Obama has repeatedly claimed that his campaign is responsible to “no one but the people” but as I’ve reported numerous times, it’s a shameless lie.

The more you give, the more higher up you’ll get in the campaign terms of access, which begs the question: What are the advisers saying/promising in return?
