Here's a few to select from.....
President Obama and key members of his Democrat cabinet like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, and UN Ambassador Susan Rice were all among the top ten most corrupt politicians in Washington for 2012, according to an annual list compiled by the non-partisan Judicial Watch. Also on the roster were several lawmakers including two GOP congressmen from Florida and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada).
The president himself made the infamous “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” list due to a series of scandals and broken promises that have plagued virtually his entire time occupying the White House. Lawless behavior, regular violations of the U.S. Constitution, unprecedented secrecy, and abuse of so-called “executive privilege” to protect his senior officials all contributed to Obama’s designation as one of the most crooked politicians in the capital today.

Anybody else get the feeling that the two parties are in cahoots with each other in order to advance one agenda and keep the sheeple divided ?

I personally think the TPP is a red herring for something far worse.
We're being worked up into a frenzy over the TPP, and congress is going to pretend to pander to the people. We all know based on the numbers that congress votes how the corporations and the 1% elite want.
The TPP is a smokescreen I think, the real stuff will be passed in tiny little chunks here and there without the people knowing. I bet they'll take the TPP and cut it up into 1,000 pieces and sneak those bits in on appropriations bills and whatnot when no one is looking. Over the course of a few years all the parts of the TPP will have passed and be in place, and BOOM we'll be none the wiser.
That's how you get unpopular legislation passed -- take it apart, sneak it through, re-assemble once it's enacted.

I would guess 80% or more of government contracts are granted to friends and family. They don't want some of your money, they want it all.
Nepotism.
We need the NSA to spy on our government and leave the people alone.

Then how was the OP personally affected by Bush? Did he own an opposing company to Haliburton?
It is nearly impossible to measure how one is affected by the President alone, since there are so many factors involved in government, finance, education, etc. I will tell you this, I watched health insurance rates skyrocket right after the passing of Obamacare. It is now more than just a small deduction out of my paycheck. It's now more like two car payments.
And then TPP will probably affect us, but it's hard to relate that back to the President. If we lose a job, one might blame the company first. After NAFTA passed, I watched factory after factory close down and move to Mexico. I was living in Kentucky at the time, and decided making money off of factories in the southern midwest was going to be a bad idea. So I up and left for NY to pursue a dream or two.

Reading through the thread and seeing some of the replies, I feel as though I should change my initial reply.
Obama's most corrupt act is that he is just too darned awesome!
People just don't "get" how awesome and wonderful he really is!
If he were a super-hero he'd be. . . what am I saying.
He's already a superhero!
*sigh*
(he's just so dreamy)
