Obama and special interest: Why curry favor if you don’t expect to get it?

Obama ran on a promise and a claim that he would be and was immune to special interest. In yet another indication that was yet another bold faced lie, we have this from the Comcast CEO:

Comcast-NBC Deal: Does the Merger’s Approval Rest on Health Care?

From the posting:

“So Roberts’ heartfelt letter to the president in support of the Democrats’ singular policy issue was the first action he took in what is expected to be a twelve-month regulatory review process. This is an action with absolutely no relevance to the vast intricacies of the merger, but a move that sets a new standard for blatant pandering aimed at a group of people for whom pandering is the new coin of the realm.”

If Obama is Mr. Teflon when it comes to special interest, why bother with this?
