Top Hillary Clinton Advisers and Fundraisers Lobbied Against Obamacare and Dodd-Frank

https://theintercept.com/2016/02/08/hrc-inner-circle-lobbyists/

Hillary Clinton is campaigning as a guardian of President Barack Obama’s progressive policy accomplishments. In recent weeks, she has called the Affordable Care Act “one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the Democratic Party, and of our country,” and promised that she is “going to defend Dodd-Frank” and “defend President Obama for taking on Wall Street.”

Meanwhile, however, Clinton’s campaign has been relying on a team of strategists and fundraisers, many of whom spent much of the last seven years as consultants or lobbyists for business interests working to obstruct Obama’s agenda in those two areas.

... but what does that have to do with the price of cheese in China? The article was written by one Lee Fang. And actually, if you click on the link and read it, even you might be impressed.
