Yes, but has Pres. Obama done anything about special interests since he came to power? Has he even spoke out about any of this nonsense unless it benefits his own party?
In fact, in his election he broke the first promise he made: He will only take public funds for his campaign. Instead, he became the largest recipient of wallstreet political donations in history, and some estimate he'll raise $1 Billion for his re-election.
He has joined in the process, and you could argue has made it far worse, instead of fixing it like he promised he would.
