It's payback time in Washington. Special interest groups who voted heavily for President Barack Obama in the last election are now publicly demanding that he repay them with favors.

Breitbart is reporting that a Detroit City Council member named JoAnn Watson demanded that the President repay the city for its overwhelming support of his re-election by bailing them out of their financial woes.

"Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that," said Watson. "Of course, not just that, but why not?"

Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November.

"After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon," said Watson. "That's what you do."

Watson isn't the only one making a public clamor for return favors.

Terry O'Neil

During an interview with the Daily Caller, National Organization for Women (NOW) president Terry O'Neil said that if the president garnered 55 percent of the women's vote on Election Day, his cabinet should be comprised of a majority of women.To date, the president only has eight females in his 23-member cabinet, and has been dogged by criticism by past female appointees to high government posts that his White House was not exactly a haven for women in search of equal treatment (or pay, for that matter).

Nevertheless, O'Neill pressed for parity for women in the Obama White House, either because she was unaware of his rather dismal past record or because she believes the last election might actually change things.

“I think that if half of the cabinet were women and half of the Supreme Court and half of Congress were women, we would see a lot more policies for expanding education and health care and social services that allow communities to thrive,” O’Neill explained. “We’d see a lot less spending on military weapons systems, and we would also see a lot less of the most powerful, moneyed people not paying their fair share.”

Therefore, she's making her hopes known to the administration. “I’m happy with where the president has gone; I’m positive that he’s going to have a lot of women in his cabinet,” O’Neill added. “Clearly, it should be 50 percent.”

Don't hold your breath.
