PhRMA (the pharmaceutical industry’s massive trade association), Koch Industries, and many, many DC-area law firms. We even spotted some of the most prominent influence peddlers on Capitol Hill, including Sean O’Hollaren, Honeywell’s chief lobbyist, who was walking around the room, greeting congressmen as they entered. Lynn Liddle, a “vice president of legislative affairs” for Domino’s Pizza corporation, was seen in the front of the room. “Legislative affairs” is corporate-speak for lobbyist."

"I guess lobbyists and lawyers are now considered "job creators".
