Policy insiders and Washington special interests dominated the talk at the Fiscal Responsibility Summit at the White House on Monday

So much for keeping the special interests at bay.
For all the talk about reforming government, the bulk of the guests at Monday's Fiscal Responsibility Summit are from groups with clear investments in the Obama administration.
Aside from the 64 representatives from the Obama administration and Congress, a sampling of the 56 "community leaders and stakeholders" shows that no less than seven union chiefs, 10 organizations advancing racial and ethnic concerns, 10 progressive think tanks and advocacy groups, three universities, three health care associations and at least six interests groups for women, seniors, disabled and gay rights groups were in attendance.
Five conservative think tanks and advocacy groups, three health policy organizations and four business associations along with one law firm specializing in Wall Street mergers, one retirement and financial services fund, a John McCain adviser and a representative from the Congressional Budget Office (formerly a Brookings senior fellow from 2007 to 2009) rounded out the guest list.
No one expects honesty in this Regime, but I thought you might like to review the list of those attending the Summit . Check out anyone on this list, before you trust anything they say.
What became of The Ship of Fools? Now it's A Country of Fools!
