It is very funny when liberal decry those they think are responsible for the worlds problems
According to Obama, if you speak out against liberal policies, run a company (that hires people BTW) or lobby politicans to support your positions - you are now a target should Obama become President

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – It could be Barack Obama’s "axis of evil": lobbyists, political action committees and corporations.
In speech after speech, hundreds of miles from Washington (the axis’ base of operations), Obama these days portrays the trio as a scourge, blocking progress on health care, energy and prescription drug policy. So if elected, Obama says, he would negotiate an insurance plan on C-SPAN, disclose meetings between political appointees and lobbyists, and restrict their employment in his White House.
“The days of corporate lobbyists setting the agenda in Washington are over,” Obama said at a rally here.
Across Iowa, the line elicits a response akin to a Broadway encore. Men yelp with excitement. Women thrust their Obama signs into the air. Applause rolls through the crowd, often hitting its highest decibels of the night.
Obama knows it, and is giving the anti-special interest platform a more dominant role in his closing arguments of the Iowa caucus campaign.
During a five-day bus tour that ended Tuesday, Obama added a section to his stump speech detailing his work on the issue, and voters at almost every stop railed against lobbyists – an uptick noted by his aides.
The heightened focus reflects recent polls showing voters more interested in a “new direction and new ideas” than experience. The dynamic has left all three major Democratic candidates in Iowa fighting for the advantage.
